@camerontw We will have to scheme on this. I'm taking 6 weeks leave after this week, so will have some time to catch up about it.

Oh dear. Back in 2018, the very clever @kathleenazali translated 'Design Activism in an Indonesian Village'. @mitpress has a 6-month embargo period before republishing, I completely forgot to release it into the world until today. Nikmatilah!

@camerontw You know I've got to say social practice theories on designing 😛

New NT Senator Jacinta Price is on the far-right of the LNP. She has regularly shared material from nazi-adjacent groups to promote bigotry against trans people, Muslims, Aboriginal people and others. It’s gunna be a wild ride now she has a massive national platform!

There is a hope now! A hope for thousands of refugees that have been apart from their families, a hope to those families that kept waiting for safety & reunion & a hope for thousands of young refugees here in Australia.
Thanks Australians! What a night 🎉

[Alexandra Crosby 艾丽 @digijalanjalan]

Yep! @ilariavanni is a champion 🏆

More than 10 armed Israeli military goons attack a 13-year-old deaf Palestinian girl in Jerusalem. These outrages are routine and have been perpetrated for over 70 years.

Where is the outrage in the British corporate media? Why do our politicians stay silent?

Now that I’ve been out and free, it’s more and more clear that the Australian detention system is built on lies, rumours, fear and secrets to treat innocent people with cruelty.

Australia has been singled out by Transparency International for ‘systemic failings in tackling public sector corruption’.
Morrison government rorts have gone beyond individual scandals to become something far worse - the strategic wrecking of our system of government:

The Pentagon claims Russia has fired over 625 missiles at Ukraine in the past two weeks. That figure is meant to shock you.

If it does, note that Israel is reported to have fired the same number of shells into a single neighbourhood of Gaza *in one hour* during its 2014 attack

BREAKING now on @Abc730: The federal government did not fund more than $150m in flood mitigation projects sought by state and territory projects, including a "priority" upgrade to Queensland's early flood warning infrastructure

[Abigail Disney @abigaildisney]

THREAD 1/While I'm on the subject of Disney funding anti-gay legislators, it is important to point out that they are funding them not because they are anti-gay (they don't actually care that mch about that) but because they are "pro-business."What does it mean to be pro-business?
