Reflection … This week marks National Reconciliation Week, and began with National Sorry Day - a time to reflect on the truth of our shared history, and the pain still carried by many Aboriginal families.

Until we honour the history that First Nations people carry, we’re not truly sharing this land - we’re just standing on it.

Today is National Sorry Day, which marks the start of Reconciliation Week.

It’s a time to remember the harm caused to the Stolen Generations, one of the darkest chapters in Australia’s history.

18-year-old Emily-May Stephenson contracted COVID in August 2021, which led to long COVID, ME/CFS, and POTS. As a result, she struggled with basic tasks like climbing stairs, couldn’t engage in her hobbies, and saw her career end before it began.

I'm 18 and bed bound with long Covid. This is what it's like to be held hostage by your own body.

Covid left Emily-May unable to work. She has turned to photography and sharing her story with others.

Australia: "Scourge of coronavirus is still killing the vulnerable."

"20 more Australians are dying each day than before the pandemic due to Covid. It sits 5 times higher than the annual road toll, and 10 times higher than seasonal flu deaths."

Scourge of coronavirus is still killing the vulnerable.

Research shows undiagnosed Covid cases and the long-term health impacts of the pandemic have driven an enduring decline of life expectancy.

"What we are now experiencing, especially in the United States, is a rejection of the belief in abundance and cooperation. It is an uprising against the premise that many groups can gain at once — a cynical, contagious us-or-them attitude, spreading across countries, communities and families"

great piece. what are we losing with a win-or-lose approach?

Sometimes history is defined by a way of looking at the world. Are we in an age of zero-sum thinking? I've been mulling this piece for a while, maybe since childhood. Where have you seen zero-sum thinking in your life? And how are you managing its impacts? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/01/w...
