Enough.

Enough of the abusive comments about Lisa Millar, and other female presenters.

And enough of amplifying the bullying by republishing offensive comments.

Do better.

So saddened to hear the passing of such a champion for First Nations people and all humanity. I will remember (Uncle) Archie Roach as such a courageous story teller and remarkable musician! You’ll never be forgotten. Rest in Peace. Sincerest condolences to all the family.

[Senator Lidia Thorpe @SenatorThorpe]

Uncle Archie, thank you for validating the trauma felt in our communities since colonisation. Your music brought us healing and peace. May our ancestors protect and guide you.

Aunty Ruby Hunter and Uncle Archie Roach celebrated + played at my 21st. So honoured.

Rest in power✊🏾

@DylanAlcott Morrison is on a roll. He's managed to piss off two Australians Of The Year in succession!

Woke up this morning feeling very blessed to be disabled - I reckon my parents are pretty happy about it too.

Feeling sorry for us and our families doesn’t help. Treating us equally, and giving us the choice and control over our own lives does

It's depressing to ruminate about the doors that closed yesterday. It's liberating to look for the doors that are open today.

You can't change who you've been. It's never too late to choose who you want to become.

Identity is a decision, not a destiny.

For most of human history, ignorance was inevitable. There were limited channels for information to spread.

As knowledge becomes more freely available, ignorance is increasingly a choice.

Opening your mind to evidence that challenges your opinions opens the door to learning.

Many parents try to protect their kids by teaching them that the world is a dangerous place.

6 studies: people who believe the world is generally good and safe have better mental health and more success.

Kids can learn to see most people as good and still guard against the bad.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The untold story of 2021: people became kinder.

Global rates of helping strangers, volunteering, and giving to charity are nearly 25% above pre-pandemic levels.

The dominant response to suffering is not selfishness. It's compassion. The worst of times bring out the best in us.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Big career decisions don’t come with a map, but all you need is a compass.

The right next move is the one that brings you a step closer to living your core values.

In an unpredictable world, you can’t make a master plan. You can only gauge whether you’re on a meaningful path.

One of the clearest signs of learning is rethinking your assumptions and revising your opinions.

@ToniHassan: "The design + delivery of housing + homelessness services must be more gender explicit. Conditions are...worse today for anyone on low income but the fastest growing group to experience homelessness in Australia is older single women."
