How ironic I am literally compiling my own letter to S/T & CW Mins about our lived experience, which mirrors this. My sister & I are frayed, grieving, guilt ridden. It's an absolute clusterfuck 😩😢 #Auspol 'Care system' is an oxymoron 💔
This is a gigantic policy boil that at some point is going to explode. A lot of Labor people are affected & talking about it. 👇

Dolly Parton, 1946–2026
Behind the rhinestones and under the towering wigs was a singular artist and businesswoman who owned her talent, her music, and her place in American life.

It's honestly so crazy to me that we're facing a technological revolution that could displace millions of jobs in the middle of a housing affordability crisis and every day we talk about whether a trans woman is playing sports or if someone has a non-Anglo name.

Disgraced sports stars Ben Cousins and Scott Miller are on a media tour, pledging to ‘pay back’ society. One question the media isn't asking: who is paying them?
Ette Media can reveal the organisation they’re collaborating with is charging more than $10,000 for a half-day session – a detail all media outlets left out.

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey has been criticised for simplifying its complex characters – particularly women. We asked an expert to fill some of the film’s gaps.
In Homer’s epic, a bold princess helps Odysseus home – but not in Nolan’s film. Who is Nausicaa?
