In my first event out since my recent brain tumour surgery, Katie & I attended a fantastic Epilepsy Action Australia event put on in Sydney on Friday night. It was fabulous, educational, supportive & fundraising & included many brilliant speakers including Dr Kaitlyn Parratt (accompanied by her husband & fellow neurologist John). Kaitlyn has superbly led the management of my (tumour-related) epileptic seizures. It was really inspiring to also meet & hear from many passionate Australians about some of the challenges they face and the excellent work being done to improve diagnosis and management. We even also got to meet the superb entertainers, The Wiggles!

So the account Madre Swift Justice @JayStill4 copied this photo of mine and posted it without attribution. They have now blocked me. Very rude. It takes me a lot of time, effort and money to get these shots and I don't think it's much to ask to be acknowledged.
@marcuskelson So lucky to have a knowledgeable friend. I loathe car hunting. I’m so bad at it. This is probably why I drive my cars until their very last gasp.
Bloody hell #qantas !! This is the luggage of a friend of mine after one of your flights. Melbourne to Brisbane yesterday. Disgraceful. Wow. You have to make this right.
@nienna121 I once had a newborn fussing in a sling on my chest, a 2 year old in a stroller and a 3 year old throwing a tantrum on a supermarket floor when I saw security walking towards me. I thought he was going to throw me out. He offered to help and carried the baby while I shopped ❤️
@anarchautist I’m so sorry this happens to you. Everyone deserves dignity, empathy and compassion. Pensions should provide a universal basic wage. In a country like ours, local government should allow growing more food in public places - like fruit trees in parks. It shouldn’t be this hard.
