productivity and existence...

NOTE TO SELF: 'You don't need to justify your existence in terms of productivity. Rest is an essential part of survival...'

promising morning skies...

I think maybe our timelines need some promising skies...

a bid for a reassurance speech...

ATTENTION: Last weekend, I suggested Australians sorely need a 'rallying', reassurance speech from federal leaders-maybe Penny Wong @SenatorWong. Many supported the idea. Now I am asking state leaders to step up. Daniel @DanielAndrewsMP - show how it's done? Mark @MarkMcGowanMP?

Here is a link to my earlier post we need a great speech... 

I know I may seem like some strange and unknown voice crying from the wilderness, but I have hope...I must try...Who knows...

resilient old street...

A colourful little street in the rain has a particular charm - enhanced by 'sans vehicles' + people clearly strolling - no pressurised haste.
The bonus is it's a street that has marched through time...lots of time...
May we all summon such beautiful resilience... https://t.co/E0BdUccMh5

space and freedom...

PASSING THOUGHT: Many feel that pandemic-fueled lockdowns spike our freedoms. Some feel that translates as 'no freedom'. But it's the perspective of 'our space' that's been clipped, not our freedom. Kabul's Taliban-threatened residents have no personal space. That's no freedom. https://t.co/jdwHmFCq2g

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...

— Gemma Wiseman - on Bunurong land, Kulin Nation (@AuraGem) August 15, 2021

I think we should start that trending.
