My 5 y.o. daughter came bounding into my bedroom at about 5am this morning and said to me, "Good morning crumply person who always grumbles about everything." At that precise moment in time, a more accurate description was not possible in the English language.

As with so much in the athlete mental health literature, I'm curious what might be discovered if we explored analogous processes in music (e.g. is non-attachment to self helpful for musicians who operate in a context that pulls so strongly for attachment to image, identity etc?)

"It helps us understand diagnoses and reductionism as useful epistemological tools for describing the world, rather than ontological convictions about how the world is."

Cuts to more than one million subsidised sessions couldn't come at a worse time. Wait lists continue to break records across Australia. We must improve access to Medicare, not weaken it. We need to make the 20 subsidised sessions permanent. ow.ly/UaQu50LeVpU

If Fireman Sam was real life, young Norman Price would be in juvie, Pontypandy's emergency services call-outs would plummet, and the titular character and all his mates would be laid off. But I guess Rob Mac and his Canadian mate could buy the local football club.

Lately I've been thinking about how various works of art overlap with the ACT/psychological flexibility model. E.g., a Hiatus Kaiyote lyric, "I don't wanna be small, I wanna be full of life/We can weave all of this together and be alright"
