Asylum seekers – the political ping pong of our time

Posted on May 18, 2016 by Sarah

I woke up this morning to find that Peter Dutton, our Minister for Immigration, had been on the campaign trail informing the good people of Australia that asylum seekers are illiterate and innumerate and would languish on the dole and take Australian jobs, thus justifying, poorly, the incarceration of these disenfranchised and displaced people of…

Dear Mr President, Barack Obama

Posted on March 13, 2016 by Sarah

I have watched in amazement, and with incredulous disbelief, the rise of that odious human being that is Donald Trump.  I have American friends who refer to him as “the one who shall not be named” for fear of giving him even more power than his narcissistic self demands or deserves. I have watched YouTube…

Bullying – a short story

Posted on September 15, 2014 by Sarah

  Master J refused to go to school yesterday. After one almighty melt down yesterday, and some pretty uncharacteristic behaviour, we managed to get out of him that a new boy had come to the school and decided that Master J would be the target of his new stomping ground. Master J has difficulty tying…

Why hero worship doesn’t work for me

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Sarah

I am a sensitive soul.  Anyone who knows me will tell you that, and I think it is obvious from what I write here. Sensitivity has many positives.  It makes us kind people – we are sensitive to others’ needs, sometimes more than most.  Sometimes. But it comes with its pitfalls.  Fear of rejection for…

Robin Williams has died and the world has gone mad

Posted on August 12, 2014 by Sarah

  I’m meant to be studying. As I try to focus on my readings about how language determines thought processes, how most things are a construct, that before the late 1800s there was no categories of a person being either heterosexual or homosexual, it was just deemed that as a person you had the propensity…

Why humans are not all that smart

Posted on August 9, 2014 by Sarah

For my next post, I wanted it to be really upbeat.  I am a deep thinker, somewhat prone to the melancholy, so I thought that the next time I write, I’m going to try to balance said melancholoy with a little bit of lightheartedness. Not going to happen. Not today anyway. I woke up feeling…

Lessons on teenage pregnancy and becoming a premature grandmother

Posted on July 6, 2014 by Sarah

I became a grandmother at the age of 44.  I hadn’t planned this.  And when it happened, I didn’t feel as much joy as one would have expected. My daughter was 19.  For a short while I was more concerned how her pregnancy would reflect on me.  I am not proud of this, but it…

An Open Letter To Tony Abbott

Posted on July 4, 2014 by Sarah

  Dear Tony, You don’t mind if I call you Tony do you? You and I need to talk. Seriously. What is going on? What is it that you are hoping to achieve by all these things that you keep doing and saying? I am genuinely curious to know. I am a fairly political person….

Action {A lesson in owning who you are and finding your tribe}

Posted on July 1, 2014 by Sarah

  On a recent episode of Graham Norton he interviewed the illustrious winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, Conchita Wurst.  Conchita is at first glance a conundrum – a drag queen who dresses like a woman yet wears a beard. Our minds look for patterns and we love to group things together.  We like to…
