In an intimate, ghostly macro portrait titled Who Weeps for Me?, photographer Alan D. Newton captures a moment of unbearable, quiet grief suspended between the mortal world and the spirit realm, drawing directly upon the ancient, exalted theatrical traditions of Japanese Noh (Nōgaku),.

"Joel" sent this vid of farm workers harvesting tomatoes in Gilroy CA. They earn 93¢/25lb bucket. Pickers carry two buckets as that allows them to work quicker. Walking over the uneven terrain with this heavy weight puts a lot of strain on their body. #WeFeedYou

I don’t think Love to Hate You is some hard-hitting feminist masterpiece, but for a rom-com I thought it did a really good job. It brings up issues around sexism, double standards, sexuality and gender expectations without becoming preachy or trite. www.netflix.com/us/title/814...

For an attorney who despises losing to men and an A-list actor who distrusts women, love means nothing — until they're forced to date each other.

Around 21% of Australians live with disability. Yet only a tiny fraction of federal parliamentarians openly identify as disabled. We have a Parliament making decisions about disability support that is profoundly unrepresentative of the people those decisions affect. #ndis #disability
