Every photo of video of ‘kids being kids’ has, invisible behind it, broader socioeconomic privilege, and a whole lot of (usually female) adult labour.

Behind this photo are many carers (to change kids out of wet clothes) and parent(a) with time to run the washing machine daily.

Why, in Melbourne, is petrol (U91) $1.79 at some petrol stations tonight, and $2.31 at others?

That’s a huge difference…

If any Australian government believes they were elected with a mandate to ‘protect our borders’ then they will do exactly that.

Let’s be clear: this is not just them, this is all of us.

This is the ‘real stuff’.

No one - not one patient - is ‘anatomy’ or ‘physiology’. All patients are people, and all diagnostics and care must be contextualised and individualised.

This is why subjects that teach this re the most important.

A representative quote from Chris, who is very understated and not at all prone to hyperbole. This is the reality.

I met the brilliant Kristine Ziwica at the kinder gate in 2014. Our second kids graduated primary school together tonight.

Every woman deserves a fellow feminist at the school gate. If you find one, hold her close.

Feels like a good time to observe that 💥Dr💥 Julia Baird and Ellen Fanning:Journo are two of the very best in the business. Curious, cut-through and collegiate hosts of a show that strove to platform conversation over spectacle, shrillness and superficiality.

Some personal reflections on the night before returning home. Part of me will remain forever behind.

I will never recover from this student email.

Another day on planet earth.

This from someone who is, as far as I can tell, a fellow doctor.

Most women around 50 probably still have teenage kids, parents who need help, a job, a mortgage and perhaps a male partner who doesn’t do his share of the mental/practical work, but sure, it’s all down to her hormones 🙃

Overheard in the supermarket (guy on phone)

“So today when I opened up my internet banking and [indistinct words] $550,000, so now [indistinct] you see why I just don’t care anymore.”

So now I just want to know if he gained or lost $550k.

My thanks and hopes. Sending love and courage from Palestine.
