Important thread on how Abbott thinks the racist vibes straight from his own raw onion are more reliable than the First Nations oral histories extensively backed up by white science

poor old Tony Abbott is on the public broadcaster dismissing the oldest and longest continuous oral histories in the history of humanity as “hearsay” how’s your morning going.

These guys are absolutely going to shoot more people.

They’ve already killed one man, shot a woman, and we’ve seen a pattern of pulling firearms on unarmed people doing nothing violent or illegal over the past few weeks.

Clearly they do not care at all about the temporary restraining orders.

I sat down to begin researching/writing a paper I am set to deliver (low stakes) at the end of the month. Came to in the laundry de cobwebbing and sorting out storage for Who Gives a Crap. I do not remember the transition. Now I'm on Bluesky telling the void. Things are going well. #PhD

When the perpetrator of genocide decides to not genocide as much, and shakes hands with their arms dealer, it's not a peace plan. Factor in the plans for developers, and you have end-stage capitalism; eradication for profit, then stealing the land to make more money off of. WTF

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

"All arts and cultural value reporting has its limitations. But it’s time to properly recognise forms of value beyond price. What’s more, assessments of broader cultural value need to be routinely accessible and visible, to a broad range of stakeholders."
What is the value of Meanjin? We’ve done some calculations – and it’s not about money
New research considers the true value of Meanjin, using publicly available data. The journal has trained generations of Australian writers and editors.
