This clip was helpful to me. I’ve become pessimistic. I believe grief and the hardship of the last couple of years are factors. I want to find more prosocial examples to mix in with my worries.


This is something good to donate to this month: Ilbijerri Theatre Company are working on the problem of incarceration of youth.

“A First Peoples child is twenty-seven times more likely to be incarcerated than a non-Indigenous child. In some youth detention centres, almost every child inside is Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

For many communities, this is not an isolated failure of policy. It is the continuation of a system that removes children from family, culture and Country. A system many describe as a second Stolen Generation.”
