@markeology This article has some good evidence-based strategies that could help with some ideas. "How to Enjoy the Benefits of Nature Without Ever Leaving Your Home". Link to article here: self.com/story/nature-b…

Chronically ill friends: My therapist wants me to interact with nature more, but I'm not exactly up for a stroll in the woods most days, y'know? What are some low-impact things you do that connect you to nature? Houseplants? A bucket of dirt next to your bed to stick your feet in?

@DrEmmaBeckett Mi goreng or 2 minute noodles cooked with one of those steam fresh vegetable packs.

What are your best recipe ideas for taking a convenience cooking product (like a packet mix of pasta or rice, or a ready made sauce for example) and jazzing it up with veggies? Share with me?

@Magnolia_613 Another reason to wear while mowing the lawn is to protect against psittacosis.

@caitecassidy My HECS debts is a similar amount, indexation this year tipped it into six figures.

Finally checked my student loan and I'm thrilled to announce my debts will hereby be the problem of my children upon my death

@DrJaninaRamirez Best things that have helped me are: HEPA filters at home, rinsing out nose with nasal rinse, and looking at the pollen count in my area each day and wesring a mask outside on those days / limit being outside on those if possible, oh and a little bit of vicks under my nose.

Hay fever flooring me this year!!!! Dear friends, send me your hacks, solutions, suggestions and support. I’m on my knees….

@Becciend @YouAreLobbyLud My Mum wanted to swap to her N95 to a blue surgical mask because she finds the others are uncomfortable and thinks it's fine because that's what the doctors wear.

@Becciend @YouAreLobbyLud Where my Mum receives her cancer treatment, they never put HEPA filters in place. They were wearing N95 masks, but now back to baggy blues that hang around ears or under chins. Dr last week kept leaning his elbow on the desk and was resting his hand on his mask.

600 COVID cases in Queensland hospitals, Bundaberg and Mackay hospitals bringing back mask mandates, but QE2 Hospital in Brisbane is ... REMOVING HEPA FILTERS! Of course they are. This is from the 6th June staff newsletter, "What's New @ QEII May Edition".👇

@Aster26372073 I arranged for one lunch to be outside, and team were (mostly) supportive. Other times if they're eating inside I wear a mask, order takeaway, chat while others eat, then work/eat lunch outside when back at office. If we're in a big wave like we are now, I'd decline and say why.

Question to my covid conscious corporate drones, do you all mention covid precautions when you get invited to lunch or an outing by coworkers or do you just politely decline and leave the mask as an elephant in the room that speaks for itself?

@BlairWilliams26 I have a selective sound condition (misophonia) and need to have at least one headphone in, often two. Otherwise I can't focus, at all. There's so many different reasons why people need to wear headphones!

@BlairWilliams26 Mine jumped by $6662.85 this year!

@DALupton So disappointed to see that many conferences that offered virtual options during 2020-2022 have now returned to face to face, with either extremely limited or zero virtual options. I'm in the workplace health, safety, and wellbeing field too! Thanks for this resource.

@hierobadge My debt just increased by $6,662.85, yay for me 😟

@acweyand Low iron for me presents as a severe depressive episode. Thankfully the first time I presented to the GP about it, they ran some blood tests rather than give me antidepressants straight away. I had an iron infusion and felt hugely better 2-3wks later.

Iron deficiency with or without anemia is incredibly common in people who menstruate. And we are learning more all the time about why that’s such a problem… michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/cou…

@binarythis Like others, I have my working days in my email signature. I also put an out of office on for my non-work day which has a colleagues details for if there's something urgent that needs to be followed up.

Advice: I don’t work on Fridays because I’m at home caring for my daughter. Do people think it’s a good idea to put an out of office on emails to identify part time work, or does this tend to make the situation worse (in terms of being cut out of things)?

@BlairWilliams26 @Megasaurus_Bray You can subscribe for notifications of planned burns at plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au They also show up on the Vic Emergency app

@BlairWilliams26 @ToshiAkima I've been using these for 2+ years, have always found them easy to use and comfortable. No covid so far (touchwood 🤞🤞) despite being a close contact on several occassions.

@SaraSalehTweets Great... with the amount that'll add to my debt, I could pay for another unit or two. Yet another system that disadvantages people who can't pay upfront, and means the total cost of my course will pay wayyyy more than someone who could afford to pay upfront.

People with HECS-HELP loans can expect to see their amount owed increase by 7% when loans are indexed to inflation on June 1. Anyone earning $62,738 or less will see their debt increase faster than they can pay it off, on a HECS debt of $23,685 – the national average.

@BlairWilliams26 I gave up on wearing my hair down when wearing a mask as could never get it right. Then a few weeks ago another person shared a video of them putting on a mask with their hair down and it was so helpful! Share those skills! 😊

@millbernasconi @DrEmmaBeckett This looks great and pretty sure I have all the ingredients in the cupboard!

@DrEmmaBeckett I may or may not have eaten this for four dinners in a row recently 😅 healthylivingjames.co.uk/10-minute-pean…

Twitter fam, I’m after your fav simple dinner ideas but with some criteria 1) nutritious +tasty 2) needs to be easy for someone to eat with only one functioning hand who might need to eat not at a table 3) simple flavours as well as simple in creating 4) easy to adjust portions

@DrEmmaBeckett Also, poke bowls. Again, so many different options. Pick a base (rice or noodles), pick a protein, choose some veg, add dressing, and something crunchy to finish.

@DrEmmaBeckett I'm loving rice paper rolls at the moment. Relatively cheap, so many different filling options, and they're quick and easy (albeit sticky) to make. Can eat them anywhere and add dipping sauces if want more flavour.
