Today I got a bunny in my coffee at my secret city coffee spot ☕🐇💕

The #Optusoutage has particular ramifications and opportunities for remote Australia. I'm really pleased to provide some thoughts on this in my first-ever op-ed, in Griffith University's Englighten. enlighten.griffith.edu.au/lessons-from-t… @GriffithBiz

Bu Monday morning we should expect a report to be delivered to the @optus CEO with details of what caused the outage and the cascading failure. Pity that this report won't be made public - some transparency would be great! #OptusOutage #telecom @acmadotgov @acccgovau #auspol

@_markagregory Great interview on ABC! I completely agree that a market-led approach to provision of essential infrastructure, and loose regulation that enables telcos to walk away from catastrophic failures, will ensure this keeps happening! #OptusOutage

@maththrills I usually got for gin in these circumstances... (or the ol' faithful - red wine).

What a hoot to publish alongside my former colleagues and recent PhD graduates from @qutdmrc. Congratulations on your sole-authored papers @s1223coulibaly and @Ollie_Eklund!

MIA #OpenAccess article from issue #189: @s1223coulibaly from @qutdmrc explores health (mis)information sharing on WhatsApp in African migrant and refugee communities, including the role of technological affordances & difficulties in content moderation. bit.ly/3MtQNy6

And Kim Osman delivers the first of several recommendations to help close the digital divide between low-income families and other Australians. Telcos need to offer products in ways that don't exclude certain segments of the population from their services ...

Happening now! @dezuanni, lead CI for our ARC Linkage on digital inclusion in low-income families, debunks the assumption that there is a 'safety net' for people who can't get a reliable, affordable connection or complete essential tasks online @qutdmrc

I'm delighted to share this paper authored by an all-woman team, comprised of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers. We did our best to represent the voices of First Nations people, taking a non-deficit approach to unpack the everyday digital choices families make.

@WheatWatcher I identify as a 'Xennial' caught between generations!

What generation are you? I fit into the 'millennial' category.

Secret city coffee spot never disappoints ☕🏙️💗

A ray of light in the darkness 🌎

@progressiveagri What about the one of a white guy in a paddock with a drone?

Does anyone else recognise this friendly face of agriculture? You sure do, because it seems to be the only stock photo used by industry associations and ag businesses across Australia. Must be a decade long reign now. I hope she is receiving decent royalties.

No words 😔

@_markagregory @X I'm pretty close to jumping ship anyways. Definitely would not pay to hang out here. Not sure I have the energy to pursue another platform. I've spent more time on LinkedIn lately.

It appears that @X is moving to a user pays model. Attempts to charge to participate will most certainly lead to a massive decrease in patronage. I've setup an account on #threads but are there more popular alternatives? #auspol

First Nations people in Australia's most remote communities wanted a Voice. The rest of Australia said no abc.net.au/news/2023-10-1…

Results for Remote Mobile Teams in the NT electorate of Lingiari. Number columns are first % Yes, then % No and total votes. #auspol #referendum2023

I am humbled to publish this article alongside colleagues (editors & authors) I hold in such high esteem. It brings together 6 years of fieldwork & scholarship on rural digital inclusion in Australia. It's been a wonderful journey & it's not over yet!🦘 doi.org/10.1177/132987…

Yesterday, at the magnificent Cloncurry Shire Hall, I had the opportunity to share some thoughts about digitally skilling a farming workforce for data futures. @NationalFarmers & @AgForceQLD, thanks for including me in the conversation & hosting me on the road. @GriffithBiz
