I've been a union leader and run several non-profits. I'm currently president of #ABC Friends, which advocates for Australia's national public broadcaster. I support #press freedom, protection for #whistleblowers, #human rights and #refugees.

I've signed up with my local council as an ambassador for the #Voice.

#Opera, #classical music, visual #art, #politics.

Support #Ukraine in this terrible war.

I knew Bronwyn in pre-school in Australia & we later caught up again as adults in our 20s and 30s, but we eventually lost touch after she moved to the States. I was thinking about her today as I was looking through some old photos & thought I'd try to track her down - your question came up in a Google search. I haven't found her yet, but FYI she had twin daughters, Madeleine and Sasha, & you might be able to find her through them.

If you succeed, can you let me know? Thanks, Cassandra Parkinson (I'm in Sydney, Australia). (I've followed you as well).

@AaronDodd

That's useful advice. I've been trying to figure out where to move to, not because I've been "moderated" but because there's a bunch of people I can't follow - aus social blocked a whole instance that included some excellent contributors. Just have to figure how to make the switch.

“I read a lot of Covid research. See my pinned tweet for the angle I view it from. I don't understand all the research, but here's what I do understand: Specialists representing every bodily function are completely freaked out by what SARS-CoV-2 is damaging in their area. 🔥👇”

I just read the first couple of chapters which I downloaded as a sample and I think Crace was very unfair (if I'd read the book first I wouldn't have written my comment). Overall I've been sympathetic to Harry & Megan - the reaction of most royal commentators tends to prove their point. The whole episode has highlighted what a crap system the monarchy is.

Gee that takes me back.

He read it so we don't have to. Funny but also an indication of something sad and pathetic.

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy Thoroughly agree. Labor's covid performance is deeply disappointing. Most of the media are complicit in failing to report the massive loss of life. And like the writer, I'm pissed off that I'm no longer covered by vaccines - my 4th shot was 8 months ago.
@the_rail_life Just wondering if it has wifi or charging facilities. Train travel is my favourite but I might need to do some careful planning if there's no wifi or 🔌 😉

You might be interested in this thread (from Twitter, sorry). I hope Lula's investigation uncovers the roles played by Bolsanaro and his supporters.
