Why is the '200 word compound sentence, so full of incongruous citations and repeated phrases that you cry in despair as you reread it' not taught as an essential component of the #academicwriting process?

Artists positioned as first responders to the climate crisis in #Groundswell - movements in #art and #territory. I'm proud to be part of this increadible survery of #artists and #activism opening at Araluen Arts Centre this weekend. #ClimateJustice araluenartscentre.nt.gov.au/whats-on/groun…

@gindaanis Tuck & Yang's essay has been one of the most transformative reads of my PhD, illuminating my "moves to innocence" and the centrality of land and wealth theft in settler colonialism.

In their essay, Decolonization is not a metaphor; Eve Tuck and K Wayne Chang assert that decolonization is not interchangeable with other ideas about social justice and human rights. It’s not something we do along with accessibility and anti-racist work.

"Place for me is the locus of desire" wrote Lucy Lippard Me too. In beautiful and troubling ways. So I'm very excited about the @RegionalArtsAus Regional Arts Assembly, connecting regional #artists for a whole year of conversations about #place. regionalarts.com.au/programs/2021-…

"It’s curious, in the chaos of conversations about what we ought to do to save the world, how seldom sheer modesty comes up — living smaller, staying closer, having less — especially for us in the ranks of the privileged" orionmagazine.org/article/the-mo…

@bicycleuser I've found it entirely liberating not to have to worry about scopus and rankings. Im more interested in being part of conversations that make kin, and i don't really feel that academic journals offer me this.

But also even though it seems that research will be harder to fund and find time for in wake of restructures and federal funding changes, it's totally possible the same weird hierachies will persist regardless. Hmmmm...

University changes are out of control: for those thinking about publishing work now (which is weird to think about), how important do you think current publishing hierarchies will be in near future? I'm thinking audience and distribution and impact maybe more important? Not sure.

@aggyk Oh i love this.

Sole traders, there is nothing you need to do for 'mutual' obligations. At all. Ignore your job agency unless they are helpful and make you feel good. #KnowYourRights

@AusUnemployment Thanks for this and all the work yr doing. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

Penalties are back starting today, 28 September. But it doesn't mean the fight to protect our rights and defend against bad job agency behaviour stops. Read + share this thread to see which 'mutual' obligations you do and don't have to agree to. #KnowYourRights

Our top economists are pushing for boosts to JobSeeker and investment in social housing over tax cuts. But will the government listen to them - or to their same old cronies promising their same old fake trickle-down benefits? 🤔 theconversation.com/top-economists…

Reading @valariekaur on how collective grief builds the connection we need in order to fight injustice, and am again humbled by the leadership of Yapa, who brought the community together to fight for #JusticeForWalker and reminded of the importance of continuing to show up.

Don’t dress for the job you want, dress for the job your particular blend of mental illnesses makes you uniquely suited for.

@abcnews Sure, excellence culture is toxic, but other groups of young people, facing more complex pressures with less resources are expected to act immaculately & incarcerated when they act up. Theirs are the stories we need to hear. Rich white folks have enough sympathy & free passes.

@Brocklesnitch @JosephoEarp Gosh, I spent my teens watching the x files and trying to work out who I wanted to be and who I wanted to make out with. This picture is both a representation of that struggle and its resolution 💖

@NunkeriD Gosh! These are BEAUTIFUL!
