daniel ricciardo x ofc (måneskin member!ofc)
prequel to the rush series
“do you wanna know what good, good, bad things all feel like?”
Summary: It took Lorelei Hester Alessandro, or Lester, almost six Italian Grand Prix races to come across Daniel Ricciardo once more. Sure, she was hesitant to speak to him regardless of the fact that she was his fan but the McLaren driver was certain he’d rather cause a stir in the F1 community with her after his win in Monza than celebrate his victory with a lot of people. OR the second close encounter between the two of them most unhinged people of F1.
Content warning: Use of explicit language, Big Ric Energy™, RBR!Daniel mentioned, alcohol consumption
Note: Self indulgent fic mostly. Make sure to catch up with the rush series or read this first before going ahead with the whole series! This is basically introduction to the relationship of Lester and Danny. enjoy xx
masterlist
2021 — PRESENT
It wasn’t everyday Lester got to value something like this wrapped around her neck like a jewelry from a parure. She supposed that being a Eurovision winner, alongside her best friends, would do that to anyone.
Because she couldn’t afford this and this was just a chance that she took — a risk. It wasn’t everyday she got to support her country’s racing team in the front row. The Paddock Club pass on her neck was a dream come true, indeed, but being a guest of Scuderia Ferrari because their driver was a fan of the band you’ve built from the ground up?
Yeah she was living THE dream. She wished that it would stay like this forever.
“Non bere troppo! È solo l'inizio della gara,” Don’t drink too much! It’s only the start of the race. Her friend Ethan stated, his slender fingers reaching for her glass as she glared at him. Lester downed the rest of her champagne.
“It’s a qualifying, idiota,” Lester rolled her eyes. “What could possibly be exciting about this?”
“I piloti che potrebbero ottenere la pole position? È eccitante, non credi?” The drivers who might get the pole position? That’s exciting, don’t you think? Damiano said. “Are you okay, Lo? You’ve been looking so foul ever since we got here today.”
“Yeah, yeah,” Lester waved off, pretending as if she hadn’t come across a certain Australian who definitely paid attention to her earlier.
The fact was that he hadn’t just paid attention — he made some offhanded comments about inviting her to his driver’s room and the paddock area of McLaren. Maybe it was a bad idea to look around in awe after living your childhood dream of being known in the F1 world because even your favourite driver would want to fuck you if you looked extremely hot and adorable at the same time. She didn’t even want to see Daniel Ricciardo in that sense. She liked his driving and she made him her favourite driver of this generation.
It was a shame that was the first thing he said since 2015. Not that he remembered. But Lester certainly had.
2015
It was a good idea her boss was a close friend of the owner of the bar because she wouldn’t have found herself in this place. Where the drivers are now.
She tried to put on her best clothes — a black lacy bodysuit, leather pants and the most expensive Gucci shoes that her sister Nora had lent her for the weekend. She didn’t think to tell anyone what the brand of her clothes were as to save face in front of people who could pay her rent; the pants she wore were thrifted and the bodysuit was an off season clearance item from Victoria’s Secret. She never told anyone about it.
She barely made it to Monza because of the lack of money she had. University and being a musician did a number on her. She might as well sell her soul just to see Daniel Ricciardo in person.
Lester had gotten in touch with the owner and did the best she could to keep things low key. Her friend Thomas was the one who had taken her to the club to avoid any further trouble that could be possibly caused by her fangirl behaviour.
But it wasn’t exactly her potential freakouts that would lead her to him.
At first she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it. She was calm and collected — she apologized as much as she could and cleaned up everything she had to clean up. But then, Toro Rosso’s Max Verstappen decided to make things harder for the both of them and had gotten into a quarrel about not watching her way and how irritated he is.
“You don’t look like you could smile anyways,” said Lester as she turned away and cursed, “Insufferable bastard.”
A gasp behind her echoed through the crowded loud room. All while Lester listened to the steam coming out of Max’s ears.
“What did you call me?” Max asked angrily, but Lester was walking away. “Oi! I’m talking to you!”
