I'll be voting YES! Because I want to live in a country that recognises 65,000 years of Indigenous culture in our constitution. Listening through a Voice means we'll work together to create a better future. https://t.co/yrB9hIyOZm #VoteYES #yes23 @yes23au

COVID isn't over. We must continue to do all we can to prevent further pressure on our healthcare system & the nurses, midwives & carers who hold it together. It's a risk to remove mandatory isolation for the general community who test positive for COVID. https://t.co/sGPRQBMmbw

The Queensland Govt must stop culling sharks like this grey nurse - a Critically Endangered species - in the name of beach safety. I support non-lethal solutions. Remove shark nets and drumlines today.

Look how this lovebird strips the leaves removing each midvein to tuck amongst its feathers for safe keeping...

rather than taking each piece home separately, this is a more efficient way of gathering and transporting nest building material

@so_s @so_s oh that's tough. But you're tough too and i hope some more options appear for you soon. I've been out of circulation then
back on Twitter recently and shocked to find out what you've been going through but amazed at what you're doing with this for others. Off to witchery..

As someone supervising a PhD on how emotion and affect are construed through wording, vocalisation, facial expression and other 'body language' (go Lilián Ariztimuño!) I agree. Not simple. Context dependent. Big Leap. Hubris. Dangerous. @AsflaNet @ShooshiDreyfus

Can Dogs Be Happy and Healthy Vegans? (updated)

A new study suggests that vegan diets are healthier and safer for dogs and may also positively affect their psychological well-being.

In for minor proc this week, I was collected by my anaesthetist while still reading - David Brooks' Turin. Later there was an ADRENALINE sticker strip marking where I'd left off! #thankyou #personcentred << I like this over #humancentred cos it allows animals in - Ch 31 for why.

@KateMfD @strategywoman Did you paint that yourself? But srsly what a beauty!

[Alison Moore @AlisonRotha]

Go Kit! Your stance is a great tonic against going with the flow.

I may be the only person in the university still doing it, but while covid rates are sky high I'm going to continue to lecture in my mask in order to protect myself and my students.

i propose a single large omnibus degree named 'Bachelor of Job'

Fascinating variation/consistency here! I still love Ruqaiya Hasan’s 'Nursery Tale as Genre' on this conundrum. Different wordings yet similar meanings eg narrator & audience can't be dramatis personae–except in Iraqw!

@chellebalez @UOW @education_brand Great talk Rachelle, particularly the point about tweeting colleagues' work! Thank you.

[Alison Moore @AlisonRotha]

@ihrahman @UOW @education_brand Thanks Ibrahim - very useful and practical! I've been a conscientious twitter objecter, but am coming around to its strategic usefulness 🙂
