17 h. ago Experience: I put on the world’s first deaf rave for deaf ravers like me

Finding a venue was a headache. Some bookers thought it was a jokeI’ve spent my life determined to be one of a kind – perhaps because I’m a twin. During our birth, my younger-by-two-minutes brother’s umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. It cut off my air supply, which left me deaf, while his hearing was unimpaired. That’s sibling rivalry for you.I use hearing aids and am a strong lip reader, as well as being fluent in British Sign Language. When I take my aids out to sleep, you could fire a gun next to my ear and I wouldn’t stir. But with them in I have fairly clear access to sound. Continue reading...

7 d. ago Craig Silvey: ‘Boys want to feel as though their experiences and inner world are validated and important’

The acclaimed Jasper Jones author on raising three young daughters, identities forged in country life, and how literature can combat toxic masculinityGet our weekend culture and lifestyle emailIt’s a blustery morning at Fremantle’s Booyembara Park. Rain hammers down in sideways sheets, and the horizon is a blurred smudge of green and grey. Hardly ideal conditions to interview author Craig Silvey; we can barely hear each other over the downpour. “Lovely day for a walk!” Silvey shouts from beneath his polka-dot umbrella. He points to his sodden shoes with a grin. “I’m squelching. Should’ve worn some gumboots we’re like Shackleton out here,” he laughs.On sunnier days at “Boo Park”, as Silvey calls it, the 43-year-old and his partner, Clare Testoni, stroll the lake with their four-month-old twins, Hazel and Stella, while their three-year-old daughter, Matilda, hoons around on her push-bike.

8 d. ago Mitchell insists his previous final defeat can help England to Rugby World Cup glory

No changes in Red Roses 23 to face Canada on SaturdayMitchell accepts men’s team failed to handle 2019 final John Mitchell has learned from his experience of the men’s 2019 Rugby World Cup final and insists he has not made the same mistakes as coach of England’s women as they target the victory over Canada that will deliver Rugby World Cup glory.Mitchell admits that England’s men failed to “handle the emotional tank well” in 2019 when he was their defence coach. In stark contrast, his Red Roses finalists “have managed it”, he says as the head coach looks forward to Saturday’s showpiece at a sold-out Twickenham. Mitchell was one of Eddie Jones’s assistants when they lost to South Africa in Japan after beating New Zealand in the semi-final. Continue reading...

4 w. ago Abby Dow and England near record territory as Australia search for upset

Red Roses hoping to extend winning streak to 30 games while Wallaroos hunt for spot in quarter-finalsNothing the Red Roses do is boring. Those are the words of the centre Tatyana Heard as England head into their final pool match of the Rugby World Cup with the aim of topping the pool and equalling their own world record of consecutive wins. If the heavy favourites come away with a victory against Australia, they will extend their winning streak to 30 games.Their previous 30-match run ended in the 2022 World Cup final loss, which is the last time they were defeated. Discussions in the buildup to this tournament had been around whether it would be beneficial for England to have lost a game between the World Cups to bank a different experience. But that is not the mentality in the Red Roses camp and the defence coach Sarah Hunter says the current run of victories has not been brought up. Continue reading...
