Have thoughts about queer museums, queerness in museums, or just plain being queer in museums? We'd love to hear from you. Early findings are turning out to be amazing, and we hope it helps museums do better. mqedu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... @alanaaaab.bsky.social #Queer #Museums #QueerMuseums

I also have something really nice to share, the first article from our hi vis workwear and workers project is out — a collaboration with Jesse Adams Stein and Bettina Frankham, all from the Faculty of Design & Society at @utsengage.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

If anyone here has ever used my research (book, chapters, articles) in their teaching could you send me the details of where and how so I can document 'research impact' better for my institution. Could be on neoliberalism, unions, heat and climate change, anything. Many thanks!

"Readers will no doubt see the irony in a cash-strapped organisation paying an independent consultant for three months to provide strategies for financial viability, only to ignore the findings on the grounds of financial viability."

Who killed Meanjin?

And why won’t Melbourne University Publishing engage with efforts to save it?

crikey.com.au

Pleased to see the widespread outcry - Meanjin is an important publication. I was so happy they published my piece about the West Gate Bridge disaster and the workers who were killed, based on my research with Sarah Gregson. Read it here or DM me for access: meanjin.com.au/essays/mud/

My collaborator Sarah and I arrive early at the Public Records Office in North Melbourne. No pens allowed, no water, no bags, put everything in the lockers over there, security tells us firmly. We …

Thanks for this collective little bit of joy people, that was fun #hottest100

Never Tear us Apart is my fav and was my pick for number 1. No notes, it’s such a brilliant piece. The video was gorgeous too #hottest100

Yay for the Veronicas, I like a surprise like this #hottest100

Back to back. What perfection!

Was sure Flame Trees would make the list

I love this song. Love it. No particular memory attached just obsessed with it. And I have Doechii’s Anxiety rework coming on vinyl this month from @suffragetterecords.bsky.social in Hobart (such an awesome store btw everyone) #hottest100

Update on @lizgiuffre.bsky.social’s Mr 5 and how his #hottest100 & AC/DC obsession is going: “Now in his souths gear for the game - he might implode”

This song is so great! Also it was the chosen anthem to the s11 protests on the blockades against the World Economic Forum in 2000 and I can can remember singing / shouting it with people on the protests. Awesome times #hottest100

What even is this and how is this the highest electronica we’ve heard 😑😑😑 #hottest100

Beds are Burning is THE BEST! I was at the Diesel and Dust tour concert in 1987 with a friend when I was 14 (row 3 tickets thanks Dad 🙏). My first concert and the first time I did something in the city (mostly*) with friends #hottest100

The only thing related to Tame Impala I really like is the Wiggles cover song. I don’t get them #hottest100
