  • “This list naturally de-legitimised concerns of already distressed staff,” said Dr Hossai Gul, a UTS researcher and representative for the National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU).

    That statement is exactly right and points to a surprising lack of empathy in the handling of this process.

    “It is simply not something that should be shared at a university training future psychologists — our academics in that department and in health were horrified.”

    Hiring an outside firm to “help” with ostensibly positive advice for the bloodbath is horrible. I’m grateful the staff of the psychology department spoke up about this.

    • Do that task you’ve been dreading, like washing delicates, organising receipts for your taxes, or cleaning a bathroom.

    EDIT: I got confused, forgetting that washing delicates implies delicate clothes - thank you fellow Lemmy-ers!

    As an aside, I’m sure some people don’t wash thoroughly, but I imagine most do. I’m speculating here, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. But I imagine most people feel great about taking a shower and washing thoroughly for that fresh feeling. What prompted this outside firm to advise as such suggests they believe most people actually dread to wash thoroughly when showering. Could this be a case of projection, perhaps, on the part of the author who offered that advice?









  • Noteworthy:

    12-year-old Finnish victim with a foreign background sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries

    and:

    stabbed the 12-year-old victim from behind several times. After that he tried to go after a minor who was in the company of the other victim of stabbing

    Far-right ties, violence, cowardice and racism go together really well.

    I’m truly sorry for the child and their friend - and their respective families. I hope they recover from this - and that the fascist terrorist gets what he deserves.
