Introducing the 2023 UTS Anthology, 🫧SOAK🫧. A collection filled with fun, humour, resilience, strength, passion, reflection, and ecocentrism. We are incredibly proud of this year’s edition and all our authors who have helped make ‘SOAK’ so unique, nostalgic and enjoyable.🫧

Instead of a CEO sleep out, we should just put neoliberal economists, the RBA board and big business leaders on the average Australian wage for six months (no access to savings) and get them to show us how it all works - budgeting, finding housing etc, in this economy

Gabrielle Carey was fiercely intelligent: both prickly and generous. I crossed paths with her at Varuna and UTS, where so many students were lucky to be taught by her. Our mental health system is broken. We need to pay artists a living wage. smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-an…

A ‘social cure’ for depression: Can we afford it, or afford not to try?

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64? That was a question I was forced to confront.

Sam Frost: how are you? Jordie’s mind plays back a montage of George waving his idol in the air, throwing Jordie under the bus, blowing up everyone’s game & yelling GLORY OR DEATH. Jordie: yeah I’m good, I’m having fun #SurvivorAU

Hopefully we don't have to wait 40 seasons for #SurvivorAU to finally get the point but DIVERSITY MATTERS ↓ So, how do you "survive" @survivorcbs ? Be a white man. They're less likely to be voted off first, more likely to make the merge, & more likely to win. #Survivor
