In many industries, DEI is not a ‘nice thing to have’ but a crucial requirement for survival and growth.
It would be nice if people could stop acting like DEI is an only a moral good.
DEI strengthens organizations. People from diverse backgrounds bring new ways of solving problems and serving people.
DEI isn’t a gift to diverse people. It’s a gift to the orgs that hire us.

In Indonesia, after human rights violator Prabowo was elected as president, I saw Ibu Maria Sumarsih, the activist who lost her son in the 1998 violence, simply continued with her weekly Kamisan protest. That’s also when I thought: this is not game over, this is game on.
Trump exiting from the Paris Agreement is a bad move for the world and for the United States.
But it’s not “game over” for climate.
It’s “game on!”
We must redouble our efforts and change our tactics to move forward with effective somutions.
Let’s go!

In Australia, news organisations and universities have retreated into their safe zones. Ones that have supported calls for social justice in the past became silent on Gaza. Ones that have profited from employing migrants and international education fell silent in the face of racism and xenophobia.
But compared to 2016, a popular front against Trump is much harder now. The nearly unanimous support for the genocide by liberal university administrators, politicians and newspaper editors has completely hollowed out any semblance of ethical integrity 5/19

Bishop Mariann Budde reminds me of the compassionate and courageous Muslim teachers I had when I was young who steered me away from the world of deep hate to one that is open, kind & loving. Trump is like the hateful Muslim ‘leaders’ who wanted to recruit me to their cause for their personal glory.

We’re getting a DNA test for this beautiful old dog, Nina Van Horn (15 years old). We have no clue about her mix. We know one highly possible breed but the rest is a mystery. Result will be available in 2 weeks. Does anyone want to play a game and guess her mix? Will post result when it’s done!

I just moved to a well-built concrete apartment building in Melbourne and guess what: in consecutive 40 degree days, no air conditioning was required. The apartment remained cool, around 25-30. This is in a north-facing apartment with floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors that get afternoon lights.

Good journalism is important but we often confuse the acts of publishing, storytelling and journalism. Journalism is not the same as publishing or storytelling. Most people have access to publish information. Many can tell stories convincingly. Neither requires journalism.

Sharing my little exchange from the other website. I've only just written it, and I don't have the space to deal with trolls today, so I'll log off. But it's so bloody annoying and hypocritical that people like Babet are asking others to be polite and quiet when it comes to accusations of racism.

Seems very odd someone can be found by a federal court to have acted in a racist manner, yet it remains "unparliamentary" to refer to them as a racist. Even more absurd when that somebody is the leader of far-right political party. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

I'm a board member of the Melbourne Press Club. Last year I was VP. This is to say: as a brown man, I know how to navigate the White spaces of Australian journalism. To an extent. I also know where the brick walls are, where Whiteness are maintained; and I also know where the good folks are.

Hello! Yes I’m now here but I’m also still on Twitter. I’ll be there until all the lights go out. Most of the warm gathering places there are gone but there are still some of us warming our hands on the embers of good memories, hiding under bridges while trolling some of the annoying people there.

This year, three of my journalism students in Australia separately pitched stories exploring ‘ethical stealing’ in a time when living costs are soaring so high that people are stealing from supermarkets that have been making so much profit.

❤️ my swirly son. Also his swirly back is from his gentle lazy beautiful golden retriever mum which is his temperament 90% of the time. The rest of him is an unknown energetic protective barky zoomy athletic farm dog dad which is him when he hears someone knocking on the door.

Many Australians are experiencing food insecurity for the 1st time. Meanwhile, corporate profits (including supermarkets’) are hitting record-highs. I’m not an economist but it’s clear a large amount of money has been shifted from workers to corporations. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...
Food insecurity is 'absolutely everywhere' in Australia. Most are feeling it for the first time
Foodbank Australia has highlighted a "food security crisis," after new data revealed a staggering increase in the number of people struggling to put food on the table.

Just had a nice lunch with extended members of my Australian family who hold various ideological persuasions. Just want to send out a warning to those preparing for Christmas gatherings: yes, be ready for your uncles aunties and cousins. They WANT TO and WILL talk about politics.