“And I’m not trying to,” Lester spewed out, “I’ve seen you before. Toro Rosso right? You’ve no personality— it’s no wonder why I like Sainz over you.”
“Sec—“
“Max no,” Carlos Sainz backed up the Dutchman before turning to Lester and Thomas, who was now holding back the bassist.
“Is that why you’re always frowning? Because you can’t even smile even if someone begged you to,” Lester retaliated, making Max turn even more red.
“Security—“
“Max, what’s wrong, mate?” That voice froze Lester to the core. No way.
But her suspicion was right because by the time she turned back around, a familiar figure stood next to the Dutchman with cocktail in hand. Shit. She was picking a fight at the same room as Daniel Ricciardo.
So much for a good impression.
“She’s—“
“I’d pick your words wisely because I don’t take shit from men regardless of how well known they are,” Lester didn’t even care about the Australian person knowing that she’s got a bigger problem she called Max.
“Look, listen—“ Daniel spoke up, staring at Lester as he smiled and put a hand in front of Max. “I apologize on his behalf—“
“What—“
“I don’t obviously know what happened but I hope we can put it past us. No? This is the first time Max’s been out and he just doesn’t want to ruin his own night,” Daniel had put on his best smile and Lester could just tell that he did it to not cause any more issue within the Red Bull team.
“I’m obviously more than willing to,” Lester’s accent thickened as she glared at Max, “but that asshole’s trying to pick a fight. I cleaned up everything already!”
“And I appreciate that,” Daniel turned towards Max and Carlos, “Look, lads. Just— stay out of trouble, alright? Just walk away from the scene and act as if you hadn’t done something stupid. I’m cleaning up your mess, just walk away. Don’t hassle the lady and her friends.”
Lester continued to glare at Max. Dío mio, he was so annoying for a driver who does well, she thought. The Dutchman huffed before he walked off with Carlos Sainz. But when Daniel turned back, Lester and her friend had already walked away too. She hadn’t wanted to embarrass herself further in front of the Australian.
“Miss!” Lester had surprisingly heard his voice while the crowd remained loud, especially when she was so drawn by Toto’s girlfriend, Tilly Hearth’s presence as she spoke to the Italian girl with a grin about her newest novel. She had been a fan of Tilly ever since she entered the formula one world last year, but Daniel Ricciardo’s voice was familiar and it had her turning around.
He held his hand out with a wide grin, “Come dance with me!”
“So rude of you Daniel,” Tilly scoffed jokingly, “I’m talking to the girl.”
“It’s to make up for Max’s attitude,” Daniel winked at the Italian, making Lester blush. “Us Red Bull drivers should be acting with decorum, so it’s only fair I make it up on his behalf no?”
“I—“ Lester offered Tilly a meek smile, “Thank you for chatting. I appreciate it. Grazie, Signora Hearth.”
“Yes, of course,” the older woman waved off, “I’ll see you around, yes?”
Then her night started there and the love she had for Daniel Ricciardo strengthened. It was too bad it took her six years until she realized how shitty he could get. But it also took Daniel six years to realize that the love he could’ve had was the girl who had nearly been kicked out of the bar.
2021 — NOW
Now, Lester wasn’t a saint; she had her fair share of shittiness. She had ghosted people before, hell she even blocked some. But to be brought from Ferrari to McLaren just so Daniel Ricciardo could chat her up — years or so after blocking her — was just borderline asshole-ish of him. His cockiness radiated while he asked for her name, trying to offer her a good conversation as if she hadn’t been here before.
It was more baffling that he didn’t remember her from six years ago when he danced wildly with her after the race. But it wasn’t Lester’s place to remind him, only huffing out in annoyance and losing her faith in him as he tried inviting her to his driver's room.
“Sei fottutamente serio in questo momento?!” Are you fucking serious right now. Lester scoffed at him as Daniel’s eyes widened in shock. “Uomo stupido! Stupido, stupido, stupido uomo ingenuo!” Stupid man! Stupid, stupid, dumb naive man!
