“As we mark the significant milestone of the one millionth refugee arrival to Australia since WWII, we have recorded some of the untold stories of refugees who have rebuilt their lives in Australia.” This Thursday, in Sydney.

"This is the first step to repair the loss of trust that many Aboriginal people feel towards the NT Police. We extend our thanks to those who have made this strategy a reality and acknowledge the hard work and dedication of #LeanneLiddle in this process." A start.

There were 2 humans & 4 dogs in bed at the time he says he was scratched, but his mind went to being attacked by a supernatural spirit? And his reaction was to read the Bible & call his producer 😂. It was probably one of his dogs begging to be let out to potty.

⚡️This quote is both raw and profoundly modern, but it’s not as liberating as it appears. It’s a rebellion that accidentally reveals the void it’s trying to escape from. It’s the gospel of a generation that mistook intensity for meaning. It tells you to feel everything, because it secretly knows most people don’t believe in anything. It’s the creed of those born into abundance and anxiety, the ones who conquered comfort but lost the sacred. “Love your life. Take pictures. Talk to strangers.” It’s not wrong - it’s just the language of an age that has forgotten transcendence. When the spiritual vacuum expands, people start worshiping experience itself. The camera becomes the altar. The self becomes the god. The truth underneath this quote is both beautiful and tragic. It captures the hunger for aliveness that can only emerge in a civilization dulled by safety. People long for risk again, for uncertainty, for proof they’re still human. “Do things you’re scared to do” is the secular version of “walk by faith, not by sight.” Its courage detached from divinity. So yes, this message resonates because it speaks to the instinct that something vital has been lost. But the highest form of life isn’t reckless experience - it’s conscious creation. Not “fuck it,” but forge it. The point isn’t to do everything - it’s to do something that endures. In the end, this quote is the echo of a generation trying to feel infinite inside a dying system. It’s not nihilism. It’s a flare shot into the night sky by souls who still remember what light feels like.

“Whatever it takes” Graham Richo Richardson was an exceptional Environment and Health minister. But those flaws … He evolved from Sussex Street NSW ALP machine culture which eventually gave us characters like Eddie Obeid, the branch’s “criminal faction”.

"But psychoanalysis...has always been essentially a critique of straightforwardly causal accounts of how people become who they are. Indeed, what distinguishes psychoanalysis is that it can show us the ways in which a life is not merely the effect of its causes..." Adam Phillips

Just had large household item delivered by #CapitalTransport - great service. Was notified of truck leaving warehouse, delivery tracked & called me when 30 mins away. The delivery boys were fab, taking care to set up & good communication. @myer great choice of partner 👏🏽👏🏽

“Any therapist who claims that he or she confidently knows what to do most of the time probably isn’t paying close enough attention to what is actually transpiring in the room.” —Paul Wachtel

Fall is here and many of you may be shopping for an overcoat. Let me show what you can get as you move up the price ladder. 🧵

“It’s not innate talent, years of experience, or quality of training (although these help): It’s the desire to improve. The desire has 3 components: appraising oneself realistically, engaging in deliberate practice, and valuing feedback on one’s performance.” - Michael Karson

There are so many moments from this campaign I want to share, but this one sticks out the most. Zohran handing Rama flowers backstage at Terminal 5 in June, & pulling back the curtains to show her the crowd. What has struck me most about Zohran is how joyful & kind he remains..

Back in the 50m outdoor pool with all my mates 😜 Eureka pool at The Rat with Ballarat Beavers 😉 Not warm enough to lie down and dry off on the concrete just yet 😊 #outdoorpool #ballaratbeavers #blacklinefever

Presenté una denuncia por el episodio de acoso que viví ayer en la Ciudad de México. Debe quedar claro que, más allá de ser presidenta, esto es algo que viven muchas mujeres en el país y en el mundo; nadie puede vulnerar nuestro cuerpo y espacio personal. Revisaremos la legislación para que este delito sea sancionable en los 32 estados. csp.presidenta.gob.mx/no-al-…

“Five films in particular — “Mother Bhumi,” “Lost Land,” “April,” “The Blue Trail” and “Little Amelie or the Character of Rain” — feature migration narratives that stretch from Southeast Asia to South America, and from documentary realism to mythic animation.” #TIFF
