“Just take it” Because might is right? Is this the basic belief that underpins the shows of respect for Russian, North Korean, Chinese leadership? The reason why Ukraine has been abandoned? Why sexual assaults were boasted about? You want it, you take it. 😳 Holy hell 😳😔 How did we get here?

So fortunate to be Australian. Medication collected for a family member today-only the Ozempic is government subsidised, the other prices are simply the cost for 30-200 tablets It blows my mind how much you pay in the USA. 1 AUD = 2/3 of USD

As a GP working since 1990, I can only marvel at the significant changes to cervical cancer screening and detection. From annual Pap smears to biannual and now 5 yearly CSTs and self collect for asymptomatic patients while case numbers plummet and deaths fall. Science, I salute you 😊

As a woman I fiercely believe in body autonomy. As a physician, there was nothing more scary in my training than watching a woman lose half her blood volume in what seemed like a moment as she bled out in front of me. Without the expert intervention of obstetric colleagues, we would have lost her.

From epic storms to stunning sunsets and fresh mornings-so much to love about my city. Good morning Brisbane 😊❤️
Sunlit wispy clouds highlighted in orange against the pale blue sky. At the bottom of the photo there is a dark outline of trees and the roof of a house. A fresh blue sky with some wispy white clouds above some green treesLooking at the Brisbane River from the Southbank ferry terminal. Brisbane River at a couple of bridges are in the full ground on the right, there are trees and pathways above the river on the left as well as the wheel of Brisbane (a Ferris wheel). The sky is cloudy and on the right is the arch of the Neville Bonner Bridge, highlighted in orange this evening. There had been a fierce thunderstorm and the air smelt sweet and everything was damp.

The universe captured in a 3 second exposure by my iPhone, no tripod. 8:59 pm, July 25,2025, Goondiwindi, Queensland, Australia I might have missed it, except I had to get out of the car to close the gate. How much do I miss by simply not looking?

Australia votes today in our federal election I am grateful for a stable democracy, for compulsory, preferential voting, for the ease with which this process unfolds for me & thankful for the invisible workers who work so hard to make it look so easy Anthony Green, thank you, you will be missed

An entire sea cannot sink a ship unless the water gets inside of the ship. The same with the negativity of the world: it can’t bring you down unless you let it get inside of you. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊
