Seeds of Affinity

@of_affinity love it when our team work makes the dream work... stoked to see this article published! chp.org.au/wp-content/upl…

The mercury climbed to over 50C in the Pilbara this week& Roebourne prison where almost 100% of the prison pop’n is Aboriginal, has NO AIR-CONDITIONING.This prison described as inhuman in human rights reports over 5yrs ago & a massive surplus by WA Govt this yr. #RoebournePrison

@latoya_aroha Well done, so much hard work. Sending love to you, your mum and your family xoxo

URGENT: Tweet and call @VickieChapmanMP & ask her to put Fella's Bill to vote in the SA lower house today. There's only today and tomorrow left to get this done to #BanSpithoods! The Government promised @latoya_aroha & family this would be done - they've been waiting 5 years!

So I just learned via Ngarrda media that channel seven wrongly accused a black fella as being the one under arrest for Cleo’s kidnapping. Absolutely disgraceful

Not criminals or passive victims: media need to reframe their representation of Aboriginal deaths in custody by the amazing Amanda Porter & Eddie Cubillo 🖤💛♥️ @amanda_j_porter @CubilloEj theconversation.com/not-criminals-…

@latoya_aroha I'm really sorry @latoya_aroha we are sending you love ♥️

Our piece: "#BanSpitHoods is proof that non-reformist reforms... work as one kind of abolitionist project. It is possible to restrain carceral practices of this colony piece by piece." @latoya_aroha @nat_ironfield @AJ_Whittaker @AmityMara @caulfieldlauren theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@Sarah_McDonald_ Yep it remains as an ECR. I remember my supervisor saying that the longer you have a PhD the worse you get at driving and reading maps

Goodness me this resonated! Can this be an ECR thing too? I feel like it never went away 😂

@latoya_aroha You'd think that community responses would be considered along with closing them down

Strip searches are sexual assault by the State. Sexual assault by the State must end now. Governments say they’re ending #VAW but refuse to repeal legislation to end sexual assault by the State. #freeher theconversation.com/excessive-stri…

@MFWitches Last year I read Too Much Lip by Melissa Lukashenko

Twitter, tell me your best #lockdown Australian-author book reading advice?

@binarythis @Holly_Goblin Yoga?

Can universities please stop kidding themselves that the underfunded uni psych services, dodgy corporate wellbeing programs, and videos encouraging staff to “take care of yourselves” do anything to ameliorate the emotional toll of restructures and redundancies

A standing ovation for the Unbound Collective keynote. How lucky and privileged we were to listen and learn #AWGSA21

This is sickening. Imagine finding out your father died in custody from facebook. There will not be an end to Black deaths in custody until governments value their lives, & the lives of people in prison, equally to non-Indigenous lives. That's the reality theguardian.com/australia-news…

Exciting about to listen to @drcwatego keynote @AWGSA1

We are so excited that our first main conference keynote speaker is Associate Professor Chelsea Watego. Wednesday 10am Adelaide time. More information on our conference link below. Please tag @drcwatego and @AWGSA1 and use #AWGSA21 in your socials tomorrow.

Choccy lovers. I want to send my MIL some chocolates. Any recommendations for inter-state shipping? I just tied Brunettis but didn't have any luck.
