I need other realities...

PASSING THOUGHT: Still in 'numb shock' mainly re Vic case numbers today+news of a tornado in western NSW. The penguin detour helped, but still rattled.
It's time for other realities.

tornado central west NSW?...

More Warnings are current and more storms are currently occurring across numerous areas, so people need to check their local areas as the situation is volatile - https://t.co/TuUvVlct6e

I won't sugar-coat it, today's numbers were hard.

This clearly isn't where we want to be - it's obvious this virus is moving fast, and we're racing against it's spread to protect our state.

It’s nothing to do with the the grand final that was only 5 days ago this is all about the protests. The fact so many people broke the rules gf day will happen next week

Says a shift in the profile of cases. 55 per cent of the cases today are men. Many in 20s, 30s and 40s, more than before. 6/10 cases from new households. Cases have jumped from known household cases to fresh territory and homes.

VIC's Jeroen Weimar says 500 of today's 1438 cases link back to people having parties or visitors for the AFL grand final weekend

surely ringing alarm bells in NSW and QLD for the NRL grand final this weekend

The School That Tried To End Racism...

ABC iView's 2 episodes of 'The School That Tried To End Racism' = incredible programme. The Grade 6 students involved were engaged in the issue of racism and so many shared their 'broken' experiences. Loved the 'affinity' groups to open dialogue. All age groups should watch this. pic.twitter.com/YsomB7aln0

construction workers' world map...

Any palette is an opportunity for art...
It appears, from a Google search, that these are Turkish construction workers...But where exactly?
Interesting that Africa through to Europe is 'missing a seamless, vertical line of bricks'... https://t.co/aSxbMFtWf3
