I saw this on Instagram this morning and thought it worth a share. I’ve been thinking about the multiple fracture lines in the USA quite a bit lately and this explains a lot

This is great day to be Australian. 🇦🇺. As a nation we came together at the ballot box and rejected Trump-style hatred, racism and bigotry. We, along with our Canadian commonwealth cousins have sent a strong message to the world that hate doesn’t always triumph

These young women are expected to work for almost no money while holding down other full time jobs

I’m watching America’s Sweethearts on Netflix about the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. It’s a perfect lesson about patriarchy on a plate

It seems as though there are as many con artists here as any other platform. I like to keep an open mind but and chat with people but really?

This morning I came to a startling realisation. I would rather Australia stayed with King Charles as our head of state than become a republic and descend into the levels of nonsense we see surrounding the US-style presidential system

People’s disbelief of Trump’s behaviour shocks me.

He said he would be a dictator from day one.

When someone, especially a nutcase like him, tells you who they are BELIEVE THEM!

This is why people don't like most "Christians." The goddamn ignorance and hypocrisy is disgusting.

I have zero interest in religion because of the majority of Jesus' so-called followers.

I usually go to the march in support of our indigenous people but couldn’t this year due to an injury. #changethedate

I pay respect to the Elders of the community and extend my recognition to their descendants who are present

I am honoured to be on the ancestral lands of the Aboriginal people.

I acknowledge the First Australians as the traditional custodians of the continent, whose cultures are among the oldest living cultures in human history.

I’m not sure how long ago Australian writer John Pilger penned these thought but the sentiments have truly come home to roost

I just watched this beautiful adaptation of the quintessentially Australian Christmas song by Paul Kelly. It’s beautifully done and moved me to tears several times. If you’ve not got a Binge subscription it is definitely worth signing up for a month to see it