“I’m sorry, what—“
Lester glared at him before saying, “I knew coming here in this area is a mistake. I’m a fan of yours, you know? All those years ago, I thought you genuinely were kind for offering a good dance.” She pressed a finger in his chest, “But you are like all of them, Mr. Ricciardo. Inviting me to your room so you can have a good head? You. Are. Fucking. Stupid.”
“I’m inviting you to our paddock area…?”
“I am a Ferrari guest— and A PART OF TIFOSI!” Lester exclaimed. “Besides, I’m a bassist of this year’s Eurovision winner, so you’re not the only one who’s famous.”
“Lorelei—“
“I’m ABBA style popular, “Dan!” I’m not gonna fuck you for a paddock pass!” Lester’s mouth barely stopped as she muttered swear words in Italian and walked past him. That was the second time Daniel Ricciardo had witnessed some sort of confrontation with her, so when this did happen it stuck to him and realized who she was.
Another woman approached Lester for the third time today and it was beginning to bother her. The said woman wore a papaya shirt, making Lester frown lightly before the woman could ever speak. The bassist spoke as politely as she could “If this is about your driver, please don’t bother. I really do not want to cause more problems with him. He needs to focus on minding his business.”
“Daniel would really like to apologize,” the woman emphasized, “he wouldn’t shut up. We really don’t want to make a bad impression to you guys and we can’t have our drivers act so badly towards you.”
“It’s alright,” Lester waved off. It really wasn’t. It annoyed her that Daniel didn’t see her as a musician but rather a groupie. “Just… tell him to focus more on his race. He can live.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to go try and speak to him again?” Ethan asked, “You’ve always wanted to see him up close.”
“That might have been the case before but there’s a fine line between being seen as a fan and as a groupie you can take back to your drivers room,” Lester told her friends quietly. It turns out that she wasn’t as quiet as she thought, because the mouth of the woman in the papaya shirt gaped open just as she dropped the bomb.
Then the woman said, “I am so, so, so sorry for that. God, that man and his mouth— don’t worry, Miss Allie, he is getting an earful after the qualifying and we’ll make sure he’s going to— God! Sorry, I’ve to go see him. I’ll touch base with your manager before you leave tomorrow after the race. Is that okay? Good. Enjoy the race, Miss Allie, Misters David, Raggi and Torchio.”
Lester turned back to her friends with a confused frown, which was met with their own reactions once that the woman sped away. She mumbled, “So weird. It’s really not a big deal.”
“It is,” Damiano replied, “especially if that’s how they reacted. Anyone wouldn’t have cared much so clearly your issue with Daniel is a big deal.”
Thomas: We’re partying with the drivers tomorrow. Charles Leclerc invited us.
Lester: Awesome I guess.
Maybe a part of her was still a fan of the Honey Badger. She couldn’t fathom telling him that though, still feeling humiliated by the way she reacted and how he perceived her yesterday.
All she could do was stare up at him as he celebrated his Monza win as his champagne bottle sprinkled on his fellow podium mates. Everyone celebrated him despite the disappointment of Ferrari not being in the P1 position. Everyone celebrated Daniel Ricciardo because he’s still Daniel Ricciardo.
The way he stuck his tongue out while the champagne rained over the audience below the podium did a number on Lester as her pupils had blown in excitement and… lust? She wasn’t sure.
She felt something when his dark eyes glossed over hers and stopped looking around altogether. His grin remained on his face, but he was a man with a plan to apologize eventually.
Sprinklings of the alcohol soaked her blazer partially as her friends finally made their way to the garages to check on the drivers. They spoke to Charles and Carlos once more and thanked the duo for a good race. Her mind was still elsewhere when she spoke to the two, her eyes scanning the pit lane to catch a glimpse of the Australian.
No luck. But she wasn’t actively seeking him nor should she do anything about him.
Her pinstripe waistcoats hugged her figure tightly alongside the flared pants that matched the fabric of her top, collars popping off as her petite body emphasized every single curve that she had. The boots that she wore increased the possibilities of being seen by the winner, but she didn’t think to care that much about him.
