The one where we dream of playing with dolls and dressing up

Mish and Miranda chat with Mayor Steve Stefanopoulos about the City of Stonnington’s Night of Pride fundraiser for the Victorian Pride Centre.  We mourn the news of Mhelody Polan Bruno’s murder. And we remind everyone about the importance of self care. Such as … Playing with Mattel’s new range of gender-neutral dolls. Or dressing up as Electra Woman and Dyna Girl for Halloween! Or Thanksgiving celebrations. We are disappointed with the latest fake news. And delight in the success of trans women actors M J Rodriguez and Alexandra Billings.

If you do not have family and friends living nearby or a strong local support network it can be hard to get through difficult times on your own. Whether you are in a crisis or you just feel down and need to talk to someone, it is important to know that help is available at all hours of the day and night. There are many free mental health hotlines and mental health online support services across Victoria, which provide crisis support, information, resources, counseling, and therapy to people of all ages.
