My generation shouldn’t be scared of a care tax – we’re paying one already | Gaby Hinsliff
By Gaby HinsliffIf Andy Burnham is minded to grasp the nettle, he will need to sell it to people like me. The right will call it a ‘death tax’ – why not a levy for ageing well?

@sarae with the pain I feel from #mums/ #parents and #carers and #supporters I just don't get why it's such an issue for people.
I have a mate, a #roadtrain #driver in their 69th year who told me in December 21 that she was #trans. She had finally met herself and it's obvious she is so much #happier now.
How can a trans child effect a group of #random #adults who are afraid of what? What on god's green earth is there to be afraid of FFS?

📝 The UK government's #PensionsCommission interim report - it's encouraging to see CPC-CG research referenced and acknowledged in the report, which sets out the challenges that the UK's #pensions system is facing to 2050.
The report cites research led by CPC-CG Co-Director Professor Maria Evandrou, which shows that policies encouraging #older adults to remain in #employment are in direct conflict with the rising reliance on informal #carers to provide #socialcare.

CW: Long Covid Awareness Day, family, mutual aid, radical collective care
Also, really wanted to say on #LongCovidAwarenessDay how grateful I am for my amazing partner who cares for me and supports me, unconditionally, so much on a day to day basis; I am not sure what I would do without them. I also am lucky to have a few close family members, some who have always been supportive and then others who seem to be responding positively to my change in approach of being a stronger advocate for myself and my illness. Again, I am really thankful for how much of a positive impact the online community has had on me with this. Importantly, this also relates into the need for radical intersectional praxis regarding Mutual Aid e.g. Mask Blocs, creating and sharing resources with each other, and building communal care collectives that foster new, healthier, solidarity framed relationships, resisting state violence collectively, rather than having to be 'lucky' enough to have people close to you, especially family, there for us.

CW: Users are the biggest weakness of a network / Improving user trust is the #1 solution to large systems of people who fail to share their futures AND are not building trust at all... to really do more than Modern Capitalism
Lately I've had a few good posts about why #systems are failing and missing out the humans themselves. A few post titles are below and short points first.
TLDR:
➡️ User-to-User interaction and progress needed on any network else people stay weak
➡️ personal contact / match-making of some kind needed by individuals and dedicated ppl
➡️ encouraging closer relativity / mutuality and from that projects naturally...
➡️ mutual growing people is essential for wider society, skills and mindset
➡️ not just growing machines!
(that is the way to Matrix!)Titles and links below:
1 ➡️ #Social systems / #p2p fails when the #users themselves are not regularly doing the #trust work #peertopeer and constructively themselves not building that - just consuming media or just on the #Trump hashtag while leaders steal our #future.
Having "system" is not enough We need people or events to get together others together much like online seminars, circles or conferences help 'push' people together or at least see mutuality more clearly.
📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113823713534235778
2 ➡️ Real work is done ON the users and admin themselves (people change).
It's also NOT about expanding #google on everything or using #BigTech to expand without much mindset change - we need more non-#AWS stuff knowing later that US space is a big #problem / #compromised.
The people-to-people work is doing better stuff than just 'machines' as the main work, coding re-coding the same shit while people stay behind.
Communication daily rather than #massstorage #McDonalds... :amazon: :aws: :google:
📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113823094138379891
3 ➡️ Up to us not waiting for leaders or others forever...
Who's ready to build and build with trust? We need to work with those that can actually start and increase, and respond to reason better. Not waiting for history to repeat itself.📋 Post: https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113822893619105510
These post are so deliciously close to the Holy Grail of togetherness or solving things... saying what needs doing and growing people is the way forward.
Others growing others mean:
#informal apprenticeship /
#better #examples of each other etc.But also practically giving ourselves more hints what to do each day or with each other (2 main branches) rather than default "job" and statesmen and middle-people in between who ultimately ruin / misuse it all.
My experience is that even fans or mutual appreciators don't seem to be able to get past a certain level and currently paranoia or "I'm busy" excuses happens (until people see how they can use others) but overall it's about how we all work for each other by building each other up and eventually doing more, especially as all the while communication improves (#1 solution to many things I think).
It's about motivation and enjoyment to from that and then suddenly people are not as busy because they make it part of their life. :thumbsup_hmn_h2:
As usual I write more which I believe Freemo helps shorten for people.
I see the potential from other admins (who generally are more clever / multi-talented / able to multi-task) and users (who can
rrbe better or are clever in-the-waiting) to not miss the obvious point of social improvement but being / living in more of a two-way action and more 'manually' and deliberately doing it each day - it's not any systemBeyond messaging, Automatic things systems cannot do what human need after ability to contact and see each other's profile and work.
So even if it's looking a 1 profile a week more closely and trying to work with them / help or having a broader spectrum of open-access with other... Then slowly but surely real work (people change) happens.
From #KeyboardWarriors to #Techies to #Carers all people are already doing something we might want to be part of or integrate / bridge together - and as a mix of people we're superior to just floating individual having mostly non-dedicated parts of life and one-way / one-message interaction as a way to get away from outside life that I think all this post helps get better inside and out.
"Improving user-to-user interaction" is the main work.
We can do as a main part of 'working' socially which traditionally isn't what today's #Capitalist "jobs" do..
(because "jobs" are more narrow fields / definitions / contracts of work towards profit mainly and at the cost of everything else almost along the way - including emptying the human they use like a battery at the end).
Deliberately-socially messaging has benefits which I think people themselves/admins are not doing because others are not doing it (and once people do it I believe they will or can be tested!). I believe people love to see progress in themselves and others and doing it gives others the power / potential to help fix things instead of stay victim (which is what you see a lot of posts about, powerless).
Everything in their life can be fixed but has to come from this slowly but surely approach while improving friendship or respect (even from afar, lower level to high and vice-versa).
The people work is social change and like human resources we have it largely unused online as I see it. So while it's not for everyone here
THERE IS PLENTY OF PEOPLEand from those 'peer-to-peer- type post titles mentioned at the start I'd like to ask #Freemo about this more as I see him as a potential Captain of the football team because basically he's solid enough already which we all need as leader or moderator and so often on the mark.
He has a sense of morality when even if you wouldn't agree you'd thank him for being far clearer, less emotionally capsizing, and more transparent than the other 'leaders' we see currently everywhere.
So #Freemo does seem to do this work often anyway even if it's a small way and I feel people leave better from conversation and do come back again too (supply and demand!...) so why not this as a part-time thing or helping me to do it with his advice?
Points welcome even if it seems too dreamy... it seems totally doable even if slow-burn...
Cheers #Freemo and here's to you in general! :wine:
And I know you have #CleverThis - this is not ignoring that, but a I think you also need a non-company version as "Ask Freemo" / "Free School" (#AskFreemo / #FreeSchool) as not everyone likes to play that #state games of first jumping into a company but can contribute or get there eventually from other safer or less embedded ways...
Better than us spending too much time on hashtags watching #musk #trump etc getting sucked into their attention and spreading their shit words instead of good ones...
Ok that's it - just sending for now, with your help will re-edit / shorten if you can guide a bit / re-say it / cut it down (even if not totally doing it now - just helps me find more meaning and people who obvious see other people as the main 'problem' to solve / improve #mutually from fault of bad people but also the good not working on making something for good in *this* people-to-people way...