She thanked her footwear and her dark red lips for catching his attention, though.
Daniel Ricciardo was keen on celebrating his win with his peers. He opted for cocktails at first, but then the dance floor called for hard liquor for courage as he finally placed his glass down and walked towards the bassist.
“Miss Alessandro!” The bassist, who already took her first drink, turned around to face Daniel Ricciardo. For someone who claimed to be a big fan of his, she didn’t think to care for him now— and he liked that about her. She wasn’t intimidated and she was more confident after painting her lips blood red.
“Ah! Signor Ricciardo,” Lester smirked lazily, not even making it less obvious that she was taking his presence in slowly as she spoke, “Hai fatto bene nella tua gara. Congratulazioni.” You did well on your race. Congratulations.
Her Italian accent left him stammering a little as he lost his mind at how sultry it was. “A- ah yes. Personally- I don’t speak Italian- I’m half but I don’t speak it. But I can understand the congratulations part- so thank you.”
“Hm,” she eyed him up and down before sipping on her champagne. The fact that she looked away somehow bothered him. He wasn’t sure if it was his ego or her attention— he was just bothered that she wouldn’t pay attention to him.
But he was good at mind games too. Well… that’s if she was playing it. “Listen, have I ever told you that you’ve the Italian charm that my Dad used to tell me about?”
“Really?” Lester giggled, not because of how Daniel worded it. She was laughing at the fact that of all the things he could’ve went with, he went with this.
“My Mum used to tell me that’s how Dad fell for her,” Daniel smirked, now sitting next to her before he spoke to the bartender about the champagne they had for him. “How about I tell you more about it?”
“Well… considering how you’ve treated me a few days ago, I don’t think it’s the Italian charm that kept you going,” Lester leaned over, her lips nearing his ear as she whispered, “You know what I think? It must’ve been the adrenaline and ego of a talented driver that told you to chase after me. Sad to say, I’m not the one night stand kind. I don’t even like parties like these— I’d rather be drinking alone but what else can a woman do?”
She hadn’t even seen the bartender approach the two as she stood, her tipsy face sobering up as she grabbed her purse. But just as she turned down the chance of standing too close to her favourite driver, Daniel pulled her back by the wrist as he offered her a pleading look.
“Look, I’m sorry I left a bad impression on you the other day,” those words definitely sobered her up. Daniel said through a wild loud crowd, “I was just hoping for some one-on-one time with you but clearly that didn’t work out.”
“You worded it as if I wanted to fuck,” Lester pointed out.
“I know, I know,” Daniel told her guiltily before admitting, “it was wrong— like really, really wrong. My PR manager wasn’t joking when she said I wanted to apologize yesterday.”
She stopped fighting against the restraint he had of her, standing there dumbfounded as she said, “Wow… uh… okay. Thank you for apologizing.”
“And uh,” he scratched his head as he gestured at the full bottle of champagne in front of them, “if you’d like we can finish this whole bottle together? No, no funny intention— I swear to you. We’d have more privacy in the hotel and we’ll have a decent champagne tasting experience. You won’t have to deal with anything. Just let me make it up to you.”
She stared at him for the moment. At first she was hesitant; this was Daniel Ricciardo— HER favourite driver Daniel Ricciardo. All those years of being a formula one fan taught her enough about him and how to love him, so to see him up close? This was a dream and a joke.
After all, he did block her back when she’d spam tweet him. She didn’t obviously blame him for that; but he was still Daniel Ricciardo. He was world famous.
But then again, in Europe and possibly around the world, she too was popular. What did she have to lose? She wanted to know what good and bad things felt like when they’re mixed together.
“Sure,” she beamed, making his eyes light up in joy as he stood excitedly. “I’d like to get to know you as Daniel.”
“I hope you have some stories to tell,” Daniel said, “because I’ve been wondering who Lester is ever since she came to the paddock.”
“Lorelei,” she introduced herself, “or Lori. Lester’s just for the music and concerts. If you want to know who I am then I’m Lori.”
