Let's win Reid and win government for Labor!

If each day of the NSW and Vic lockdowns is costing us $200 million. 4 days of that could’ve paid for enough Pfizer to vaccinate everyone. #insiders #VaccineStrollout

Hey @NetflixANZ we're so excited to hear you're looking to diversify your content. Now, will you lead a transformation in TV and make a financial commitment to projects led by First Nations and people of colour creatives? https://t.co/FdD29sqjO4

You want to know something about this photo?

I was 11 and in so much pain because I my feet were so flat that my arches had collapsed and I was walking on the bones in my ankle.

Just because a disabled person is smiling doesn’t mean they aren’t experiencing pain.

Having spent this working week in the eden Monaro electorate and chatting, as I do about politics and current affairs with my pharmacy customers, there is a lot of love for @KristyMcBain and incredible disdain for the LNP. 💪

While we are on the topic of diversity, I don't understand why @SBS, our only multicultural broadcaster, has so many non-CALD editors and people in positions of power. We have more than enough CALD talent in Australia to run the shop. Please explain?

Ableism is literally killing you and the worst part is many of you won’t even realize it until you’re disabled yourself.

@KharaJabola is saying such 🔥 🔥 things rn, inc "Why is it only Feminism is asked to be Intersectional? All movements should be Intersectional.", I really hope someone else remembered to take notes bc I was too busy clicking

All movements need to be intersectional! #VirtualProgress2020

@keraoregan I've only just made it to the Caucases and first and last plenary. I think organisers are working on transcripts and video tho

[Nicola @peacenicsta]

As I see it grassroots activism is about sharing the mike. Building up next gens and training them, always looking to make yourself redundant. Every action should be learning. Not the same person on the mike, over and over again.

In fact shouldnt this be the default way we roll?

[Australian Progress @ausprogress]

Evaluate your ideas of intelligence and capacity in whatever movement your are building with different people @Imani_Barbarin #DisabilityJustice #VirtualProgress2020

For what it’s worth, I think this is a wider conversation about White Gatekeepers in the film industry. Syd Film Fest CHOSE Mukbang to feature in SFF. They CHOSE Mukbang for the award. They’re complicit in elevating the film. SFF still have not apologised or made a statement 1/6

So, yeah. Read your contracts, insist on being paid for your work and don't do too much of the "work for exposure" thing. <-- advice from an artist who might be more successful if he did all the free work he was asked for by businessmen/gatekeepers/other artists who are jackoffs

Wow look at the diversity on @sunriseon7 - 4 #whitewomen talking about the #coronavirus #COVIDー19 and no doubt making insensitive racial comments. This is what #Australia deems diverse? #newspoll #auspoI #CoronaVirusUpdate
