One of the best lines about management I've ever heard.
"Some in management positions operate as if they are in a tree of monkeys. They make sure that everyone at the top of the tree looking down sees only smiles. But all too often, those at the bottom looking up see only asses."
- Simon Sinek

Today I observe and celebrate the Survival of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I celebrate my Survival as a proud member of the Bundjalung nation. I celebrate those who have aided me in my Survival, and those whom I can in turn aid.

I sense a great disturbance in the Force; as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror...
I've been pretty quiet on the writing front the last couple of years, with a few publications but little else achieved.
I plan to change that this year. And I'd like your help.
Keep me accountable. Check in. Offer support. Help me achieve big things this year.

Today I was asked, "what do you like about living in America?" and the only answer I could come up with was, "it's affordable." On reflection it strikes me that this is both sad and revealing in terms of what I think is most important at this point in time.
Just older. 52
It's still a useful word:
America is preparing for a recrudescence of its own making.

I made an interesting discovery when talking with some non-Indigenous Canadian colleagues who refer to themselves as being of "settler-descent". I asked them if the term was accepted by Indigenous peoples. Interestingly their response was generally, "I don't know."
Which version?
