Nothing more pragmatic than a trawler skipper watching his boat sink after evacuating his crew. What was going thru your mind, I ask? Answer: looks as though I’m out of a job, where will the money be coming from next week?

I couldn’t watch it due to it hugely triggering my own ptsd and being fresh out of ‘the friggen psych ward’ (in Dean’s words) but I’m so hopeful for industry change to take the mental health of their own seriously. And no, I have no shame because that would be hypocritical.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

"In an unprecedented move, the Vatican on Sunday beatified a Polish family of nine — a married couple and their small children — who were executed by the Nazis during World War II for sheltering Jews.

The Ulmas were killed at home by German Nazi troops and by Nazi-controlled local police in the small hours of March 24, 1944, together with the eight Jews they were hiding at their home, after they were apparently betrayed.

Jozef Ulma, 44, was a farmer, Catholic activist and amateur photographer who documented family and village life. He lived with his 31-year-old wife Wiktoria; their daughters Stanislawa, 7; Barbara, 6; Maria, 18 months; and sons Wladyslaw, 5; Franciszek, 3; and Antoni, 2.

With them were killed 70-year-old Saul Goldman with his sons Baruch, Mechel, Joachim and Mojzesz, along with Golda Grunfeld and her sister Lea Didner with her little daughter Reszla."

FIRE THREAT TO TENNANT CREEK🔥

@BushfiresNT says:

"The fire burning to the east of Tennant Creek has grown in size, crossing containment lines on the western side of the fire

"If the fire crosses the Gosse River, there will be a threat to the town of Tennant Creek"

So I won’t be attending BIGSOUND to moderate a panel on the challenges of regional touring bc ‘unfortunately flying me from regional NSW is out of the budget’. Hahaha I don’t doubt that it is, in fact I know that it is. But come on, that’s funny.