“Good, then call me Danny.”
This wasn’t the kind of bad and good thing that she expected.
Waking up next to him definitely felt great, with her manicured nails trailing down his bare chest as she slowly woke up from her slumber. His soft breathing was peaceful. Fuck that felt great.
Her eyes’ insistence to stay shut definitely hadn’t helped her as she groaned quietly. The sunlight that passed through the blinds called for her awakened presence. She had an incoming headache. This was bad.
No… waking up next to Daniel Ricciardo naked was. But just as she opened her eyes wide and looked down, the sigh of relief escaped her mouth. She didn’t have sex with him.
“Mmmm… ‘m just half naked,” he murmured, not even looking at her as he kept his eyes shut, “we didn’t… no I’d never do that to you…”
“Oh,” she said softly, but her voice was raspy as she slowly sat up and looked at him while she nodded to herself, “Good… we didn’t have sex. Good.”
His phone was blowing up for god knows how long now, and with her phone, at 21% charge, going off as well she’d never been this annoyed with waking up until now. She wanted to throw her phone so bad if it hadn’t been for her twitter going off.
Endless texts came from Damiano, Thomas and Ethan as they begged her to answer or check her twitter.
She understood why they were like that. It wasn’t everyday she got to see herself posing lewdly — but not naked — in front of a camera while drunk. No wait— she never got to see herself pose like that on Daniel Ricciardo’s twitter page.
“Oh fuck…” she muttered, running her red nails through her hair as she shook Daniel awake. “Ricciardo, wake up.”
“Hm?” His eyes opened for a moment to read the tweet on her screen before drifting off. But the realization nearly had his eyes popping out as he sat up, “Shit!”
“Look, I really don’t like the thought of causing more scandal for you… or me,” Daniel finally gathered his thoughts after he had a long conversation with his PR manager and Lester’s own. He had freshened up and gave Lester some spare clothes, shying away from her after the embarrassing incident of tweeting while drunk last night.
His meekness, however, was something of an amusement for Lester as she continued to chuckle quietly. The Daniel Ricciardo that Lester had seen on TV was the cocky and funnily confident one — so seeing this version of him was some sort of an honour, if you would ask her.
He continued, “And after all of this I don’t think you’d want to see the guy who made your career miserable but seriously I’m sorry—“
“Why wouldn’t I want to see you again?” Lester cut him off with a cheeky smile, “after all, we have to figure out how to get back to the graces of your fans and mine, no? What’s better than to do it together?”
Daniel, for the third time, was rendered silent. God, she was so divine.
“So… what do you think?”
“About… OH! Shit, yes,” Daniel cursed underneath his breath, making the Italian woman giggle loudly as he said, “Would you like to meet me sometime next week? I’ve got accommodation in Monaco. I'd really kill for a… date. With you.”
“So not just for PR reasons?” She raised a brow in amusement.
“Definitely not,” Daniel shook his head. “I think I haven’t won fully until you say y—“
“Yes, that sounds good,” Lester exclaimed as she beamed heavily. “A date it is.”
He beamed back, “Good. I… Shit. Sorry— I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed with me, Lori.”
“And I look forward to it, Danny.”
Good God.
She was what good and bad things felt like altogether.

Operation bluebird, huh? Was there any files on that specifically? Maybe it could have ties with the tragedy or whatever else?
Actually, the Freedom Foundation basically knows all there is to it. If you want a more in-depth explanation as to how it relates to us, I'll tell you.
During the Tragedy, an unknown overseas government program trained child soldiers from the day they could walk; likely with the intention of combating Ultimate Despair, but it could just as likely be for the sake of fighting FOR it. It was an environment of oppression and strictness. The kids were prohibited from playing games or sports, or engaging in other typical child activities, nor could they speak unless they were spoken to.
We knew about this because of one of our fellow Killing Game participants: a guy named Ceasar. Because of his childhood being raised as one of these child soldiers, he was quiet, reserved, and...never spoke unless spoken to. Based on what Caesar told us, he made friends with his fellow kids and even grew to care for them as a family in spite of the difficulties of his upbringing. However, Operation Bluebird took place not too long later.
