We must recommit to truth telling and treaty for First Nations people since the government dropped the ball. #Indigenousrights #NationalSorryDay #ReconciliationWeek
Today is National Sorry Day, which marks the start of Reconciliation Week.
It’s a time to remember the harm caused to the Stolen Generations, one of the darkest chapters in Australia’s history.

great piece. what are we losing with a win-or-lose approach?
Sometimes history is defined by a way of looking at the world. Are we in an age of zero-sum thinking? I've been mulling this piece for a while, maybe since childhood. Where have you seen zero-sum thinking in your life? And how are you managing its impacts? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/w...

Health officials downplayed COVID risk by overemphasizing "underlying health conditions," leading many to drop their guard.
Most people have "underlying health conditions." Anyone can be vulnerable. Everyone should take precautions.
