Mardi Gras and World Pride

Linking this pic with #WeekendReflections

I had to duck into the city to swap something over in Marrimekko - I already had my gorgeous Valentine's Day present, so I raced past David Jones and into Westfield.

The city is festooned for World Pride, and it made for a really cheerful expedition. 

Just outside Marrimeko in Westfield is this instalation. You go inside and listen to stories. I only popped in for a minute as I was pressed for time - you really need more - and heard the speaker saying that in the Religious Freedom Bill Campaign, the trans community was singled out and illogically attacked. They continued that if one of the LBGT community is under attack, they all are and they need to band together and not be divided. 

If you get a chance, it's worth checking out. We are going away so I'm afraid I won't get back in. 

Mardi Gras is usually a big deal in Sydney but with Covid it kind of went quiet. Or maybe I just didn't go to the shops at that time? Anyway, it's nice to see it back and the city come alive with colour and sparkles.

I believe you don't have to be part of the community to stand with them. It's easier for people with no skin in the game to defend the vulnerable in the face of bigotry than those personally under attack. As even Bob Katter said 'Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom' before seguing into his issue of crocodile attacks....(which I think was a fancy way of saying Live & Let Live).

For those interested, I got a new 'festival' bag. Just in time for Tiesto. Yip yip! Countdown is on!....(it's a Year of the rabbit outside pocket - cross body bag but with a handle too).

It's time for #Allseasons for another week.
