People will end up with sore necks (cervical strain) doing that and the women will end up with flat boobs as well. Repetitive jobs like these should be taken over by robots, ideally.

A top which is a bit more classy and renaissance inspired. No tracksuits or logos. Just here for a bit of fun fellow citizens. #Luci #FionaOByrne #LesterPrize #FineArt #Portraiture #Australia #NoNazis #NoAdvertising

This is a replica oil painting portrait composed by Fiona O'Byrne of her daughter Luci with fair skin and dark brown hair pinned back, sitting cross-legged on a rustic wooden stool. She is seated facing forward, looking directly at the viewer with a calm, neutral expression. Her legs are crossed tightly beneath her, and one bare foot is visible resting on the edge of the stool. Her hands are gently clasped and draped over her crossed leg. She wears a renaissance-style bodice or blouse. It features a dark burgundy, velvet-like structured vest over a brown, pleated center panel. The sleeves are long, billowy, and made of a sheer, translucent brown fabric gathered at the wrists. She is wearing modern, loose-fitting blue jeans that contrast with the classical style of her top.

Art is always subjective but could the artist have done better in regard to what the sitter was wearing? The Richard Lester Prize for Portraiture is to promote Australian art and Australians. I find the German Adidas logo out of place. The founders of that company btw were members of the Nazi Party.

Terrible what happened to her. It should be mandatory that all food service businesses have adrenaline auto-injectors (eg. epipens) available. If you have a known food allergy always carry with you an epipen.

The poster is a bright, colour-coded medical first-aid infographic about anaphylaxis, designed to make the emergency response easy to recognise and follow quickly, with information on how to use an adrenaline autoinjector.

Trans people have always existed. It's not a "trend setting" thing to do. No-one is forced into being trans. It is not a religion or ideology.

The ending felt very rushed. Eldrad and co. having reached Kastria, utters a few words with a holograph of King Rokon and then is "killed" off by tripping over a scarf and into a chasm that just happened to be outside the exit of the Outer Dome? They could have done so much more with this story arc.

Hitchcock always had a problem with women so it's no surprise. His films usually have male control over desired female identity, women being punished for transgressing sexual behaviour, and voyeurism.

De-Anne Kelly on gambling, from 2001 Hansard: "Addicted gamblers in Australia do not need another opportunity to have their houses sold out from under them... We like to ensure that those who are vulnerable and susceptible are not able to gamble their home away while they are still in it." 🤔

And an appearance by Catherine Schell as Countess Scarlioni. It's a shame ITC never gave her the Maya spinoff series which was being rumoured when Space 1999 was coming to an end.

Publicity still of Maya, portrayed by Hungarian-born British actress Catherine Schell. She is a shape-shifting alien metamorf from the planet Psychon, and the daughter of the chief scientist Mentor (Brian Blessed), who joined the human crew on Moonbase Alpha. Space:1999 (c) 1976, ITV plc.

The logic she is using is deeply contradictory. It is as an attempt to have it both ways, but ultimately, the women who genuinely need access to these shelters are the ones who are left without adequate support. That's what matters. Trans women do experience high rates of rape, abuse and violence.

The madness of Victoria. A public holiday for the AFL Grand Final, for two teams that are not based in Victoria. Meanwhile businesses are forced to pay holiday penalty rates, some choosing instead to remain closed on the day because of the cost. Not good for tourists or the economy.

The Bible also says that: "A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve." (1 Timothy 2) If she wants to take the Bible literally, Janet should stay quiet.
