Aka ones 'pecca'

Used to. Was terrible but that was 7 years ago, not sure if it's improved since then

I really emapthise with Stan Grant in this piece. I have been feeling similar things myself, and I strongly believe that if I was indigenous and had a traditional family land l would be going back there too.

As it stands I am a city raised person who has experienced living in various country places. I'm living in a city right now, earning good money, but dreaming of moving back to the country to a quiet life.

I was also raised in the Catholic tradition, have been athiest for a long long time but really missing the sense of community that came from the church/school community when I was young.

I feel so pointless as a human. The money I earn doesn't seem as important as what I could be doing for my family. The work that I do doesn't seem relevant amidst the insanity of the world. I thought a great career would give me self worth but it just feels made up...

...like every other aspect of adult life. It's just all made up. Nothing means anything.

I'm lucky I have kids and pets to anchor me in the day to day. But that just reinforces my desire to move to a quiet country town, maybe have another child, maybe get some goats and grow some vegetables.

Monster Bash!

The thing no one can understand unless they have been pregnant, and been faced with giving birth or have given birth is how terrifying and animal of an experience it is.

Humans these days are used to convenience and ease and predictability... having a baby forces you to confront the chaotic nature and sheer mammalian nature of us.

Women facing birth for the first time, especially in this era where they have little support or experience to draw from, and lives where everything is controlled and understandable, are terrified. They reach out for these communities because they feel insignificant to the doctors and nurses and midwives they meet in the system and they are scared.

It very easy to sit back and scoff at women when you have no idea at all what it's like. You don't know. You can't know, but you aren't even trying to know.

People without direct experience should be doing more listening and attempting to understand, and less judging.

I think this is closest to correct. If the metric is that cult members are kind of duped to go along with group think and philosophy is the practice of questioning belief and thought processes.

That positions philosophy as the meta-analysis end of the scale and cults as the automatic.

So, this is definitely a playground for kids, but seeing as a fair few people mentioned playgrounds big enough for adults...

This one in Australia is accomodating enough for adults, many parents in there all the time
