Hello again, my dear readers.

Yes, we “lost” an hour. I’m feeling it. I’m tired and the day hasn’t started. What’s self care for me right now? making myself late to work so I can have a cup of filter at my local. And for the sake of this intro I asked the staff there what self care looks like to them:

 

• Guilt free sleep-ins

• Saying no (and not explaining why)

• 2 hour baths

• Full tank of petrol

• freshly showered, clean sheets, wine and doom scroll

• Mental health walks

• Stopping to pat street cats
 

Have any yourself? Email them to us at paper@nicepeople.au

 

Happy reading xoxo

We had a night out with chef Steve Chan from Sleepys, wound up back in his kitchen, and somewhere during he whipped up his late-night carbonara riff..

That feeling when a mental health walk can’t fix a broken healthcare system. Why does a $40 gap fee, your postcode, or getting time off work decide who actually gets help?

Tap below to read the first instalment of BIG SEXY EXPLAINS, a new column where our handsome, tattooed friend Dr. Sam Williams breaks down the systems that shape our lives.

Photographer and writer Alice Naish sits down with punk artist and frontperson of The Antics, Freya Tanks, to talk art, movement, and the empowerment that comes from taking up space - on stage, in your body, and in the world.

Together they explore how music, movement, and voice become acts of resistance for women carving their own path.