CW: Improving users as my #1 solution to systems of people failing (increasing user-to-user interaction on networks / match-making /encouraging closer social relativity... growing people essentially)
Lately I've had a few good posts hinting to why #systems are failing / missing out humans or what human systems need and are not getting. Basically to encourage each other and even hand-hold more (would have made me test Linux a lot more earlier for example or correct myself in my wrong thoughts previously) so more respect and interaction happens for those that are able and for others to be encouraged and do something more than Trump hating for example.... a few titles are below I thought were closer to what is 100% in short:
1 ➡️ #p2p fails when #users are not doing #peertopeer themselves (having system is not enough)
https://qoto.org/@freeschool/113823713534235778
2 ➡️ Real work is the users and admin / and non-#google non-#AWS stuff... maximising the people-to-people work so #p2p = communication daily rather than mass-storage #McDonalds...

The people work is social change and like human resources we have it largely unused online as I see it. So while it's not for everyone here
THERE IS PLENTY OF PEOPLEand from those 'peer-to-peer- type post titles mentioned at the start I'd like to ask @freemo about this more as I see him as a potential Captain of the football team because basically he's solid enough already which we all need as leader or moderator and so often on the mark.
He has a sense of morality when even if you wouldn't agree you'd thank him for being far clearer, less emotionally capsizing, and more transparent than the other 'leaders' we see currently everywhere.
So Freemo does seem to do this work often anyway even if it's a small way and I feel people leave better from conversation and do come back again too (supply and demand!...) so why not this as a part-time thing or helping me to do it with his advice?
Points welcome even if it seems too dreamy... it seems totally doable even if slow-burn...
Cheers Freemo and here's to you in general! :wine:
And I know you have #CleverThis - this is not ignoring that, but a I think you also need a non-company version as "Ask Freemo" / "Free School" (#AskFreemo / #FreeSchool) as not everyone likes to play that #state games of first jumping into a company but can contribute or get there eventually from other safer or less embedded ways...
Better than us spending too much time on hashtags watching #musk #trump etc getting sucked into their attention and spreading their shit words instead of good ones...
Ok that's it - just sending for now, with your help will re-edit / shorten if you can guide a bit / re-say it / cut it down (even if not totally doing it now - just helps me find more meaning and people who obvious see other people as the main 'problem' to solve / improve #mutually from fault of bad people but also the good not working on making something for good in *this* people-to-people way...

The state of young Australians
A crisis of social reproduction* “Many Australian children struggle with their mental health. Recent data shows around one in seven children (13.9%) aged 4–17 experiences a diagnosable mental illness.”
“…We estimated that reducing factors such as parental psychological distress, hostile parenting and partner violence could potentially prevent up to 40% of severe and persistent mental health problems in young Australians.” >>

“Is vaccine-induced immunity better than immunity from infection?
Vaccine-induced immunity is better because it’s safer. When you get infected with COVID, symptoms from the infection wreak havoc on your body. Whether or not you’ve been infected or vaccinated previously, the COVID booster is going to strengthen your immune responses to high levels and do so in a safe way.
Can I still get COVID if I’m vaccinated?
People who are vaccinated can still get COVID, but it is much more likely they will experience mild symptoms. Vaccinated people are much less likely to experience severe illness or get so sick that they need to be hospitalized. Data continue to show that those who are hospitalized with COVID are largely people who have not received a COVID vaccine within the past 12 months.
Particularly for people at higher risk of severe COVID, vaccination is an essential tool for reducing COVID complications, hospitalization, and death.
Can you get the flu shot and the COVID vaccine at the same time?
Yes! In fact, studies have shown that people who decide to spread out their vaccines into separate appointments often don’t follow through with getting both. We’ve also seen that the immune response generated by each vaccine does not change based on whether they are administered at the same time or separately.
It’s important to remember that many of the same populations at high risk of experiencing severe illness from COVID are also at high risk of severe influenza. Especially for these vulnerable populations, it’s a good idea to time your vaccines together.”
