I loved that #DavidStratton showed the viewers how people could have a conversation and still disagree without:
-Silence
-Walking off in a huff
-Distancing
-Unfriending
-Bad mouthing the person (he talked about the idea & what happened in the film & style, not derogatory personal attacks)

2. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Police shoot and kill man strangling sister in Yarra Junction Police in Yarra Junction were forced to shoot a man who was violently assaulting his sister on Wednesday night after multiple taser rounds failed to subdue him. The 48-year-old woman was airlifted to ...

Terrible story, unfortunately. Clear cut example of why definitions are so important:

“The man was known to police due to a history of #MentalHealth

No HEALTHY person attacks ppl with sword!

Trained professional ppl, please speak correctly. Say #MentalIllness instead

Condolences to family

Melbourne Museum, Attraction, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Touch and feel your way through local history; give Phar Lap a nod, explore a rainforest, rest in a rollercoaster car, and discover Koori heritage.

Personal development, social skills development & human relations lessons were on display yesterday at #MelbourneMuseum amidst poor behaviour from one school to another.

Stay strong #MtScopus community.

I tried to see Justine Clark in #Julia today.

#MTC “we are a cashless venue”
I had the cash, but the bank balance was low.

Reminds me of our first female Prime Minister forcing single mothers onto #newstart

A leading experienced & knowledgeable Forest Scientist was stalked in-person and on Good Reads by Mark Poynter, a logger, and then by “Reader” who looked similar to Mark.

See reviews of #TheForestWars by #DavidLindenmayer on GoodReads for another example

Re-name to “book loan room”

No #Librarian at coal face means students have no-win. Reminds me of #Healesville Public Library Au

However Council Staff might have some wins by having “redeployed” or “promoted” librarians embedded on teams

#Librarians have unique skills to share

A key factor is “who might be responsible for tackling it”. Notice how silence and disconnection are modelled and normalised. Community being groomed to ignore. This ‘de-escalation’ backfires by creating taboos. Little gets solved. Mis & Dis perpetuates.

I prefer sensible engagement by ALL
