I came across Mentor Walks for working women while looking up things to do in Hobart & it’s one of my fave events so far. It’s a ticketed walk in small groups, for some mentoring and fresh air. Held in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore & Canada. 10/10 reco for the vibe and wisdom

In less than two months, the Israeli bombardment of Gaza has killed more children than the number killed in global conflict zones every year since 2019; more UN workers than in any similar period, more journalists than in any period of conflict since 1992. amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

A daring winter rescue in Antarctica by healthcare staff from the Royal Hobart Hospital involving an icebreaker, helicopters and a brief window of decent weather! Such fun to work with a travel angle on a health story and I’m so impressed by the crew 🙌🏼 health.tas.gov.au/news/articles/…

Hobart, 6.30pm, Santa’s at the bar the week before Christmas.

Former philosophy professor Roop Rekha Verma, over 76 years of age, seen in this clip distributing pamphlets to promote communal harmony was one of the petitioners in the Bilkis Case. The idea of India survives because she still has daughters like her!

Perhaps the most telling line in this story: “Locals were also shocked by the act, as some of their representatives had even installed hoardings and banners congratulating the Hindu community for the Ram Mandir.”

“The Colour Purple” glosses over much of the pain and queerness in the novel, but those musical numbers are gorgeous on the big screen and the cast is excellent 💃🏿

Found out Tom McHugo’s is shutting down 💔 (this isn’t the end, they say)—if you’re in Hobart before June, definitely eat here (and get the lamb pie!) 😍

A peek into MONA’s library in Hobart. Fab books—and a viewing window to sessions in their recording studio! The mixing deck is from Abbey Road Studios, used on albums by the Beatles & Pink Floyd. This clip has the legendary Kutcha Edwards—more on him here amp.theguardian.com/music/2023/jun…

No one is defaming India more than Indian men. The burden of India’s culture of sexual violence lies with Indian men alone. Because Indian women are just tired. I write for ThePrintIndia theprint.in/opinion/im-an-…
