We headed to Parramatta to see “Animal” as part of the Sydney Festival. It was incredible! Live music, dance, humour, and gasp-inducing stunts. So good!! 🎪 🚜 🐔

I was on the global board of Women at Amazon for 3 years. I met hundreds of folks working tirelessly on inclusive programs across multiple affinity groups around the world, top of their day jobs for no extra pay. And now this? This is disgusting, a slap in the face to all those Amazonians, and Andy Jassy should be ashamed.
It was another beautiful sunny day at Bondi! I had another volunteer shift at The Whale, helping hundreds of beachgoers have fun with this amazing puppet installation. Thanks to fellow volunteer Christy for joining me, as well as Waverley Council folks and the talented team from Spare Parts. 🐳

The Whale (again)
The forecast was for storms but thankfully it was another beautiful sunny day at Bondi Beach!

My second volunteering shift for the Sydney Festival was at tonight’s performance of “Air Time.” Rodd, Cecily, and I welcomed guests for an hour of parkour, BMX, skateboarding, and dance! 🛼🛹🚲

Okay, this is getting fun now! I’m sure I’ll be cursing when it comes time to weave in all those ends though. 🧶

Textile protest
Threads of Resistance: “Knitting and embroidery are laden with stereotypes of domestic femininity – and the subversive potential for protest.”
Wonderful essay by Gemma McKenzie showcasing ways textile art has been used as a tool of protest by women. I was especially blown away by the embroidered scrolls of Lorina Bulwer – WOW. The rage!

This Guardian article on the prevalence of flaking out on plans includes a quote that really spoke to me:
“Increasingly with gen Z and millennials there is a fetishisation of introversion,” said Andrew, 23, from Brisbane who works in telecoms sales. “Web comics and memes make a moral comparison to extroverts, who are supposedly loud, obnoxious people. Introverts are [depicted as] moral people who own cats and crochet. But our generation is also experiencing record high loneliness, so I think we shouldn’t praise choosing loneliness or celebrate [extreme levels of] introversion.”
YES. As an ambivert, I’ve noticed this tendency online for a while now, and it annoys the crap out of me. Choosing to be at home alone is not more virtuous than enjoying the company of others. There’s nothing wrong with it, but introverts always seem to imply they’re better people for it. “Fetishisation” is a good word.
Congrats and to many more 🙌🏽
