@mitchellh leaving Github for me was such a sigh of relief. I hope it is for you too.Looking forward to hearing about where you end up, if only to suggest to other folk

@maswan @hacks4pancakes ditto!

fyi: Australia = highest concentration of profit driven agriculture in the world, starting with Gina Rinehart, which means massive power to lobbyists funded through cattle sales. We have 26 million cattle for a population of 22 million. We supply meat to the USA.

A previous CEO of AA&Co is now running for parliament with One Nation

We also have lax ag/chemical laws, thanks to Rinehart funded Barnaby Joyce:

@hacks4pancakes as a middle aged woman dealing with a laundry list of symptoms including fatigue, hairloss, bad concentration, muscle/joint pain + stiffness etc etc, kudos to you for getting a diagnosis + treatment and continuing on despite your symptoms.

@hacks4pancakes That sounds huge! Congrats!

@bagder you wouldn't happen to be in Nebraska, by any chance?
edit (thankyou mastodon!) - I can see that you're not, but it still applies 100 fold:
Thankyou for all that you do.

"There is currently no evidence regarding the optimum HRT monitoring strategy"
So, in laypersons terms, does this mean "when women hit the age where if they were cattle, they'd be sent to meatworks to die, that's when the medical industry who provide at best sub optimal information re: womens health, turn their backs on us completely?"

@alan Happy to discuss if you have any questions
Andrew Forrest is literally the Bill Gates of Australia - Billionaire "doing good".
However:
"Court filings show the Yindjibarndi Ngurra Aboriginal Corporation is seeking A$1.8 billion in compensation from the Western Australian government after it allowed the Fortescue mining company to dig iron ore on their sacred country without any land-use agreement."

@greenpeace "Real security means getting off oil & gas."
Yes it does, so if you + your social media @nickofnz could stop #disinformation about Australia's renewables and tell the truth that Australia is the largest user per capita of diesel in the world, appreciated.
fyi @ghost_shit

@robloblaw Thank you for your thoughts.
I've had similar conversations previously.

@JulianOliver don't believe the climate hype re: Australia's "massive" renewables use nearing 100% renewables. Australia is at 9% renewables as a % of total energy consumption, and is the largest user of diesel per capita in the world ️

@nickofnz
"Can we all agree now that we must exorcise ourselves of the oil industry and oligarchs that profit from bloodshed?"
Unfortunately, for The Australia Institute + Greenpeace Australia, no. There's MONEY to be made, just like Norway does!
