If any of my posts blow up please let it be this one:
Australia is currently petitioning to make it that all gender confirming surgeries for transgender individuals are covered by Medicare. This is absolutely huge as surgeries are super expensive even with private health insurance.
It doesn’t ask for an address or phone number or anything so I think anyone in the world can sign for it? But I’m not entirely sure.
EDIT: yeah you gotta be a citizen, so if you’re outside the country, if you could reblog this to reach more Australians, this would be amazing!
At the time of partition in 1947, the border between India and East Pakistan (modern day Bangladesh) was left extraordinarily complex with 102 Indian enclaves found in Bangladesh while 71 Bangladeshi enclaves were found in India. This border also included the world’s only instance of a counter-counter-enclave, Dahala Khagrabari, whereby a piece of Indian territory was found within a piece of Bangladesh, which was itself in a piece of India within Bangladesh. To simplify their international borders, the two countries agreed to exchange enclaves in 1974 with a revised agreement reached in 2015 which transferred land between the two and allowed residents of the area to travel freely between the two countries.
A Wall as a Room Samira Rathod Design Atelier The mean streets are the principal bazaars; I need size, and the arcades of the palaces, temples and houses, are the shops of the artisans, who are seen working almost in the open air at their traders, the tailors, the shoemakers , the goldsmiths, armorers, pastry-cooks, confectioners, coppersmiths, etc. The grain merchant occupy very spacious huts of thatch, constructed in a sort of coarse latticework,… In the midst of the main street. (Quotation from Victor Jacquemont’s Impressions of Jaipur & Amber in 1832 in Jadunath Sarkar - A history of Jaipur) This installation redefines the utilitarian purpose off the wall as a separator of space to be the container of space itself. One may find a Cross architectural history how walls have been used as places for hiding, service and shelter. The palaces of Jaipur work out a unique architecture of the skin that leave large open spaces bounded within thinwall buildings that can be occupied. In several urban areas today, walls have become infrastructures and extensions from homes and temporal entrepreneurship. Learning from many such examples, the installation attempts to rethink the architectural elements of the wall not as separator, but something that brings people together. The ‘Wall as a Room’ is an experiment in anthropometric norms, material, and spatial experience of one’s habitat. It provokes us to think of inhabiting the boundaries between the inside and the outside; private and public; the individual and the other. #WallAsARoom #Partition #Occupant #Splendid #PerfumeOnAWall #Bound #InsideAndOutside #PrivateAndPublic #IndividualAndOthers #Conceptual #Ideas #Ideology #Sketch #SpaceDesign #WhereIsSpace #Curated #JawaharKalaKendra #Jaipur #JaipurDiaries #JaipurJournal #Rajasthan #India #Wanderer #Wanderlust #Travel #Travelogue #TravelDiaries (at JKK-Jaipur, Jawahar Kala Kendra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnSsFYyF1ad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cifuzlxh9exr
