My husband, web person extraordinaire, has made me a blog. I will be moving over there, and hopefully actually posting regularly and general stuff will happen.

Things I liked in September
September is all of the assignments but also I managed a few other things.
I finally finished listening to John Krakauer's book Missoula. He is an investigative journalist and wrote the book about his research into the sexual assaults that happened at the University of Montana. Hard going but important. I think listening to the audiobook made it more intense, especially the parts that were statements made by the victims. But given this is a serious and ongoing issue around the world it's worth reading. What really struck me was the way law enforcement acted. That was very hard to hear.
This video by Hank Green about outrage was very interesting. I'm not sure I completely agree on everything but it was very thought provoking. He raises some important points.
My sister sent me this comic. It's great.
I am completely in love with Halsey's album Badlands
As always Australian politics are awful and the world is upsetting. One organisation I think is important to support is RISE, which is run by refugees and ex-detainees so is really I think the best placed to determined how the conversation should go and what action should be taken.
