I know what you mean. After years of moving cities, countries, offices, I do try to cull regularly, not always successfully.

imagine if Labor cabinet ministers & MPs had an ounce of the character & courage of Senator Fatima Payman—they could prevent harms, achieve positive changes or at the least represent their constituents instead of Big Business, miners, weapons corps, financiers, property developers, landlords etc
Senator Payman: "The more I’ve lived and worked in public life, the more I’ve come to realise that bravery isn’t about never feeling afraid. It’s about recognising fear for what it is and choosing to act anyway. It’s a choice open to us all, not just those whose names end up in the history books."
