Heartbreaking and beautifully written piece by @AbbirDib

@bhakthi I'm so sorry, Bhakthi. Sending you all so much love.

We’re holding a memorial for my darling friend Kate today. I am completely bewildered by this day’s dawning, despite having helped plan the ceremony. How surreal it feels, how wrenching and awful and twisted.

@SashaKanthan @theage Thanks so much, Sasha

An informed and beautifully written piece on religious worship in Australia by @MeljCunningham. I just took out a paid subscription to @theage 📰

@subbie Love this, Anna. Beautiful.

Today I have a piece on ocean #swimming published. Nice timing! “There will always be threats, stingrays in these waters, and sharks further out, there will be tides and currents and rips.” But I’m out there and I’m afloat. 🌊💎🏊‍♀️ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

My grandma just left me a voice message. Figured she’d called to congratulate me on the phd. Nope. “I look at your daughter every day, god she’s gorgeous. How come you, a great big elephant, end up with a child like that?” 💀
