@flissbright @DrJacs1 @mikeythenurse sorry I've not been on for a while happy to help

@DrJacs1 @mikeythenurse @AlliedAlex I had to google phagophobia so definitely not the person! @AlliedAlex might be able to help, but will also DM the details of a feeding specialist in Auckland.

@AndrewDickson13 Sports NZ funds local sports branches to support enablement of disability sports programmes. I'm assuming sports otago for you but bear with my ignorance... message me if you get stuck, I know a few people may be able to connect you up.

Help! Aotearoa - I'm trying to establish an inclusive community gym in my small rural community. Where would I go for funding for this type of thing? Please RT, I need all the knowledge.

Today health + disability agencies will give evidence on failures by the State to prevent and respond to abuse in state/faith based care to the Royal Commission of Inquiry. It’s a public hearing and its website is fairly comprehensive / easy to navigate: abuseincare.org.nz/our-inquiries/…

@DrJacs1 It's amazing how healing pulls on our resources. Rest is by far your best friend. 😴😴

I'm deep in study today, reminding myself the importance of the messages in this article. 2019 just as relevant in 2022, if not more so theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Boom and then there were 11 webinars from @tetiritifutures on our YouTube channel - the dawn raids, United Nations, Tertiary education, media, education, free trade, Māori sovereignty, Matike Mai, ACORD @STIRantiracism youtube.com/c/tetiritibase…

Last week I finally got covid. Lessons learnt 1. It's not just mild flu. Headaches in particular are insane. 2. Covid brain is a thing. I usually thrive on multi tasking, my struggle is real. 3. Masks and social distancing remain key in stopping the spread. Up your game urban NZ!

How many of our health professions could these challenges apply to? Great article! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

@ehealthnewsnz @HINZ_NZ @karenlbnz @KarenJDay @NKershaw @johnnyA_nz So excited! The result of pauses, plot twists and pivots, you guys are absolute miracle workers for pulling this off!

@JacquieKidd1 That's awesome! So much research to say that anything we do at any age or stage can have a lasting impact on healthy ageing (and ageing begins at birth ☺️

What a powerful story he has just told. A real wake up to my Sunday.

Mereana Pitman today speaking on mobilising for racial justice - Never be afraid to ask, to have the korero, to find your voice. Then you will start to find your allies who will stand beside you as you are not alone in what you think. #TeTiritibasedfuturesAntiracism2022

@JacquieKidd1 Yes and yes. So many of us on the journey and as my awareness grows the bar of what is racist in my eyes has changed so dramatically. Once you see you can't unsee, then make the decision is this behaviour one I walk by and therefore choose to accept.

I'm back doing my studies and have been doing a bit of a deep dive in to the impact of free trade agreements on health equity. And the more I read the heavier my heart becomes.... scoop.co.nz/stories/PO2203…

@JacquieKidd1 Very sensible, looking forward to seeing you online.

Totally stand beside this #Neurodivergent

@JacquieKidd1 It is thanks. I don't normally talk about it publicly but seeing you brave has nudged me. Thanks for that!

@sckitupbuttercp @JacquieKidd1 This is really good. Ask if you have any questions I'll find the answers if I don't know them!
