I'm just dipping back into this space to remind everyone that women don't lie about this shit. We couldn't in our worst dreams come up with what men chasing fame, and the machine that supports them, says is ok.
Women don't lie about this shit. Not at scale.
Really hoping the @NTEU national makes a powerful statement about anti-Semitism now. And starts to act on it.
This is one of the best pieces of research I've ever done. I could not have brought this to the impact it's had without without my co-author and co-pilot @VejuneZem and team. To have it recognised like this is amazing.

Tomorrow we all say "see you later" to my brother. His light was simply too bright to be contained by our world for too long.

10K+ hotel workers went on strike. 11K TV & movie writers are striking with 160K actors. Up to 150K UAW workers are ready to strike. 340K UPS workers are preparing to walk off the job – which could be the largest single-employer strike in U.S. history.

Dominated by Big 4 and fossil fuel interests, the Board of Taxation (which advises Treasury etc) quietly sacked. Time to get conflicted interests out of our tax machinery including ending the revolving door that puts Big 4 people at the helm of govt depts. theklaxon.com.au/ztem-47/
