Some gross rape myths were aired this week after the Lehrmann decision. The good news is these myths are eroding. The bad news is, they are doing so very slowly – and this is not doing enough to prevent sexual assault. Now what?

May your memory be a blessing and your friends and family find comfort from the community around them.

The sensitivity and respect for those who have died, those who have experienced trauma, and for those grieving has been an important next stage.

Many in the community are asking how to donate to Bondi Junction victims or causes that support them: Westfield Bondi fundraisers (gofundme.com) Lifeline Bondi: lifelinebondi.raisely.com Headspace Bondi Junction: fundraising.headspace.org.au/.../fundraisin…... JNC: jnc.org.au/jnc-donations/

Somedays here when time WFH is short, I just jump straight to the trending topics curated for me.

Today will not be that day.

Blerk.

Heading out, back tomorrow.

Rafael Nadal says the most important thing for him was to play without taking any health risks, ‘This goes a little bit against my understanding of the sport, going to the limit at every opportunity… this is how I’ve been doing it all my life’

“I have played this tournament as
