We'll see how long this lasts, but going to try to keep a thread of films watched and/or TV seasons finished in 2022.
Intergenerational Trauma: My humble two cent for First Nations Australians. Every year I hear Australians say “Why should I say sorry? I didn’t do anything!”, “If their culture is so good why did they adopt ours?” 1/13 ❤️ #HealingTrauma #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
or “Why do they drink so much and waste their money?” “That was so long ago! Why can’t they move on and get over it?” So, intergenerational trauma does not work that way. You don’t just get over Genocide. 2/13
Or school kids calling you the [James] “Cook Killer!” because the History Teacher taught it. No parents to cry to. You were taken away. Or going to Church listening to migrant children allowed to speak Italian or Japanese, yet strictly banned from speaking your language. 3/13
To me, a proud Gunnai and Monaro man, Jan 26 is a day that has always been filled with mixed emotions. As the rain cleansed the beginning of the day, I joined Elders, community leaders and the public for a dawn service #truthtelling #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe 🧵
At the dawn service, we reflected on the many injustices, the systemic failing to properly educate this nation about it’s true history, and a calling out of the massacres of Aboriginal people across Victoria #truthtelling
Today, I’m thinking of the people of the Eora Nation, who’s land was invaded on this day in 1788. I’m also thinking of my own Elders and Ancestors - and those right across this beautiful continent - who’s Culture, Country & way of life was shamefully disrupted from that day forth
NOW LIVE: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were some of the world's first astronomers.

It is undeniable that January 26th is a day tainted with dispossession and bloody violence for First Nations People. It is a an unescapably painful day for many #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
Since colonisation, First Nations peoples have been subjected to and targeted by the worst forms of oppression and discrimination. Our country still hasn’t recognised the consequences of that invasion and its ongoing effects and legacy on society and First Nations People.
Today, I’ll be standing in solidarity with First Nations People and joining the Invasion Day Protest, then heading over to the Yabun Festival. Find your nearest protest today at tellthetruth.org.au.

"What percentage Aboriginal are they?"
"Are there still any 100% Aboriginal people in Australia?"
As a former settler in Australia these are genuine questions I've gotten from people around the world.

"But they don't LOOK Aboriginal," people say. What's wrong with that?
...everything. Apart from nobody owing you an explanation about their identity (ever), here's why.

Genocide, rape and forced separation were used to 'stamp out the Aboriginality' in people by colonisers in Australia. They were used as a weapon to erase culture and history.
