On the adventure of a lifetime. Gratefully living and working on Kabi Kabi country. This is my new personal tank-topping space. May post words or photos or both, or may simply enjoy a platform not drowning in vitriol. Go gently, friends.

Are we surprised? No. No, we are not. Back we go to the heady days of Joh Bjelke-Petersenโ€™s values: corruption, destruction, nepotism, racism, misogyny and homophobia. We humans have such short memories.

Bastions of patriarchy, whose ends โ€” personal, political and โ€œreligiousโ€ โ€” always justify their means. Was it you, Jane, who wrote, โ€œMen have built entire societies, entire religions, around avoiding truth.โ€? So much cruelty unleashed and encouraged in the names of gods who preached the opposite.

Iโ€™ve no idea if thereโ€™s enough humanity in Sen. Mike Leeโ€™s office to be appealed to, but I respect and admire this stafferโ€™s attempt.

Iโ€™m so tired of decency being seen, portrayed and dismissed as weakness.

Iโ€™m so sorry for the loss youโ€™re feeling, and also grateful for your joyful embrace of living. Go gently and with grace, dear friend.

Iโ€™m sadly confined indoors after some surgery so I need to rely on othersโ€™ clouds for joy for a little while. But hereโ€™s the last I saw IRL. Hope all is very well in your world xxx

Itโ€™s election time in Australia and the decision Iโ€™m struggling with most today is which order to number the last 4 of 7 candidates. Which of the racist, misogynist, homophobic climate change deniers is in ANY way better than the other immoral, extreme, intolerant fear- and hate-mongerers? #resist

Disgusting. Disgraceful. Needs to be dismissed from any role that puts him in a position of power or authority over other human beings.

โ€œAlways remember boys: bury the body under concrete.โ€

The pic is of Greg Malham, a neurosurgeon. He said the above abhorrent quote (and a lot more similar violent rhetoric) in this video:

Read the pics for the rest of this post. Then please help take action.

I also canโ€™t fathom why the ATO has zero interest in pursuing behemoths such as Crown Resorts, Eagers and Harvey Norman who received โ€” and kept โ€” JobKeeper payments they didnโ€™t need. $38 billion in JobKeeper went to employers that did not suffer sustained downturns below threshold levels.

What do we think the dawn chorus is chatting and trilling and tweeting about before the sunโ€™s barely thought about putting in an appearance?

Busy, social creatures. They must have their coffee on tap.

The sun rises above clouds over a calm Pacific Ocean, the same ocean that washes the shores of the peoples of Oceania, Asia and the Americas. Itโ€™s peaceful here, a new day, a sense of opportunity to be, do and care better.

Good morning from the southern side of the planet, where a new day dawns and the rallying cries from Les Mis are my ear worms. Go gently and with kindness into this new week of challenge and opportunity.

I think it could be worth challenging the notion Trump doesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s doing.

Well, itโ€™ll totally make rich(er) the billionaires who crowed as they created the market crash and can afford to buy up the now-bargain-basement stocks before they flip the levers again to โ€œcorrectโ€ the market trajectory. I know they look like idiots. I fear theyโ€™re the opposite.

How the fuck do we live in a country which might be about to elect an arsewipe who as recently as 6 weeks ago thought Trump was a clever guy and a great President and we should โ€œcut him some slackโ€???
