I’d love 10 hours, 100 minutes and 100 seconds in a day – scientists would love it. But could people cope with such a fundamental change to everyone’s (in the world!) lives?

Tired of seeing the millionaires, billionaires and entitled, the greedy and the grasping, getting positions of power. They regard us as merely as workers or profit makers, or a rubble to be strictly controlled.

What we should be doing for our future is important.

If there are thousands of birds always flying about and trying to eat your chips, then how come we never see thousands of dead birds? They don’t have terribly long lives and, in the inner city at least, there aren’t many predators, so where do they all go?

Australia has had several significant waves of migration (eg. Greeks, Vietnamese, Africans). Each wave coincides with which group mainstream Australia directs it’s vitriol, fear mongering and racism. But the targeting of Islam has been particularly intense.

This matters to me as a daughter of migrant parents, and a mother of bi-racial kids, who simply wants them to grow up in a world free of racial and religious judgement.

I feel like environmental issues are so easily shut down as being unimportant, for “hippies” or are important but only as they don’t come at the expense of the economy. With so much evidence suggesting if we don’t do something, major disastrous circumstances will result. Are people living in denial? Do they believe this is just another unfounded, doomsday prophesy? And how will sustainable development ever occur if we can’t even get people on-board supporting this issue.

It is about the future of ours and generations after.

The current political system is under pressure around the world. High levels of community distrust, eroding of 2 party systems & decreasing membership, rise of extreme groups, loss of national sovereignty, impact of global corporations.

Suppression of information is a means of maintaining power structures. Society prefers to pretend we all conform to an imagined standard rather than accept its own diverse nature.

I am asking because we are becoming more convergent at the same time we are becoming more divergent. We have the power to build and destroy each other and ourselves. I want to know what we are doing today to ensure humanity exists for future generations at the same time the earth is changing/evolving.

I am sick and tired of feminism being a dirty word! I want to believe that the only reason anyone would choose to deny that they were a feminist would be due to a misunderstanding about what the world means. Perhaps there are other reasons why people are reluctant to take this label for themselves…

I’m not a great speller and the rules I find intriguing!
