It's so cool having so many people in my online world who can relate to normal everyday stuff like having to pace in order to have enough energy for a shower. I don't have many (maybe any tbh) people I know in real life who understand what energy-limiting chronic illness is like, I really appreciate the community on here ❤️

Heh. I can't fill out the online consent form for my kid to walk to the off-school sports ground, because I don't have a credit card at the moment 🙃

The meerkat mask mandate you didn’t know about. By Mandy Squires

"Both Melbourne and Werribee zoos have strict mask rules in place to protect the curious creatures from catching COVID from members of the public during “meerkat experience” sessions."

@auscovid19

Both Melbourne and Werribee zoos have strict mask rules in place to protect the curious creatures from catching Covid from members of the public during “meerkat experience” sessions. “Fitted face masks are to be worn on all experiences, behind the scenes, tours and in some animal habitats, which will be signed,” Melbourne Zoo informs potential visitors on its website. The zoo’s terms and conditions state that anyone who refuses to mask-up as directed can be refused entry or ordered to leave the zoo. Masks are also required to be worn by visitors participating in Werribee Zoo’s African cat experience, that allows humans to get close to servals. A spokeswoman for Zoos Victoria said precautionary measures were taken “to carefully manage health risks through animal care practices, such as wearing masks whenever there are animal and keeper interactions with primates, meerkats and our feline species”. It comes as the number of Victorians hospitalised with Covid each day surges again, after the state enjoyed a brief respite. An average of 116 people a day were hospitalised with the virus last week, up from 95 the week before. Covid deaths have also risen to 80 in the most recent 28-day reporting period of March 6 to April 2 — more than in the previous period of February 7 to March 5, with the latest metropolitan and regional wastewater testing revealing “increasing prevalence of Covid-19 infections in the community”.
A Covid vaccine for Australian zoo animals has been made. The Zoo and Aquarium Association Australasia (ZAA) and Adelaide biotech company Vaxine developed the vaccine, called SpikeVet, based on technology used in the COVAX-19 human vaccine. “We explored a range of options to vaccinate our zoo animals and this option was selected considering both safety and potential effectiveness,” co-convener of the ZAA Veterinary Advisory Group, Dr David McLelland, said. “While Covid-19 vaccines for animals have also been developed overseas, it is more feasible to use a locally made vaccine, particularly one that has already been shown to be safe and effective in a broad range of animal species.” ZAA said the SpikeVet vaccine had an optimised formulation appropriate for animals of very different sizes and was designed to protect against all the major Covid variants, including the Omicron variants.

Anyone know if pets can also get this covid vaccine?

If I got an email that said "I look forward to your early reply" I would mentally shove it to the bottom of my to-do list, I think.
If you had an actual reason that you needed a reply by a certain time and mentioned that reason I'd move it to the top.
Is it just me or is it a really passive-aggressive sort of phrase?

JFC the minimises are out here now saying viral persistence is good for the immune system 🤪
Honestly to dog I've never wished chronic illness on so many people in my life. If it's so good for you, have mine!! Take all the chronic illness from those of us who fucking know what this life is like, set us free and you can fucking have your viral persistence. I wish you joy of it!

My town lets you request street trees be planted anywhere you can keep an eye on them and water if needed. I am responsible for four trees on my block, and just requested three more. It's great to know that I'm literally throwing shade.

@danielpunkass
That's so cool! I left a note in some neighbours' letterboxes letting them know that street trees are free and what the benefits are, and the lady down the road showed up to give me a lecture on why she doesn't like trees 🥲

@3TomatoesShort@disabled.social avatar

@danielpunkass
She'd had a bad experience because there were some unsuitable trees on her verge when she bought the block & she incurred a lot of costs etc, and unfortunately she wasn't willing to talk to the council about more suitable options :(

The front garden was all quiet this morning so I took the opportunity to empty and refill the birdbath. As soon as I finished the birds started appearing, and now it's alive with birdsong again 🥰
So blessed to be able to carve out these little miracles on a micro scale, while the world seems to burn on a macro scale 🥲

One of these days I will see one too many "if you don't cut your grass you'll have a magical wonderland of flowers" posts and I'll share photos of my disgusting, ugly ex-lawn. I'm happy some of you have flowers but that doesn't mean they appear magically for everyone 🙄

Have to spend 30 min longer in my doctor's waiting room because he left for an urgency. Fortunately, we have smartphones today. Since the pandemic, there's no more reading material and I forgot to take a small car with me. 😄

Haha, this gave me an intense flashback to the stage in my life where I always had a little car in my pocket or my handbag/nappy bag, just in case 😁

Hmmm the exact same Zyrtec tablets my youngest takes for his mast cell flare ups now says 12+ only on the new packets, instead of also half a tablet for ages 6-12.
Now I apparently need to get the chewable children's Clarantyne, which includes (unlisted) colours and flavours, increasing the chances that a non-active ingredient will trigger a mast cell problem! 🤦🏼‍♀️
Unless I just keep buying the Zyrtec 🤔

That's impressive! None of my dogs have ever submitted gracefully to taking tablets 😅

Ahh! I'm being lazy (or perhaps just efficient!) and only checking the options available at my supermarket, I expect there's a lot of other options at the chemist 😅

Long COVID denialism puts you on the wrong side of history

So important that we have stories and articles etc from those who remember - so many people (including me) either weren't born or were too young to be aware of what was happening.

Not managing to fit my tVNS in on days the kids aren't at school. Think I'd better switch from a one hour block to half an hour in the morning & again in the arvo.
Yesterday I ignored all other housework to get 2 specific chores done, so today I have a mountain of washing up to catch up on 😔
T minus 8 days until dishwasher!!!

Oh goodness I'd definitely prefer to go without my dishwasher than my coffee machine! 😱
Do you have an alternate supply of coffee while you wait?

Yay! Only one more load of washing up to go & then we're caught up again for the first time in a week. And then maybe tomorrow I can spare a little energy for tidying my bedroom. And my goodness the robot vacuum needs to run ASAP.

The washing up has, inevitably, regenerated 🥲

Apologies for tooting a bunch of mundane, pointless shit tonight - every time I see a post about the bridge my brain is generating troubling mental imaginings so I'm trying to not process that by thinking of lots of other random non-upsetting things 😔
