Just coming back to let yall know I’ve mostly left this platform (and honestly most social media) but am going to try out this clone: bsky.app/profile/cassie…

If you would like to understand some of the ways people present themselves visually in crowdfunding campaigns related to weight loss in Aotearoa, with a justice lens, this is the article for you. First 50 eprints are free: tandfonline.com/eprint/WCU4CSU…

This article will appeal to... 👉 #FatStudies scholars 👉 People trying to understand how crowdfunding & weight stigma impact on our health equity and barriers to access in Aotearoa 👉 Health informatics & digital health nerds 👉 Visual/Visuality studies scholars

@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy Thanks, it was aaages ago and occasionally I recall it and get mad all over again 😡

@scoutriver can I ask how you managed to get paxlovid before you tested posi? I’m going overseas in a few weeks and asked my gp and she said she can’t prescribe unless I’m positive, but I had access last time I had covid 🤞🤞 the rules have changed and I can get it in advance

@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy when you’re in a position of authority or gatekeeping, telling someone something they have done is illegal is A THREAT. Let’s be real clear here eh

@scoutriver @ThisIsCorey @Catherine_andy I called healthline back during omicron to ask if someone in my household could get them bc in high risk. The person on the phone accused me of trying to do something illegal, I shit you not, and I couldn’t get a word in and ended up having to just hang up.

@ThisIsCorey @scoutriver @Catherine_andy I hate this for us!

@scoutriver @Catherine_andy @CassieMPH It has crossed my mind before.

@Catherine_andy @scoutriver @ThisIsCorey I’m sure there are templates they have, documentation for travel is standard for GPs to provide. :) safe travels!

@Catherine_andy @scoutriver @ThisIsCorey The language my doc used:

@scoutriver @Catherine_andy @ThisIsCorey But we are just walking around with a script, not a box of drugs unfortunately. Believe me I have pushed that envelope right up against committing fraud with a fake positive test 😣

@scoutriver @Catherine_andy @ThisIsCorey Yeah I got a letter from my GP saying I was eligible for anti virals here, and if I contract it overseas I should be given it. Of course that was Aus w the reciprocal agreement, so YMMV

Every time you hear a Pākehā stumble over their pepeha it is a reminder that our whakapapa roots take us to the other side of the world. We are unassimilated strangers, yet many of us have been here for generations benefitting from the colonial land grab. #newpaper
