1/ I’m an Israeli academic. My community is too silent about the ongoing war in Gaza. Here is how I see things based on reading hundreds of articles and watching thousands of videos and images about the war. This tweet chain contains my conclusions as a sort of executive summary.

Hey Australia, all I want for my birthday is for everyone to #VoteYes in the #VoiceToParliament referendum. Nothing says happy birthday like constitutional change!

Australians will hold an October vote on a proposed law to create a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament. The legislation is aimed at giving the nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policy. https://t.co/SZWKHaM4pQ

@HilaryMatfess Do things you enjoy by yourself that take longer than an hour. If you’re planning on breastfeeding, breaks between feeds are usually short in the early days & don’t allow you to do these things. Wander round a museum, go for a forest walk, read a book on a beach, see a movie, etc

Final keynote of D1 @LassiLinnanen lists top 3 environmental problems of Anthropocene as: 1. Materialism 2. Asymmetrical power relations 3. Lock-in of exploitative and extractive systems (he adds, not climate change not biodiversity loss; these are symptoms not causes) #SSD2023

@AcademiaObscura Identifying narcissists and avoiding working with them where possible

@MenryWY I’m writing something at the moment about vulnerability (and the possibility of harm) in the context of just transitions, and this applies very much to future generations and non-human species because we’re essentially deciding for them without their input.

I love how the lead up to #IWD each year provides so much fodder for the @PayGapApp

[Gender Pay Gap Bot @PayGapApp]

In this organisation, women's median hourly pay is 16.7% lower than men's.

@MenryWY No, but I’d love to read it!

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n
