Excited! It’s been 4 years since I’ve attended RMA. Keen to collab with colleagues from across rural and remote Australia. #RMA25

Well, hello. I am off to Perth for the Rural Medicine Australia Conference.

The main question is, how many more Zachary Rolfe’s are in the NT Police Force right now?

Sometimes, its the simple thing.

So, the same artists who aligns about missions also makes Australian word search books and decided that Tepee and Yurt are just common tents like a bivy.

So then, #Trump attacked #Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly - not skilled.. 🤔 Massive projection.

When Penny Wong said Australia support the US bombing Iran I was like “who is we, babe?”. Definitely don’t include me in this.

A young Aboriginal man has died in custody in Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison in Western Australia. The 31-year-old man was found unresponsive in his cell Wednesday afternoon. The WA Department of Justice said staff provided first aid to the prisoner until paramedics arrived.

Oh we have a caption change! Will silence Blak voices but is obviously listening in.

So, I don’t think thats what missions were for. How can you ignore history, erase the violence, put it on canvas then sell it for $$.

Alright you mob I’m back and I’ve got one goal - calling out JCLs in the Aboriginal art space. Wearing pants by King King Creative🖤💛♥️ #actuallyblak

This is when we start rioting in the streets.

We need to talk about how many Aboriginal artists out there are using and profiting from art to “reconnect” with their culture. You reconnect through your mob and your mob only. It doesn’t come with a price tag.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record. Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January. But some politicians still claim the climate crisis is a "hoax" as they do the bidding of Big Oil. What planet are they living on?

The wind gusts are devastating. Truly a hurricane of fire. Video: @stuartpalley.bsky.social

Los Angeles January 2025

People love to blather on about how we have to abandon CA when something climate-related happens as if anywhere in the world is safe. Climate disasters now happen absolutely everywhere and there is no escaping it. So.

Lake Mary Ann, Tennant Creek, NT.

First time working Christmas. Been blessed to have had it off all these years. Merry Christmas from the Barkly 🎄

Went out to the dam to take photos of my recent collection, Alkere (sky). It was 40 degrees but it was fun. Might need an assistant soon.

Always willing to talk about youth justice in the NT. You can’t talk about well-being without talking about social justice.

My bright-eyed and big imagination attended one of his writing camps at the age of 13/14. He is a big reason I kept writing through my teenage years.

Life has been busy. Attended the Pacific Regions Indigenous Doctors Congress (PRIDoC) on Kaurna Country hosted by AIDA. Loving life back in TC. Trying to make time for painting and train for a 6 month long-distance hike next year.

Tony Newport of Hillwood wins the internet today. #auspol

Looking to find other Blakfullas who are into hiking as much as I am. Surely I can’t be the only one.

Vancouver N3, I’m sorry. #erastour

On Kaurna country for PRIDoC 2024. Dinner with views tonight for PRIDoC Council.

So nice to be on Kaurna country

Rate the book, not the wine.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

UN Women's report on femicide showed that, globally, the most dangerous place for a woman to be was in her home, where the majority of women die at the hands of men.

We are seeing a few cases here in the Barkly.

Even in the middle of the desert, a hens party is a night to remember 💃🏽

Some doctors really need to check their privilege when they write management plans for symptoms and diseases experienced by Aboriginal people.

Mulla Mulla

Bed time but there is a storm rolling in.

Decided to start photographing Dad while I’m visiting. Definitely my favourite photos to date.

The burden of being a Blak doctor- you’re wanted and needed but no one wants to do the work to dismantle systemic racism.

Just some more photos of Aotearoa. Only one day left. Planning my next trip.

Aotearoa just being spectacular

Some NZ vibes coming my way.

Take care all you mob from now until October 14. Do what you need to do.

Revelation #2 since leaving my job. Apologies to people who have seen it across multiple platforms but I have so much processing to do.

Is it a cost of living crisis or a deliberate result of capital treating human rights like shelter, food and healthcare like commodities then blaming the impacts on workers asking for living wages?

Settlers are damn lucky most Blackfullas are aiming for treaty, land back and decolonisation - instead of payback

Denying someone who murdered Black people with a gun covered in swastikas was a white supremacist is in fact an act of white supremacy.

Good Morning Meanjin

Since I left my job 3 weeks ago I’ve started to reflect on my time as an Aboriginal doctor in the NT. This is one of my first big revelations. I hope to share more as I process.
