@mrbenjaminlaw Can confirm it's terrifying. I used to shake like a leaf when I competed on beam as a kid. These Olympic girls are superhuman.

I was 14 y/o w/ a tibial stress fracture, left alone w/ no cervical spine exam after this fall. I competed in the Olympic floor final minutes later. @Simone_Biles 🤍 decision demonstrates that we have a say in our own health—“a say” I NEVER felt I had as an Olympian.

Completely obsessed with Sydney hotel quarantiner Dave Marriott.
Bringing to life the paper bags his food comes in.
He’s only halfway through his hotel stint and it’s already so good

Why are we not more outraged about the fact we are keeping human beings who have been found to be refugees in immigration prisons for more than 7 years right now with no end in sight?

"I keep hearing people saying 'camera person' when they could just use the perfectly good, gender-neutral word 'camerawoman'. My friend John is a male camerawoman and he's absolutely fine with it. I rest my case." Claire, CEO

The ABC costs us $879m a year.

Our military budget just went up by $2.3billion (to $38.7billion).

The ABC is just as crucial to the defence of our democracy than any piece of military hardware.

This isn't about money.
It's about ideology.

Men,

Don't say you have a mother, a sister, a daughter...

Say you have a father, a brother, a son who can do better.

We all can.
