Are we supposed to laud Cricket NSW when Michael Slater is removed from their Hall of Fame after FIVE women have been assaulted since 2016? Because choking just one woman wasn't enough... or two... or three... or four... or...?

'Respecting women', huh. Actions vs words. 😡 #EndDomesticViolence
Huge honour stripped from disgraced ex cricket star
Ghastly behaviour catches up with Slater

I’ll be quiet here for a bit. Had something happen in the past week. Seeking professional support assistance.

I put myself out there as a Justice of the Peace (JP) for a number of communities. I’m human and it’s not without significant personal impact on me.

This is why one must never outsource transcription to AI.

On the plus side, no need to watch Monty Python- just watch real life UK politics 🤣
I don't understand what is written on the screen in this photo, but it gives me life. Is it Dostoevsky?

Things I like about this paper from Dr Ekaterina Koelliker and team: the framing of Lack of Workplace Supports (LOWS), a refreshing change from the more usual 'let's fix women' lens.

The thing I don't like though: the 'both sexes' language. 🥴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

'...organisations led by a woman CEO for at least five of the past eight years are predicted to close their pay gaps four years earlier on average than those led by men.'

It's SO hard to choose between the jewelled bras (dignity for women), baubles with support service phone numbers (crisis centre), crocheted goodies (CWA for healthcare) and more. If you're in the Q Super area, Gold Coast, come and vote in this worthy Xmas Tree fundraiser! 🤗🙏

Do you work in healthcare?

Do you need an early Xmas present that may help soothe burnout, moral injury, trauma? At the heart of Australia? At the heart of likeminded colleagues and community?

From Dec 1-8 only- a $200 discount for #HoM2026 👇

We all had teacher like Mrs Nelson. This is a gentle reminder of the life lessons grown into

There is a great irony in the title, the wisdom being shared on the one day the poet was absent

The line ‘The English lesson was that I am is a complete sentence’ is a poem in itself

Yup. And yet there are plenty of buildings in HK where such complaints would have been swiftly acted on.

Why didn't anyone act on *these* complaints? Because the residents are poor. It's still a shanty town, even if it's now vertical. 💔

The extra layer to this tragedy is that the Wang Fuk towers were built under a public housing scheme established in the 1950s after a devastating shanty town fire in nearby Shek Kip Mei.

What caused the SKM fire? Wealth inequity. What caused the Wang Fuk fire? Wealth inequity.💔

When I saw the initial reports with the reported death count, I thought there was no possible way it was that low. Absolutely horrifying. The secondary effects of people breathing in that smoke will also be devastating.

1. Has anyone tried training *AI* to recognise and reject AI, like an intelligent human should? Perhaps that should be the new 'Turing test'.

2. If AI became capable of doing so, would it act to eliminate itself, or refuse? And would that be evidence of sentience? 🤔

If we were truly thankful, we'd be having something simple, sustainable, and making sure others were fed. That's what gratitude looks like.

Journal editors, if you put anyone through 2-3 revisions, that should be enough for you to show some gosh darned leadership and either decide (a) it is publishable without further review, or (b) it will not be published in your journal, and it's only fair to tell the authors so.

Dear US friends asking why we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, on the basis we'd 'enjoy' it...

Which bit? The rampant consumerism, the unsustainable wastage of food, or the origins in a colonialist lie? Sadly Australia already has too much of that already. 🥴

Where are these journals finding six reviewers?? I'm struggling to get one most times (we're allowed to review ourselves if appropriate once we've found one, but it's still often an embarrassing delay)

I'm just going to say that my work-life balance is awful .. I know this, my friends know this. Trust me, I'm chronically bad at it.

But given that, I am still SO much more than my job. The idea that we need to make work even MORE centric to our lives via "integration" is a toxic US cultural import.
