Gosh. Happy Segregation Day, my fellow segregated west Aussie. We got through and came out stronger, wiser, and determined to kick some butt 💛

With respect to Hopkins, I recall at the height of things someone (dirty unvaxed granny killer) in Melbourne? decided the appropriate demonstration of personal status was to wear a star of david in public. The act was immediately shouted down by a Jewish organization affirming its ownership of the symbol of pogrom. Right or wrong it did make me research again the '30s in Germany and the disturbing parallels. Or did i just dream it?

I remember seeing a few yellow stars at protests. I remember thinking they were asking for trouble with that!

I like you new look site.

Perhaps a bit of colour ( not all the colours next to each other), a bit of shading on the borders but no glitter please...and maybe some pictures of cute marsupials?

I like this concept :) as a summary post weekly or otherwise

Thanks! I liked writing it :) I guess I'll start by just sending them as often as my thoughts accumulate. Monthly or twice a month perhaps.

Thanks Rebekah. Always love your reporting — clear, thoughtful, honest, and direct with a little touch of humour to help avoid the dystopia-depression. And thanks for the little personal updates, which help us see that you battle the same emotional issues that we do, too. *hug*

I also like the new short form updates. Great for things that need a little more detail than a tweet but not a full article (that I’m sure can take many hours to produce).

Thanks for being a voice, for us who cannot write quite as beautifully. Thank you. Genuinely.

@Rebekah, Frank Chung is one of the saner MSM reporters, I think he was reporting on an "Experts" report that the ADF is very understaffed

I agree, I don't have a problem with Frank Chung, he does some great reporting. And I also appreciate that the ADF is understaffed, our defence force is paltry.
