Okay apologies for hopping on tag trending train but I have an important request.

If you don't know about the history of Aboriginal genocide in Australia, watch this program.

sbs.com.au

The Australian Wars

Rachel Perkins journeys across the country to explore the bloody battles fought on Australian soil and the war that established the Australi

It's a very very hard watch but one that is important.

If you're outside of Australia, make sure to set your VPN to Aus. You may also need to set an acount for SBS but it's free viewing.

I would also recomend most of SBS's docos through NITV, as they're the National Indigenous broadcast station.

A little update on the warnings before I forget. I'm a little pressed for time so this is from my DM's with someone I've shared with.

I just wanted to give a heads up that the show contains footage of a mourning ceremony (with the grievers's permission from what I remember). There is also a segment where stolen remains are returned to their families but there is no appearence of the remains themselves on screen. From what I can tell/remember these scenes are treated with care and gravitas but I don't think I can be the one to say whether they were treated appropriately. Anything on colonialism is a hard watch, but this doco particularly follows on the unglamourised brutality of the frontier wars as well the lack of recognition on the wars from the Australian government/military and from the wider Australian public. That's on me for not disclosing that properly in the post.

Diet culture really rots your brain. I can’t stomach eating anything in the morning. Can’t do it. I discussed this with my doctor- I said “well I guess I could have a yoghurt or something healthy” and I mentioned that I had a hot chocolate in the morning as a treat.

She said “yes! Do that! Every morning”

I thought hot chocolate = bad. Not having breakfast was Healthier than having a hot chocolate. But my GP said- no, it’s better to have something, anything. And something with sugar and fat in it will actually be better for me than simply having nothing so if a hot chocolate works for me- keep doing it!

How much guilt have I wasted on something that was doing me good because of stupid diet culture?