Another one of our "classmates" in Freedom Academy's Killing Game was Victoria Hester. Victoria had demonstrated boat handling and strategic planning abilities at some point prior to being forced into the Killing Game. As a result, the government made her lead her own fleet in a number of bloody war-related missions, earning her the moniker "Ultimate Naval Officer." But initially, she told us that her title was the "Ultimate Sailor" in order to disassociate herself from her number of bodies she'd wracked up.
Victoria was troubled by the fact that 435 people were killed and 732 people were injured as a result of her missions. Of these missions, Operation Bluebird stands out the most because it led to the murder of numerous individuals at a concentration camp, including a number of children who were forced to serve as soldiers. Caesar and his pals were among these young soldiers, and Caesar was among the few people who survived.
...
It's all very depressing stuff, but…it doesn't get much better.
Towards the end of the Freedom Academy Killing Game, Victoria would often stay up late talking to Caesar, who had at first expressed interest in becoming friends with her. This perspective, however, was altered one evening when Victoria talked about "Operation Bluebird," the event which resulted in the deaths of the majority of Caesar's "family," and she expressed her deep regret for what had transpired.
But...Caesar's life was ruined by that incident, and...even though he never hated Victoria for it he...he still felt that he needed to get revenge...So he killed her...then he got executed...
...Four...
That Killing Game brought nothing but pain, and misery, and anguish, but if there's one thing I gained from it, it's a conscience.
I'm never going to look down on the value of life again...No matter where you're from or what you've done...and I partially have Victoria and Caesar to thank for that.

Social media and trades construction
From e-flux.
This week we are launching madskills: Self-Documenting Construction on Social Media, an exhibition and research project addressing the rising trend of self-documentation in construction work, which has led to a greater visibility of the industry, its workers, and their material culture.
As younger generations equipped with smartphones and internet savvy enter the construction industry, social media is becoming increasingly popular among contractors, operators, and tradespeople. They film themselves at work, their environment, the machinery they use, the skills they showcase, and the local construction techniques they employ, and share their observations on digital platforms like Instagram and TikTok. By doing this, they take control of how their work is perceived by others, giving their followers a behind-the-scenes look at construction sites and processes that are typically inaccessible to the public. These short clips are filled with pride, humour, showmanship, and concerns, and viewers often express their approval and respect with comments like “mad skills.” This content has gone viral in recent years and almost everyone scrolling on social media will have encountered it.
Can these instructive, performative, and often strangely satisfying videos shift the public perception of labour and workers in the building sector? Is it possible to control the image projected of one’s workplace by self-documenting its spaces and activities, despite the power of social media to dictate how that image is distributed? And can the constant scrutiny of the online community expressed in comments be leveraged to improve building standards and conditions for construction workers worldwide?
To contextualize these viral videos and the changes underlying their production and circulation, madskills, curated by Hester Keijser, CCA Curator of Photography and New Media, juxtaposes a cross-section of short clips with materials documenting the development of the modern construction industry from the CCA collection of photographs, including views by David Graham Powrie of Das Canoas House in Rio de Janeiro (1953–1954) and of the Palace of Agriculture in São Paulo (1953–1954) under construction; or Pierre Jeanneret’s views of construction workers in Chandigarh (1952–1966). Representations by architects, engineers, photographers, and artists often portray workers simply as labourers and not as individuals—if they are depicted at all. Alongside this documentary material, short interviews with construction workers relate their experiences and motives for sharing their offline work.
