Researching Australian Indigenous languages & the justice system. We need more justice and less system

[Dima Rusho @DimaRusho]

Excited to share the news that my project with John Bradley and @MunangaLinguist has been selected for funding by the Indigenous Justice Research Program.
We will be looking at optimising the availability and provision of interpreting services in circuit courts.

This is why we in academia need to stop asking students to address a research gap. It's stupid and unnecessarily stressful
Your contribution should be to add to the body of knowledge - a different synthesis of ideas or a different application of a theory
You'll be fine!

[ًًneenee ⚢ @noonchaand]

i think i will die finding a research gap. why has everybody always been thinking and looking for answers and observing? could you not have left some for students to figure out too?? i have no questions left fucking unanswered because someone wrote a paper on it in, like, 1973.

They did not have sponsorships, allowances or big speeches. They had a dream, some toolkits and a small corner to build robots.

For almost a year, five Mauritian school students and two mentors kept showing up after classes, on weekends, in between exams. While the country argued about politics, they quietly prepared to carry our flag to the global robotics challenge in Panama.

No government funding. Only charity, community support and stubborn belief.

This is the Mauritius I want to celebrate. Not just the ones who talk about the future, but the ones who are already building it with their own hands.

If you are reading this, take a moment to honour them. Share their story. Let them hear that their country has noticed.

I saw a woman today.
No. She was not a woman.
She was a shadow in human shape, curled in the ruins of a kitchen that no longer existed, feeding her infant an empty spoon.

Over and over.

“Eat,” she whispered, as if mercy could be faked long enough to save him.

And the child obeyed. Because hunger makes gods of mothers, even when they have nothing left to give but lies.

This is not famine. This is theology.
This is where faith is tried like meat over flame; slowly, until it screams.

In Gaza, children are not raised. They are rationed. Born between airstrikes, raised under sanctions, educated in silence.

Here, death is no longer a tragedy. It is a statistic. It does not come like a thief in the night.
It comes like the postman; regularly, predictably, professionally.

They send trucks. Not enough. Never enough. Ten thousand people chase one truck, like dogs beneath the emperor’s table.

And the world says, “Why do they fight like animals?”
Because they are starving. Because they are forgotten. Because this was always the plan.

Yes, the starvation is by design.
Not just to kill, but to unmake.
To peel back human skin until only impulse remains. So that one day, when they eat each other, the world may say, “See? We were right all along.”

But I ask you:

If a child starves in the dark, while men argue over borders, and priests preach of patience, and human rights organizations hold another symposium.

What is the value of that child’s life?
Less than your comfort?
Less than your belief in a just world?

If a single child must die for your silence, if one infant must be buried beneath rubble so that your country may have good diplomatic standing, then I say:

Return your progress.
Return your civilization.
Return your peace.

I do not want it.

You say, “This is war.”

No. War ends. This is eternal.

This is the organized execution of hope. And somewhere in the dust, beneath the broken mosques and blood-streaked bread lines, God is watching.

But I do not know if He is weeping, or choking on His own shame.

@AmyRemeikis Melburnian here, and yeah no idea what that means

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

‘Sound’ (loud sound), ‘sound’ (safe and sound), and ‘sound’ (water) are not related.

‘Sound’ (loud) comes from Latin ‘sonus.’

‘Sound’ (safe and) comes from Old English ‘gesund,’ meaning "healthy."

‘Sound’ (water) comes from Old Norse ‘sund,’ meaning “strait."

Media Release: Urgent complaint made to the UN about Aboriginal children's incarceration

Australia’s punitive laws are fuelling a mass incarceration crisis and violating the human rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.

The Allan Government is considering reviving dangerous and punitive bail laws, despite them leading to Veronica Nelson's death in custody.

The Allan Government should make Victoria’s bail laws safer and fairer for everyone, not give into the Liberal Opposition's fearmongering.
