These beautifully crafted balls, dating to around 1500 BC (from Egypt,18th Dynasty), were made from linen and decorated with vibrant red, blue, and green reed strips. They were likely used not only for play but also in rituals and acrobatic performances.

56 branches and the entire NSW Labor Left are calling for Premier Minn's controversial and draconian anti-protest laws to be scrapped.
#Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (6?) sniffs her hotdog suspiciously and asks: "Why is there mustard?"
Dad shrugs and says: "One of life's mysteries. Don't question it."
Small Human sniffs her hotdog again. "But WHY?"
A tiny human (2?) with a pugnacious expression is HAULING a doll's house out of a cafe's toy basket.
Roaring triumphantly when she FINALLY succeeds.
Hefting it above her head like a pigtailed wrestler brandishing a champion belt.
A little black dog (Scottish terrier) is solemnly watching his human (70s?) take her seat in a cafe.
Tail wagging optimistically, patiently waiting and then politely jumping onto her lap when he's given the go ahead.
Giving her a look of pure button-eyed adoration as she sips her coffee.
A sturdy little dog (Patterdale terrier) has been given the most important of jobs. She's to guard a tiny new human (weeks?) while the adults have a coffee.
Doing perimeter checks of the cafe table, before coming back to sniff Tiny New Human with a little tail wag.
All seems well!
Firm friends in the making.
A small human (4?) is VERY excited to see Grandad approaching in the markets.
Arms waving, expression pure happiness, he RACES up to Grandad, SKIDS to a halt and then with maximum solemnity holds out his hand for a very proper handshake.
Grandad thoroughly charmed.

I’m standing on the Sydney Harbour Bridge looking into empty rooms in the famous brutalist apartment building, the Sirius. Built as social housing, those people booted out and now between $1.6 and $35m per apartment. The ghosts of the dispossessed will haunt those rich bastards.

"We heard similar arguments before tobacco advertising was banned. We heard them before seatbelt laws, random breath testing and plain packaging. Powerful industries almost always argue that reform will go too far. History usually judges otherwise."

None of these children that I've treated this week will be the same children ever again. Severe brain injuries will affect them physically, will affect them socially, will affect them intellectually.
