Jeroen Weimar again...

I have been seeking hope today, and this tweet about Jeroen Weimar certainly helps...a lot...
This is beyond leadership...He is demonstrating the skills of being an empathetic mentor, a guiding light... https://t.co/480rGnGZiM

flow chart role model of tautology...

Brilliant role model of a form of tautology validating a form of platitude...or a form of platitude validating a form of tautology...whichever sparks your fancy...

I like the suggested hashtag of 'scomoisms'...I'll be running with that at any/every opportunity... 

Just discovered the hashtag #scomoisms. I'll definitely be running with #scomoisms in future posts...There should be quite a museum-worthy list evolving of #scomoisms...

I think we should start that trending.

smirking milk dregs...

PASSING THOUGHT: Not motivated to do supermarket shopping that should have been done yesterday. Trying to find+activate some hope beyond lockdown seems somehow more important. But the milk dregs are 'smirking' at me. The little left may not give me a morning coffee tomorrow. 🙄

Just love David Milner's 'turn of phrase'...Always nails the mood, the climate + kickstarts a smile... 

Anyone got any exciting plans for between this lockdown and the next one? I was thinking about going outside.

consumption and climate...

Amazing how long ago the warnings were already there...
Consumption and climate are uneasy bedfellows... https://t.co/QwESPscd1n

retired teacher issues...

I am close to being a 'retired teacher', but covid has thrown any plans into chaos. I must hang in there with a lighter load locked in place for next year. I feel so sorry for what is happening to you + hope I don't have the same issues. We try so hard to improve student lives...

The world cannot drink in enough of that light and beauty right now...

Somalia beach stones...

These stunning stones from Somalia's Madagascar beach could easily be inspiring works of art...
Ahem... They are inspiring works of art... https://t.co/HNa1UlfZ54

we need a great speech...

I'm breaking my political rule AGAIN...This thread's brilliant...
Great speeches bring hope.
They provide a light for others to walk towards.
Powerful words spoken at the right time, by the right person can change a nation’s thinking.
Australia needs that great speech RIGHT NOW🙏 https://t.co/elJaMwyAye

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 14, 2021

Perhaps Penny Wong @SenatorWong may step up and make that great speech we Australians need...so desperately...(even if we don't realise we need it)...
A speech from Penny would reach us...
we would listen quietly...
we would feel grateful...
we would remember...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 14, 2021

Penny @SenatorWong
... Already many are supporting my thought...in minutes...even if you post your rallying speech to us as a video on your timeline, that would help...
Of course, filmed in parliament house would be best...
PLEASE on behalf of all Australians...
We need you...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 14, 2021

To reach those who want more than 'words', @SenatorWong, perhaps propose a federal plan for quarantine...a grounded plan easily established by all states...Such a plan would diminish state divisiveness, bring us together...@DanielAndrewsMP

PLEASE give us hope...

labels match the model (PM)...

Seldom, if ever, do I retweet a politically-laden post. (Even if quietly I agree or support it).
But this one is different.
As a 'long-haul' citizen who has seen all these particular national leaders in action, I could not agree more.
The labels match the model - perfectly. https://t.co/YNhCOZPiOK
