Here’s a roundup of the book & exhibition reviews published online in our May issue. A reminder that our exhibition reviews are free access for three months so please share widely, esp in the GLAM sector.
Thanks to our publisher Taylor & Francis for facilitating this.👇👇👇

Eventually, if we grow up as a nation, we will finally care enough to make our roads safer.
At the moment we just don't care enough.

#cyclist deaths on Australian roads are up by 30.3% over the past year.

Just keep making runs and you’ll be right.
If you reckon cycling has a weak culture and no integrity, take a look at this mob. Not a doubting word in the press.

Riding in Australia is overwhelming fear inducing. Many people driving cars are abusive, volatile and lack a basic understanding of the road rules or respect for other humans. I also drive a car and I manage navigate other road users just fine. Take me back to Spain.

Beautiful piece on the Thylacine.👇
Haven't tweeted in an age, but thinking and feeling a lot as #NationalThreatenedSpeciesDay passes. This year I marked the day with an extended @nma blog post about thylacine and their enduring power. nma.gov.au/explore/blog/find…

A freelancer's lot can be cruel & humiliating. Chased nearly every invoice at my last gig. My last invoice was repeatedly ignored for 2 months until I threatened legal action - they paid within 24 hrs. #Freelance #writersoftwitter #writerslife #twitterstorians
