Heavy school bags suck. They don't cause #scoliosis but that doesn't change how much they suck and could cause back injuries, so let's do away with them. #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth

Some experts have stated that #scoliosis doesn't cause pain. While that may be true for some, it minimises the reality for many. Those experts are ignorant idiots and their patients deserve pity. #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth

Being told to stand up straight and stop slouching is not helpful to someone with #scoliosis. Just annoying. Maybe even hurtful. #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth

While it is less common, boys get #scoliosis too! Comments that only girls get it (which I had a physio tell me) make an already shameful and stigmatised condition worse for males. #ScoliosisAwarenessMonth

"How do you like your eggs? Poached? Scrambled?" the waiter asked the group of friends as they studied the breakfast menu. "I like to #freeze mine," Katie joked. Mia choked back tears and breakfast became awfully silent. #vss365

"A pint of whatever's good on tap." The glass was filled and pushed towards her. "What? Aren't you gonna ask me for ID? I could be an #undercover cop testing you." The barman sighed. "Grandma, I'm pretty sure you're not under-age or a cop. Does Pop know you're out again?" #vss365

Today is #ScoliosisAwarenessday and for kids with #scoliosis and #kyphosis stuck on massive wait lists across Australia - I’m sorry. Our public hospitals need to do better. It is scientifically proven that wait lists result in more extensive #fusion surgery.

Today is International Scoliosis Awareness Day. Fellow scoliots, you are probably already aware so hope you have a happy day free of pain, discomfort and self consciousness 🥰

Plastic that's killing seabirds nesting on Lord Howe Island is coming from the waters off east coast Australia. "Not some foreign country, not some far-flung location, but here in our own backyard." - Dr Jennifer Lavers #PlasticFreeJuly #PlasticFreePlanet abc.net.au/news/2022-07-0…

Plastic is an animal welfare issue. "By looking at [these shearwaters], we're looking at the future of all wildlife [...] as we expose ourselves to more and more plastic." 😢 abc.net.au/news/2022-07-0…

2 whale entanglements yesterday in QLD shark nets. 🐳 NO valid scientific reason for shark nets when we have modern-day solutions - including drones, shark tracking, and personal deterrents. The QLD Gov must get the #NetsOutNow during whale migration. lnkd.in/dHicDjTY

In a world where you be anything...Choose to be kind 😍🙏🤍

Stop culling sharks and modernise beach safety in Queensland using non-lethal solutions, such as drones. End the use of shark nets and drumlines today. #ThisIsQueensland #NetsOutNow #SharkAwarenessDay

I want to see cruel and outdated shark nets GONE. It's well past time to move to more effective, non-lethal solutions. #NetsOutNow Dominic Perrottet James Griffin MP Dugald Saunders MP
