Ariane's little world: Musings on Radical Inclusion
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2014/07/musings-on-radical-inclusion.html
Monday, July 14, 2014. Musings on Radical Inclusion. In October, I'm throwing myself way out of my comfort zone and going to Burning Seed. A week long festival that is the regional incarnation of the massive Burning Man. Festival in Nevada. This is not a festival that is created by organisers for the entertainment of participants, it is created by the participants themselves. There are ten principles which guide the festivals,. But it's the principle of radical inclusion that's got me pondering. This is ...

Ariane's little world: Marking the occasion
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2013/11/marking-occasion.html
Thursday, November 07, 2013. 16 years today, and I spent the night listening to 70s music. There wasn't a song I didn't recognise, and only a handful I didn't know the words to. I may have no musical talent, but my love for music has everything to do with you, Dad. There'll be tears before bedtime. November 08, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hi, how're you doing?

Ariane's little world: October 2012
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 10, 2012. We saw the best and worst of Julia Gillard and her government. Her 15 minute speech condemning the misogyny of Tony Abbott. Was amazing (transcript here). On the other hand, on the same day, the senate passed Labor's (and therefore Gillard's) changes to the single parent payment. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hi, how're you doing?

Ariane's little world: Cloaking device

Saturday, March 22, 2014. Cross posted at Hoyden About Town. Any number of authors and TV shows have utilised the human capacity to ignore what their brains tell them makes no sense, but this week I got to see that in action. Cisco Live! Formerly, and probably forever known as Networkers) had 4,400-odd delegates at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention centre. 400 of them were women, and I'm guessing exhibitor staff and press people were somewhat over-represented in that number.

Ariane's little world: Horrible People
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2014/01/horrible-people.html
Tuesday, January 14, 2014. I've been reading on the internet about Horrible People. It's good to know that there are so many people out there who have never screwed up (either genuinely, or perceived as such), hold no problematic views or ideas and always take public criticism with grace, remorse and eloquently expressed newfound understanding. Because otherwise, how would we know who to dismiss entirely as human beings? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Hi, how're you doing? View my complete profile.

Ariane's little world: January 2013
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 17, 2013. And shake my fist at the universe. Maybe also, it's because the kids are getting older. I don't need to be constantly alert to where they all are and what they're doing, so I have more brainspace for thoughts not entirely connected to keeping all the balls in the air. I'm not sure I've got the emotional reserves to keep this up though. It's not that I can't think of him or talk about him, it's that I can't miss. Dad, I'm missing you, and it hurts. Links to this post. She outli...

Ariane's little world: September 2013
http://shonias.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Living as the default. That article by Julian Burnside. Really triggered some light bulbs for me. Not so much the stuff about asylum seekers - that's no surprise - but the stuff about alienation and not feeling heard. But there are many people in our society who have, at least in their own minds, disappeared. . The more they complain, the more they are ignored; the more they are ignored, the louder they complain.
