Melbourne have you tried turning 2021 off and then on again

@nayefire Hi have you tried the local council jobs advocates? There is also an admin role currently advertised on their jobs page. Highly recommend working for local government! https://t.co/cm9sxbNHxz

@JenBrockie Great conversation starter thanks, was the most positive thread I’ve read between Victoria & NSW for a while 🤗

[Ruth Robles McColl @rutherobles]

@JenBrockie @PatsKarvelas The hardest part throughout the #viclockdown for me was feeling guilty about being ‘lucky’ (healthy, housed, employed etc.) and trying not to diminish how difficult things really feel, whilst acknowledging that others have it much tougher 🤯#sydneylockdown #InThisTogether

Strangely no national headlines about

HQ 'leaks' because there is no policy for a limo driver to be vaxxed
(SkyBus drivers in Vic are)

No outrage about police interview of a driver being blamed
(remember 'nebuliser guy'?)

Whatever. Go Sydney. We need them to succeed.

@JenBrockie I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭

For those struggling for whatever reason, if you get a chance put your hands in the dirt, toes in the water, face out in the breeze.

Connect. Breathe. Listen.

@JenBrockie @MarinaHyde Thanks for sharing Jenny, the article really resonates. Sadly though reading the replies has me reeling 😩🤬😢🤬

[💥Dr💥 Julia Baird @bairdjulia]

Why do so many of us still believe the myth women lie about rape, when in fact, they rarely report it? This is why Linda Reynold’s slur on Ms Higgins matters. My column for ⁦@smh⁩ ⁦@theage⁩ https://t.co/NJJPWgqqGT

@bairdjulia 1 2 3 ... 😢💔🤬

This 👇

Only being able to empathise with women's experiences of male violence from a paternalistic perspective is part of the problem.

Women are your equals to be respected, not your charges to be protected... that only reinforces male dominance as the norm.
