Why is the '200 word compound sentence, so full of incongruous citations and repeated phrases that you cry in despair as you reread it' not taught as an essential component of the #academicwriting process?

@gindaanis Tuck & Yang's essay has been one of the most transformative reads of my PhD, illuminating my "moves to innocence" and the centrality of land and wealth theft in settler colonialism.

"Place for me is the locus of desire" wrote Lucy Lippard
Me too. In beautiful and troubling ways.
So I'm very excited about the @RegionalArtsAus Regional Arts Assembly, connecting regional #artists for a whole year of conversations about #place.

"It’s curious, in the chaos of conversations about what we ought to do to save the world, how seldom sheer modesty comes up — living smaller, staying closer, having less — especially for us in the ranks of the privileged" https://t.co/RpBjzIsjmF

@bicycleuser I've found it entirely liberating not to have to worry about scopus and rankings. Im more interested in being part of conversations that make kin, and i don't really feel that academic journals offer me this.

[Kelly Lee Hickey @kellyleehickey]

@aggyk Oh i love this.

Sole traders, there is nothing you need to do for 'mutual' obligations. At all.

Ignore your job agency unless they are helpful and make you feel good. #KnowYourRights

@AusUnemployment Thanks for this and all the work yr doing. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻

[Dr Desirée Kozlowski @Pleasure_Lab]

Our top economists are pushing for boosts to JobSeeker and investment in social housing over tax cuts.

But will the government listen to them - or to their same old cronies promising their same old fake trickle-down benefits? 🤔

Reading @valariekaur on how collective grief builds the connection we need in order to fight injustice, and am again humbled by the leadership of Yapa, who brought the community together to fight for #JusticeForWalker and reminded of the importance of continuing to show up.

[AUWU @AusUnemployment]

Penalties are back starting today, 28 September.

But it doesn't mean the fight to protect our rights and defend against bad job agency behaviour stops.

Read + share this thread to see which 'mutual' obligations you do and don't have to agree to. #KnowYourRights

@abcnews Sure, excellence culture is toxic, but other groups of young people, facing more complex pressures with less resources are expected to act immaculately & incarcerated when they act up. Theirs are the stories we need to hear. Rich white folks have enough sympathy & free passes.

@Brocklesnitch @JosephoEarp Gosh, I spent my teens watching the x files and trying to work out who I wanted to be and who I wanted to make out with. This picture is both a representation of that struggle and its resolution 💖

[Kelly Lee Hickey @kellyleehickey]

@NunkeriD Gosh! These are BEAUTIFUL!
