Picking the scab of colonisation. There's a deep wound in Australia. There's a gash in our story. It is a wound that is known by different names: Colonisation. Dispossession. Coercion. Control. It is still with us. The wound is fresh. The wound of colonisation is a wound in the heart of the First Peoples of this land. To the people in high places who say that the wound does not exist, we say we know it does exist.

Via Thomas, Matt (mattthomas). Reading for the Rushed. I read every day, and I'm a remedial reading teacher. I keep my trusty book prop at the kitchen table to read a dead tree format book during lunch, about 40 minutes a day for fun. I also read ebooks, when hard copy is not available. If I'm away from home, I use my smart phone and Kobo reader to keep me in books while I wait somewhere, such as a doctor's office, or haircutters, or if I'm the passenger in the car.
As far as reading faster, and with better comprehension, I suggest reading for enjoyment at a reading level just below your reading ability.

The Reactionary - Magazine. The charming, sinister G. K. Chesterton Keystone/Getty Images Professor Ker’s spirited and double-barreled attempt at a rehabilitation of his cherished subject is enjoyable in its own right, and takes in such matters as Chesterton’s dialectical genius for paradox, the authority of the Father Brown stories in the detective genre, and the salience of Charles Dickens in the English canonical one.
