Fair to say there is some extreme interest in Geelong’s so-called corpse plant, or ‘amorphophallus titanum’, for those playing at home. It flowers every decade and lasts just 24-48 hours. Those on the way out of the botanic gardens report dry-retching.

pretty much every meeting today started with an update on the corpse flower 🤓 🧟‍♂️ 🌹

We can’t say we didn’t know

@colourful_hist looks like a great team and project! ✊️

OK, Harvard SUSPENDED 25 professors from the library for silently studying materials about Palestine with signs saying "Embrace Diverse Perspectives." I don't think these new university rules are working. Do you? thecrimson.com/article/2024/1…

One of the more frustrating things about research that *includes* Indigenous people, is that it's so often measuring us against non-Indigenous folks. It rarely talks about what we want, need, or hope for in our future.

i keep thinking about Sophie Rudolph's excellent piece in @OverlandJournal from June, which helps me (and others i reckon!) to think through our role as educators in dealing with claims of feeling unsafe from those who are in truth actually quite safe overland.org.au/2024/06/workin…

Census : Repost of IG statement by @transcend_aust, who are no longer on this hellsite. 6 images follow in tweet + reply. 1/2

Albanese marks #WearItPurpleDay by announcing trans and intersex people will be excluded from the census, despite promising to fix this issue for years. Thanks mate.

Lord help me if I see a single Labor politician in purple tomorrow
