Your dragons made it to Australia and have brought this mum and her son closer together in a cooperative endeavour instead of a zero-sum game that ends in tears for one of us.
We came for the pretty dragons and stayed for the challenge of reaching prosperity with our scaly friends. Kid’s review: 5⭐️

I like C J Cherryh.

But he was so dry-witted. You felt parched and entertained all at once.

I don’t understand why people are reading his book or his journalism. It’s yawnful.

I live in terror of that moment (hopefully still way off in a hypothetical future) when my little boy disconnects from me as yours has. Would it not be helpful to ask him when he thinks that occurred? What he was experiencing at that time? My sympathies to you. 💔💔💔

I think it is always worth mentioning that Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed with their beloved dog Gilbert: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/u...

Uhhh… gosh. The number of people on Jobseeker is really not that many… suspect I’ve grownup a bit sheltered, but also a bit prejudiced.. interesting how the middle class has its own shibboleths.

Agreed. In an ideal world you would have allies coming forward to talk about impact. Even - have a Commissioner come forward and point out that spectators and young wannabe players will be discouraged from wanting to reach AFLM by those words.

Appalling. Undermines legitimate mental health concerns.

AFLM has never had a player who has come out as gay. So I doubt any player would admit their well-being was impacted by a homophobic slur. That would be an admission.

Ohhhhhh. This makes me sad and glad. Stuart Macintyre was a mentor to me. Or at least, he used to take books off his office shelves and heave the towards me.
