I have been walking around lately with what political philosophers politely call moral fatigue and what the rest of us call being very tired of the world. The news cycle has turned cruelty into background noise. Violence arrives prepackaged with explanations, excuses, and comment sections that feel like social experiments we should have shut down […]
There are places on earth that feel like they exist to remind us that life can be gentle. Bondi Beach is one of them. Sun. Salt. Children running toward waves like the ocean personally invited them. It is not a place your brain files under “terror attack”. And yet, on a warm evening during a […]

Zimbabwe is going to the Rugby World Cup. I’ll give you a moment to let that sink in. No, not the cricket team. Not the netball queens. The rugby team. The Sables. The same national side that last graced the global stage in 1991 when shorts were shorter, mullets were longer, and our economy could […]
