This is our SSM moment.
Simon Birmingham says Katherine Deves' loss to Zali Steggall "sends a message about what Australians believe when it comes to issues of respect, of inclusion, of diversity". For the results as the night unfolds follow our live blog: bit.ly/3Ntf713 #AusVotes22 #auspol

For all their avowed interest in disparities, white influencers ignore structural racism. This is strategic. Racism, as a social ill, is at odds with the “personal responsibility” that allows the white influencer solutions without sacrifice. Take, for example, @drlucymcbride. 🧵

Here's the absolute pièce de résistance: Derek Weatherley has raised a whopping $2195 of a $5k goal. Mr Weatherley is the CEO of none other than Indue Ltd. Indue as in "the Indue card". As in compulsory income management for welfare recipients - dehumanising, restrictive, inhuman

a 🧵 outlining a few things to remember about arts and cultural policy ahead of the cursed election -- 1. The Federal Government used the Covid-19 pandemic to suspend regulations for Australian TV networks to broadcast a minimum of local drama and children’s shows.

What concerns me about this tactic is that, but for a small ‘authorised by’ statement on the poster, they’d be completely legal. We need to amend our political advertising laws to make these ads illegal.
I know the @AusElectoralCom is investigating but this is the type of tactic you need to resort to when you can’t stand on your track record or have a vision for the future. It’s also why I support @zalisteggall’s Stop the Lies Bill to outlaw lying in political advertising #auspol

Don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re losing sleep worrying about you or your loved ones becoming disabled with #LongCovid, you’re neither alone nor irrational 💗

OK, tried out a new unit in my intro to philosophy class, and it is my new favorite unit: "Are Grades Bullshit?" I have never seen intro students more intensely engaged, more edge-of-their-seat, and more mind-blown. Thread:

Proud Dad moment. My daughter has been hung in the @ArtGalleryWA as part of the @westaustralian Pulse Exhibition for young artists. This is her oil on canvas that she painted from her shearing experiences on a family farm. So much talent & hard work. So happy to see it recognised
