Is the Premier grooming the Tasmanian people?

Grooming happens when a person in a position of power tries to declare a reality that isn’t true but that the subservient victim has no power to correct. The constructed reality is always about keeping the victim powerless and the groomer safe. When…

Story

Do you remember when your story began? Not all dogs come when thay are called. Recall is like that. I know I was there. I studied embryology in my medical degree. The ectoderm, the mesoderm, the endoderm. But was I me before the ectoderm? We can learn so much about the brain and still not…

Heart

I learned about the heart in my medical degree. I didn’t discover anything about how a heart loves. I learned the muscle, chambers, blood supply, nodes and nerve stimulation. I learned to see electricity on an ECG. It was during a cardiothoracic rotation at Royal North Shore Hospital that my…

Family time

One of the most delicious things I do is watch my mother share treasures from her grandchildren with my children. These treasures are simply remembered moments that took her breath away or made her heart swell or simply brought a smile that marked a place in time. And she wrote them…

A child

We act as if a child is born into a pre-existing world, but for the child they are the world. The centre of their own universe. They live only in the present. They do not yet have the language to construct a past or a future. They trust naively for they have not yet been betrayed. They…

They are preparing to deport US citizens along with anyone they deem undesirable.

“They are going to deliver US citizens to a supermax prison in El Salvador” just wasn’t in my list of things that could go wrong under Trump II

Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy? The boy who lived in public housing comes to die on a corporately owned hill.

Bluesky doesn’t allow group chats but it is coming apparently

Its like driving when the indicators and wipers are on the wrong side. But its not just like getting used to it because you swap between cars multiple times a day. Have you looked at substack. That feels more like facebook

Epic courage here.

Yes I feel like I’m walking around in a refugee camp in a daze trying to find familiar faces. This is where I should ask, who else have you found and where are the toilets 😬

I feel like I am emigrating from Facebook because democracy no longer lives there… how do we find each other again? Is this what a refugee camp looks like when you arrive for the first time and there is stuff everywhere and nothing is familiar?

The Australian Federal Cabinet has reached gender parity for the first time in our history.

Our culture understands that there isn’t a level playing field. White male priveledge has always meant that women need to be more intelligent and more qualified to get the same job as a white man.

This is how we are all feeling about meta. Years of growing communities and conversation to see it bow to the oligarchs.

Might be time to start posting here and see how the platform works.
