My commentary about the responsibilities of geographers is published! Pretty thrilled. Plenty more could've been said. But I'm glad I could say something about what we owe in such an important (and tricky) discipline 😊🌳 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Great article on how TV in Israel depicts a sanitised picture of the war. All strength, no consequences. That means no crippled health system, no civilian deaths, no orphans. Stories matter, and absence speaks volumes. abc.net.au/news/2023-12-1…

A good piece of journalism about a worrying trend, and something I'm personally pretty alarmed about - ChatGPT / AI in assessment marking. abc.net.au/news/2023-11-2…

Genuine question, how much ecological damage would be avoided if the Federal Government covered the cost for spaying cats? I feel like not an insubstantial amount 🐱 #Auspol2023 #Sustainability #biodiversity

Someone obnoxiously playing music at the back of the bus is nothing new. But it's never been classical music before... 🤔

This is a great explainer

@KawinwitK @tasmania @today_tasmania @tourismtasmania I'm excited I'm getting anyone. I can finally *talk to people* 😁

Today, I'm backed by my senator, @DavidPocock, in launching my campaign to establish a duty of care owed by politicians to young people, ensuring that our health and wellbeing is considered when making decisions that could affect the climate system.

In the office after almost a month away! First at IAG2023, and then recovering from the nasty covid passenger that came back with me. Let's hope I remember how this all works 😅

@_anwyn And 'respondent', which to me always sounds like 'despondent' 🤔

@NatalieJester @AlasLockhart Who was the lovely #iag2023 speaker who presented on the performance of ANZAC Day ceremonies? I can't find her in the program! 😔 @InstAustGeog

my brain has been of 🔥 since this mornings’s @cultgeogau session with the super inspiring @willowrubbish presentation on DIY zinemaking and Deniz Yildiz on playback theatre as experimental collective research practices, reading the zine now! #iag2023

Great way to finish #iag2023! @charlotte_tas gave such a worthwhile presentation, showing you really can learn from youth in research 😊

@InstAustGeog Behold, the equal 3rd place recipient of the esteemed Institute of Australian Geographers Table Set Piece (?) Award. This piece represents co-creation, precarity, and the human experience. Well done Tean Table 8! 😂 #iag2023
