I can't read this article, because paywall, but I can read The Guardian, because not paywall, so who knows?

I'm sure I'm not the only person to post this, but it does seem relevant *right now*.
Picture of Tony Benn with a quote of his from 2005:
"Ask the powerful 5 questions:
What power have you got?
Where did you get it from?
In whose interests do you exercise it?
To whom are you accountable?
How can we get rid of you?
Only democracy gives us that right. That is why no-one with power likes democracy and that is why every generation must struggle to win it and keep it; including you and me, here and now."

I've treated myself (if that's the right word) to Mean Streak by @squigglyrick.bsky.social. It's so important we support journalism covering mendacious government schemes like Robodebt. And if we don't read and remember, they'll keep trying to do things like this, and one day succeed.

Dr Jenny Brockis talking about our wellbeing shows us the wheel of life. #GP24Perth (I'd like to add participating in arts (which maybe is part of fun and recreation maybe) and working towards something big - could be religion, health equity etc. Your bigger plan, what you are part of)

Never forget... It’s racism not race that causes poor health #GP24Perth
It's racism and not race that underpins inequities in physical and mental wellbeing

In need of some good news? This is Sartre. She's been missing all day. Normally she would be sat at my computer desk, taking part in Zoom calls. Turns out she was shut in the linen cupboard all day. #SmallWIns

Hello! I've been away from here for a bit - it's hard doing the day job and multiple social medias. However, I'm currently coming towards the end of 2 months travel on a Churchill Fellowship. I thought you might want to hear about some of my travels. Here's me wandering about all Churchill Fellowy!

Very pleased to be one of about 230 doctors working in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services to #VoteYes on Saturday. Why? Because we have practical experience of how services are improved when we listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. #VoteYes23
