I'll be voting for the #Greens, who have consistently stood against genocide, environmental vandalism, and suppression of speech. Consider what your vote will be supporting.

This is untrue and nobody's buying it. Scott Morrison-level gaslighting.

Dear god. It also promises that it "authentically represents your capabilities", which is an interesting way of saying "creates a hollow simulacrum of academic output". #AcademicSky

Well to the surprise of absolutely NOBODY, the Australian University Census on Staff Wellbeing found that the sector is (to put it mildly) a bit fucked when it comes to psychosocial safety climate, with 44% of respondents in a very high risk environment. #AcademicSky
Support your favourite museums, chums. Buy all their merch, visit all their exhibitions and tell all your friends, because when you support good museums, they bless you with the most vital information and critical historical context. We have been blessed this day.
Vagina Museum@vaginamuseum.bsky.social · 7mo agoWith #Bridgerton back on our screens, let's revisit a classic thread. Queen Charlotte included a scene of King George III eating pussy. So it falls upon us, dear readers, to answer the crucial question: is it historically accurate? Did King George III eat pussy?

Shit like this is why I, as a lifetime Labor voter, straight up joined the Australian Greens last year. Yeah they're not perfect, but I'd rather be working with the people who want to make things better than the ones who want to pander to genocidal war criminals. #AusPol
The man has his hands up. He's easily in his 60s. And multiple cops are wailing on him, one with wide rights to the ribs. What the fuck country am I in right now? This is the sort of shit I expect from The US. #AusPol

Me, reading the Murderbot Diaries for the first time: Wow these are amazing, I wonder what it is that makes me love them so much? Me, reading the Murderbot Diaries last night: Emma you are a grumpy autistic with interoceptive issues and alexithymia. Take a wild guess.

I'm teaching today on working with the media in advocacy and BOY is it fun to make students read some unhinged recent news stories. We've had everything from natural disaster response to Manosphere T-peddlers! #AcademicSky
