#National #Sorry #Day is an annual event in Australia that takes place on #26 #May. It serves as a solemn occasion to remember and acknowledge the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were forcibly separated from their families and communities during the 20th century. These individuals, collectively known as The Stolen Generations, endured the trauma of being taken away from their loved ones in an attempt to assimilate them into white Australian culture. The first National Sorry Day was held on 26 May 1998, one year after the release of the Bringing Them Home report. This report resulted from a government inquiry into the past policies that led to the removal of children from their families and communities. Since then, National Sorry Day has become a day to acknowledge the strength of Stolen Generations Survivors and reflect on how we can all contribute to the healing process for our people and nation. Despite progress, the challenges persist. Even today, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are still 10.6 times more likely than non-Indigenous children to be removed from their families. Recognizing the truth of our history is essential for addressing the ongoing intergenerational trauma faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and communities. Sorry Day reminds us of this truth and calls for continued efforts toward healing and reconciliation. Additionally, on 26 May 2017, the Uluru Statement from the Heart was delivered at the conclusion of the 2017 First Nations National Constitutional Convention at Uluru. This consensus document on constitutional recognition was developed by a council of Indigenous and non-Indigenous community leaders, emphasizing the importance of constitutional reform and recognition for First Nations peoples. The journey continues, and National Sorry Day remains a significant date in Australia's history, prompting reflection, empathy, and action. 🌿🖤💛❤️ (1) National Sorry Day - Reconciliation Australia. https://lnkd.in/g6jNty4X.

We hold them in our hearts. #September11th 23 years ago today, our nation witnessed unimaginable acts of violence. We remember the innocent lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroes who ran toward danger. May their memory be a lasting reminder of the strength that unites us in the face of darkness. ️ #NeverForget #PatriotDay #AvantiWealthManagement #AvantiWealth

LinkedIn tends to be a pretty gentle and sanitised place where we use nice words, even when the world is burning. Truly, fuck that. Violence against womxn and children should make everyone angry enough to use angry fucking words. Enough empty, gentle words, enough placating. Enough death. Prevention isn’t as hard as our leaders pretend it to be, nor should there be a higher priority. While womxn and children everywhere suffer, and pencil pushers ponder sweet advocacy campaigns from ivory towers, perhaps should angrily take to the streets, withdraw all unpaid womxn’s labour and watch this whole neoliberal, capitalist hellhole crumble?? Maybe then law makers would pay attention and begin to take seriously the fact that our lives matter. Until leaders take notice, it’s up to us. If you think family violence isn’t happening to your friends and family, you’re wrong. Ask questions. Take notice. Act in any way you’re safe and able to.

This image will always give me chills. What about you? It’s what we call an iconic image.   An iconic image often has global or political implications. They affect our emotions because we immediately recognize something powerful or historic in the image. Think of pictures like those marking a day in history, worldwide events, or famous people.   Iconic photos don’t have to be of recognizable subjects, though. There are iconic wedding photos, event shots, and even family portraits. What makes it iconic is that it evokes powerful feelings from its intended audience.   Photographers are always hoping to capture something iconic. We keep our heads on a swivel so that we are constantly aware of our surroundings, the people and other subjects, the mood, the lighting, and all the other elements that contribute to our photos. We are constantly calculating and watching for everything to align perfectly in our lens.   This is generally called “composition.” The way we compose a photo has to become instinctive for a photographer. We can only learn to do it through time and experience, and of course, a lot of trial and error. We notice where things will be in the frame. We can tell the difference between two nearly identical facial expressions. We see how a background will impact the foreground. And we have an eye on more details at once than anyone can imagine.   When we nail it, it’s amazing. You can tell you’re looking at an iconic photo if you just can’t pull your eyes away from it, or if you feel an emotional reaction to it. Every once in a while, this type of photo happens spontaneously. But most of the time, it happens because a hard-working photographer applied their years of experience to make it work.   What’s your most iconic photo?

The term “Hottentots” is considered rude to the Khoikhoi people of South Africa. Accept and Embrace - The United States Army is cutting the force by 24,000 spots as recruiting continues to suffer.
