NSW has new sexual assault legislation in the pipleline plus a new sex ed curriculum. V. smart books from @amiasrinivasan, @KayEngels, #maggienelson and @thequeerjane (plus @MASieghart) all helped give me new ways to ponder the pitfalls of "consent" https://t.co/WU77G9wJDc

@Helenreflects This thread is great esp the tips te books and Youtube channels. Please post more! I want to become mathematically literate so I can help my kids.

[sarahpgilbert @sarahpgilbert]

@Helenreflects I was ok at maths until about year 9 when trigonometry defeated me. I never enjoyed maths. As an adult working on a tv show about physics I became fascinated, I understood hard things, and wondered why it had been taught so boringly.

@GrogsGamut Carey’s Theft: A Love Story is partly set here. I remember a wonderful passage where Hugh tears through the streets of Potts Point. A memorable novel.

There is actually quite a lot of research about racist attitudes in Australia. It's not flattering.

[sarahpgilbert @sarahpgilbert]

"In 2014, in the Beyond Blue survey of 1000 non-Indigenous people throughout Australia, 21% would move away if an Indigenous person sat nearby; 37% think Indigenous Australians are lazy; and 20% feel okay with racist labels for Indigenous Australians."

[sarahpgilbert @sarahpgilbert]

The 2020 Reconciliation Barometer conducted found that only 30% of Australians had high trust towards Indigenous people: https://t.co/8irHkPlSa0

@MichelleArrow1 They are the root of all evil? And pose a particular moral danger to young women?

[sarahpgilbert @sarahpgilbert]

I'm voting Yes in the upcoming referendum. To me, Voice is a workable, modest change to our constitution that opens up a way to positive change for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people and for all of us who live here. Meet me in the park on Sunday! https://t.co/oRTlvzlkPT

@MoiraDonegan @vanderhoofy What’s the book?

[Pearls and Irritations @johnmenadue]

Wikileaks: widely imitated by copycats like the New York Times and the ABC, who never defended Assange or his journalism, and treat his outrageous persecution as the normal outcome of a justice system.