“The most important difference between an architect and a photographer making these videos is that construction workers can choose to document what they want to share about their work and how they portray themselves. I think there’s a natural match between social media and the construction industry, in the sense that there’s a performative aspect to construction, while Instagram and TikTok are very much about self-documenting and performing for a camera first and then an audience. In a way, the construction site is a stage, so it has this aspect of a performance space in which a worker or a machine can highlight a certain skill or outcome.” – Hester Keijser in Work Smart, Not Hard, a conversation with Luuk Smits, Charlie-Anne Côté, Emma Rath, and Victoria Addona, that we have published this week.
madskills is part of a longer, ongoing investigation at the CCA into the use of photography and new media to study the built environment. This new chapter on digitally produced content is framed as an open-ended research project engaging with questions on the agency of content creators, the concept of authorship on social networks, and the ethics of presenting and referencing such material.

+ “Three keys to more abundant living: caring about others, daring for others, sharing with others.” – William Arthur Ward
2023 | A Year in Review
What a year 2023 has been. For me, it has been year of great growth and learning. As I look back across the year, I share with you all these wonderful moments:
In January 2023 I was recognised by ISC Research UK, on their Edruptor of 2022 list, recognising me as an influential educator within international education. ISC Research, the leading provider of English-medium K-12 international school data, trends, and intelligence, has compiled a list of highly rated thought leaders within international education.
In January I commenced at LCI Melbourne, as their new Academic Operations Manager. LCI Melbourne is a private institute of higher education that specialises in art, design, and enterprise education. LCI Melbourne is one of 23 campuses from across the global as part of LCI Education.
In February, we launched Series Thirteen of our Game Changers podcast featuring seven remarkable Indigenous Australians, Thomas Mayo – an author and signatory to the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Nicole Brown – the 2022 Darwin Community NAIDOC Volunteer of the Year, Corey Tutt – the Founder and CEO of DeadlyScience, Tammy Anderson – a dynamic School Principal, Lucy Amon – a school Indigenous Programs Coordinator, Anita Heiss AM one of Australia’s foremost Aboriginal authors, poets and Karen Mundine – social commentator and the CEO of Reconciliation Australia. During this period the podcast hit 450,000 plus listens.
In February, I had an article ‘Without Technology Schools Will Become Irrelevant’ published by Norwegian online education Lucubrate Magazine on his thoughts about artificial intelligence.
In March, my co-authored 2022 book Game Changers: Leading Today’s Learning for Tomorrow’s World hit the bestseller list. The book is now available via Amba Press and on Amazon, Booktopia and Barnes & Nobles.
In March, I delivered a leadership keynote titled ‘Game Changers’ at the 2023 World Education Summit, the globe’s largest online educational conference.
In March, I delivered a two day High-Performance Schools Masterclass at Toddle - Your Teaching Partner’s 2023 #SchoolLeadersBootcamp.
In April, I was invited to be a guest on Joshua Stamper’s global ASPIRE Podcast.
In May, I was invited by EdLeaders to be on the selection panel for their inaugural EdLeaders Impact list for 2023.
In July, in collaboration with the Student Experience Manager we launched a new Student Success Strategy framework for LCI Melbourne where the institute is committed to amplifying student voice, agency, and advocacy.
In July, I was recognised as one of The Educator's Most Influential Educators in 2023. This is a testament to the Game Changers’ dedication to transforming education and driving positive change within our community.
In July I was invited to facilitate a leadership masterclass titled ‘Leading A High Performance School’ for the executive team at The Hester Hornbrook Academy. The Hester Hornbrook Academy (HHA) provides alternative flexible education and learning options for young people from the ages 15 to 24 who are experiencing disadvantage, significant trauma, and disengagement from mainstream schooling.
In August, I was invited to deliver a keynote address at the annual New South Wales Secondary Deputy Principal’s Association conference, titled ‘Setting the Scene: For Designing A Better Normal.’
In August, I was invited to present and facilitate the two-day annual Catholic Secondary Deputy Principal’s Association (CSDPA) conference in Western Australia. My opening keynote was titled ‘Setting the Scene: For Designing A Better Normal.’
In August, I was invited by We Teach Well to host a conversation on artificial intelligence in education ‘AI & The Age of Humans: A Paradox’ at the annual Digital Innovations Futures Festival in Victoria.
