I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Why is the split in English breakfast muffins so non-committal? Yeah I’m cut in half but only kind of.” Get off the fence, muffins.

Why does no one warn you about how little control over your eyebrows you have after 50? The full Gallagher every couple of days. 🤨

The absolute cowardice of Metro Trains, sending in agency staff to front up to the public about their awful service. Our line has been severely limited for 11 months and we are about to lose it completely in one direction for six months. Not a single Metro officer in sight, ever. @ptua.org.au

My son was stillborn in 2020. By allowing working parents time to grieve, Baby Priya’s bill will change lives | Gemma Killen
I can hardly imagine how hard it would have been to return to a workplace that had declared that I was not a parent – and that my baby didn’t really count
This week I became somewhat of a vigilante keyboard warrior, trawling posts about the passing of baby Priya’s bill to correct every commenter that wilfully misunderstood the bill or used it as an excuse to pick a fight about women’s rights. No, the bill will not put small business owners out of business by forcing them to offer unlimited paid leave. No, the bill won’t mean women’s employment numbers go down. And very importantly, no, the bill does not incentivise late-term terminations.
The Australian federal parliament passed baby Priya’s bill – an amendment to the Fair Work Act – to ensure employers cannot cancel paid parental leave in the event of stillbirth or because a baby dies after birth. The change brings employer paid parental leave in line with government-funded parental leave and unpaid parental leave. Continue reading...

this piece is infuriating. disabled people are being paid a few dollars an hour - this has to change, yet the focus here is on well paid non-disabled people, pontificating about things that are not true.

Some in the disability employment sector say they are operating in an increasingly complex and changing environment, and that there is a need for a clear way forward for organisations supporting people with complex needs.
