Based on weekly video diaries I created in the year following my mother's death, this show takes you into the mind and heart of a grief therapist who confirms that there is no one way to 'do grief right'.

Happy to do acts of kindness of any size - today and always.

Also happy to continue calling my actions "acts of kindness" because I'm an atheist Australian who isn't interested in propping up religious organisations and their representatives by reproducing language allied to a belief-based cause

Why 'unjust' electoral finance laws threaten our democracy Challenging the laws supports Australians’ right to real choice at the ballot box – it's about ensuring elections remain open to competition.

#Auspol should be a lot madder about this.

'Australia’s new electoral laws have all the hallmarks of a cartel move ... This is not reform. It is a rort. It entrenches the major party duopoly at a time when Australians are asking for something different.'

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

It has been The Onion's best year since we broke Watergate and subsequently, personally had Richard Nixon removed from office.

I'm going to share some personal favorite stories in this thread.

I'll be on Afternoons with Amber Cunningham of ABC Radio Perth tomorrow, New Year's Eve!!

I was quoted in a recent ABC print article, then my details were requested, which is a flattering testament to my stance on clear language for end of life and advance planning. 😍

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic.

It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today.

Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

No Day of Reflection for victims of men’s violence I notice. No special envoy on femicide. No armed squad offered to protect us, of course.
Nothing to see here.

Labor finds a way to implement Jillian Segal's madcap report — by not implementing it The government's response to the Segal review is to ignore its multiple unlawful recommendations, while taking steps on free speech that previously would have had critics howling with rage.

"The government’s response to the Segal review is to ignore its multiple unlawful recommendations ..." I hope he's right and they stay that way. Let's hope the IHRA definition adoption joins them in no-man's land. #Auspol

A few years back I created a micro-model supporting people who want to die at home with an aim to help streamline #EOLD work & eliminate carer burnout. I published a journal article in open-access (free). This model works for rehabilitation and disability - and has been downloaded over 6,000 times!

Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor? I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, “Should I smile or not smile?” and I said, “How would you want to be portrayed?” We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, “You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.” And I looked at him and I said, “You know, you do, too.”
