My previous account was @dumblederp@aussie.zone I left it because Rowling has turned out to be a pretty shitty person and I don’t want the association.
Mostly I’m just here for idle friendly conversation over shared interests.
I can get caught up in my own stubbornness on some topics.

Bihar is a shit hole. Even Indians think it’s a shit hole.

- Comment on Dr Fiona Stanley: ‘If we want better health outcomes, the last thing we need is more doctors and hospitals’ 5 weeks ago:
Firstly I’m a bit suss as the whole thing feels a bit like PR for her book.
She’s proudly clutching a book called First Knowledges Health: Spirit, Country and Culture, which she co-authored.
However:
“We need systems that keep people well, not the systems that pick them up after they’re broken.”
The whole system is pretty fucked. People are overworked and underpaid so that the wealthy grifters of society can make as much profit as possible while grinding the population down to dust. It’s no secret what’s wrong with things and until we have an actual revolution about the way society works I don’t see it changing.
