*CW: suggested nudity in images

First beach day of the season.

I felt guilty at first for not fighting today.

But I need these days if I'm going to continue fighting long term for the mass changes required in the world.

For the first time in weeks my mind was silent. I have rarely slept in the last three weeks and before that, it was pretty terrible too.

This relaxation day in nature, being nude, stripped of everything, with nothing but the sound of the ocean and other naked humans enjoying themselves, was exactly the void I needed to cleanse the senses and push forward on each of the five fronts I am passionate about (yes, there is much more I'm passionate about, but I only have so many spoons).

If you need a moment, take it. Getting burned out won't help anyone. Just make sure you come back to the fight. Every voice is needed.

Now, let's come together as a g*dd@mn community and get sh!t done!

"Thorpe signalled she will continue to argue against constitutional recognition and the Voice “advisory body with no power”, warning that there are “progressive nos” who oppose it “for good reason” …

"Asked if she planned to start a new political party or what structure her movement would take, Thorpe replied that “it’ll look like what the Blak Sovereign movement tell me that it looks like”.

"“There’s definitely quite a big movement of people … experts like [lawyer] Irene Watson from South Australia … academic Chelsea Watego, [writer] Ronnie Gorrie, Ted Wilkes, Nyungar from WA … it’s right across this country."
