I reached out to the local community here in Brisbane to see if there were any stories of success or triumph during the COVID lockdowns and while I did not know what I would find, I was blessed with meeting Carl Martens, who has been documenting every day of his life for the past 50 years. His whole collection can now be found in the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.

Here is a link to his writings:

Tara Fahy and I speak about her business Flourish Community Solutions and my odd fear of doorbells, dogs, and cap guns all at the same time, which sends us off to talk about my childhood and family... it's really a make-shift therapy session.

Today I sit with Australian artist Well Born, and Tahlia Blow. We discuss January 26th in Australia, which is known by many names, "Survival Day, Invasion Day, and Australia Day" and we discuss the lack of education regarding this and the genocide of Aboriginals, January 26th's insensitivity to indigenous Australians, and the Courier-Mail's stolen lamingtons.

My name is Pete, his name is Pete, we make Pete and Pete. But don't be mistaken, there's only room enough in Australia for one Pete, which is why, in my head, Pete left for the USA to willingly strand himself in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. He may have gone to get married to his American girlfriend too... Pete Thomas from NSW everybody. We sit down and talk about what it's like in America from Australian Pete's view, and learn about his green card, or lack thereof.
