Week 44 Edition 28
Went to a march for asylum seekers
Centred upon doctors who don’t support the detention centres, but supported by many non-health professionals who also don’t support the detention centres. I would estimate about 3,000-4,000 people attended the march.
New Finity Teams
Finity’s work teams have changed around. We have a new team and also the teams changed their names. Our team is the G.O.A.T.s, “the Greatest Of All Time”.
Melbourne Cup Day
Did anyone see the protests in Fed Square? I only saw pictures.
Giving Festival
I’m thinking about ways to get people to donate collectively, so that it becomes a reflective thing and a social thing.
What I’ve been Reading/Hearing/Watching
- Just do a thing nobody’s expecting – Malcolm Ocean writes about how to be more self-directed and do more interesting things.
- Almond Milk Paradise by milo (song) – Cool song
- LSE lectures about economic mobility (podcast) – An economist explores his research about how places and policies affect people’s ability to be change their wealth over their life. Interesting ways to analyse the data. Comes in three parts: The Geography of Intergenerational Mobility, Policies to Improve Upward Mobility, Upward Mobility, Innovation and Economic Growth.