In September, together with a group of key staff from Catholic Education South Australia (CESA) we were recognised by ACER Teacher Magazine in their inaugural Teacher Awards 2023 in the Curriculum Design and Implementation category for our work in designing Limitless Possibilities, a model of social entrepreneurial learning accessed through a digital toolkit, for all 103 CESA schools, which empowers students to recognise and innovate for a socially just, equitable and sustainable world. Limitless Possibilities draws on a body of entrepreneurial education research and is underpinned by Catholic Social Teaching Principles, explicit teaching, and inquiry methodologies such as Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Design Thinking.
In October, we launched Series Fifteen of our Game Changers podcast featuring Glenn Savage – the Associate Professor of Education Policy and the Future of Schooling from the University of Melbourne, Drew Cortese – the Director of Global Partnerships at Avenues The World School, Sandra Milligan – the Executive Director and Enterprise Professor at the Assessment Centre at the University of Melbourne, Rosemary Kairuki – an Author and the 2021 Australian Local Hero recipient, Ali Durban – the Co-Founder of the Gesher School UK, Joann McPike – the Founder of THINK Global School, and Dr Jason Dewling – the President of Western Canada and Asia Pacific, LCI Education Network. During this period the podcast hit 600,000 plus listens.
In October, I was invited to present at the annual Independent Public Schools alliance conference in Brisbane, Queensland. His keynote was titled ‘Leading Today’ Learning for Tomorrow’s World.’
Wrote 28 blog entries via my Tumblr - Permission Is Triumph.
Continued to be my elderly mother’s carer, especially post her stroke. My time with her is the most precious gift of 2023.
As we stand on the threshold of 2024, my heart brimming with anticipation, I eagerly welcome the boundless possibilities that lie ahead. The canvas of the new year stretches before us, blank and full of potential, waiting to be painted with the hues of our aspirations and dreams.
Go gently my friends. Know you are enough. And always remember to be kind.
Adriano xx

something that fills me with irrational rage is when kiwis adamantly insist that crowded house are from new zealand when the ONLY nz related thing ch has is neil finn himself (and tim’s brief stint during the woodface era if u really wanna count that). firstly, ch were formed in MELBOURNE. oh and where’s melbourne, you ask??? VICTORIA! it’s the bloody state capital!!!! and where’s victoria? AUSTRALIA. and SECONDLY, two thirds of the 3 founding members are AUSTRALIAN. last time i checked nick seymour and paul hester weren’t from new zealand, they were from MELBOURNE, which, as we’ve established, is the STATE CAPITAL of victoria, which is in AUSTRALIA. it wasn’t until their fourth album that they set foot in nz to record an lp and prior to that they either recorded in the us or australia. just bc neil finn is the frontman doesn’t immediately grant every single member of crowded house fucking new zealand citizenship lmao. it’s like saying the monkees are a british group just bc davy was british despite the other 3 being american. tldr idrc about what things are considered to be originally from australia or nz (ie the pavlova) but when it comes to ch get fucked kiwis

Hey, Makoto, did the freedom foundation ever tell you about the other participants other than just name and talent wise..? I’m curious. There might be some old files somewhere which involved some lore of them now that you know their names and all.
...
*sigh* He's not gonna respond to you dude.
I'll answer though. Aside from the 6 of us, there was Ash Sivale, August Clarke, Caeser, Chet Perez, Kami Kanako, Kokona Tamashiro, Marie Filliet, Ricardio Montague, Tamako Fujiwara and Victoria Hester.
If you need us to document the event and serve as eyewitnesses and accountants to what happened, we'll gladly do so. Any of those names sound familiar though?
A few, yes...
August Clarke was a rather famous young American model before he went missing, and same goes for the lawyer Kami Kanako. Maya's already told me about Caeser, Marie Filliet and Kokona Tamashiro, and...
I believe there was a confidential government file on Victoria Hester. Mainly that she's an important name in the event of Operation Bluebird.
For what it's worth, Victoria told us about that operation too. She expressed nothing but shame and regret for it.
It's not my place to judge the actions of one who's already dead...But I extend to you my sympathies.
