Astrid's piece was delightful. Emma's is heartbreaking of course. I went to a public school and something that strikes me still is my schoolmates' belief in their own choices. I don't mean to sound condescending but I think that we're conditioned to believe that we get what we deserve, and the studious, intelligent few who break ranks to go on and 'succeed' by societal measures are held up as more deserving. But most of my high school friends who work in 'unskilled' jobs are just as capable as my lawyer colleagues at a top tier firm, they just have no idea (why would they?).
Ps. Saw your Melbourne show Bri you absolutely ATE in that Em Nolan and thigh-high boots situation. I thought the moderator's question about sex and consent was a little misguided or confused but you handled it excellently, we could've listened to you talk for hours.
I loved seeing you all dressed in red in Bondi!! It's clear you're having loads of fun dressing up, and it's so exciting to see so many people talking about The Work, I'm half way through it and it is hard to put down!
Love you Bri. Thankyou for being so accessible and kind.
