With ers Without You

Hey Siri, are there less people believin’ these days because there are less midnight trains goin’ anywhere?

It’s been made aware to me that some of my social media broadcasts over the last year might paint me as some sort of person, politically etc.

Please do not look to me for epidemiological advice or policy. I am a hurting man who has lost much and continues to lose more.

I’m not the one to look for on whether borders should open or close, or if you should alter your DNA to survive a pandemic.

However, if you’d like specific advice on how to not look like you’re crying in public please DM me. It’s basically about pretending you were laughing instead.

Hey, do you remember that time our Australian state and federal governments drove us all so far apart to the point of madness and hatred of those we love and even strangers we’ve never met?

Pro-vax, anti-vax, pro-lockdown, anti-lockdown, everyone’s trying to join a team, but so few people are understanding the hurt that others are feeling. Whilst you might be annoyed by wearing a masking, or other people not-wearing a mask, all whilst your income, stability, and quality of life hasn’t changed in the last year, many have lost more than they’d care to mention, or even have the words to describe.

We don’t need to be right. No-one cares if you’re right.

We need to care, we need empathy, we need consideration and understanding.

Because in 300 years when we’re all dust, no-one’s going to be telling stories about how right you were. But they’ll speak about our legacy of empathy and care.
