Bleary eyed, I pulled on my boots and headed to the hotel elevator. As I was patting the pockets of my hi-vis vest to make sure I had everything, I looked down and saw a trail of footprints leading from my door to where I was standing.

The elevator opened and housekeeping was inside. I felt shame.

Spoons.

You're fed with a spoon as soon as you're off the milk, and you're fed with a spoon before the river takes your aged body to the bitter waters.

And the click-clack of wooden spoons sounds like the rattling of old dry bones.

It's almost like land acknowledgements are all well and good until they can smell the barest whiff of actual reconciliation passing by and then they want to burn it all down.

And people are *interested*!

Look at Stephan, Milo, Kayleigh, Flint, North 02 (to name some bigger channels).

People are hungry for more than the surface-level stuff on mainstream media.

They *are* smart enough for nuance, for complex ideas, for "we don't know!"

The no. of folks at conferences are a fraction of those who want to be there; consisting mostly of those with the time, money, privilege and/or need to attend.

What about underprivileged communities? Those with accessibility/health concerns?
