International Women’s Day has always been about collective action. From women workers marching in 1909 to today, it’s a day to demand equality. With hard-won rights under threat, backing feminist movements matters more than ever. Join us: https://loom.ly/YgXvRy8

This International Women’s Day, IWDA is celebrating the power of collective action, because lasting change is built collectively. When we stand in solidarity, we can move the mountain of gender inequality. Join the movement with us on this International Women's Day: https://loom.ly/YgXvRy8

I think it would be good for others to know they are not alone in that feeling.

I worry about seeming judgmental if I talk about not wanting to fly or use AI but now I’m wondering if it might support those who are making or pondering similar choices...

Gotye – Eyes Wide Open Eyes Wide Open was first released as a single in October 2010. The song also appeared on Gotye’s critically acclaimed 2011 album Making Mirrors, which went on to win a 2013 Grammy

Reminds me of @gotye.com’s song “Eyes Wide Open” which describes how I have felt since I heard about global warming in 1990.

Had a conversation with a young person yesterday about feeling alone when everyone around you is carrying on.

Quote from Tim Winton - Juice About us. The destroyers of worlds and futures.

"Every miracle came at a cost - a river poisoned, a people enslaved, a species or language expunged. It was a monster that devoured everything in its path, including its children. Then it gorged on the future, which is to say its children's children. Unwittingly at first. Then by design" #Climate

Attending an in person #shutupandwrite session today with colleagues.

I attended, and sometimes ran, a weekly session during my COVID #PhD but haven’t done one in person since 2019!

Hoping to write an introduction to my next paper. Wish me 🍀

Good morning, Shane!

Their mothers are Australian citizens who have the right to stand trial for any crimes they committed.

Indefinite detention in a foreign country is high price to pay for being young and dumb.

Great podcast which describes the hardships they have faced since.

The government just did what while we weren't looking? YouTube video by Guardian Australia

Proud to say I'm the ecologist Matilda Boseley is referring to re: quotes.

Minor correction, @australia.theguardian.com, it's greater gliders, not sugar gliders.

Great video, thank you!

Bill Bramhall cartoon.

Three frames. 1. Afro-American mother and and child walking along street, dressed for winter, behind them a silhouette of armed man. Child says, “Momma, who was Jesse Jackson?” Mother says, “He was a leading civil rights activist.” 2. Still walking along street, behind them silhouette of man holding up “ICE OUT” placard. 3. Still walking. Silhouette shows man from frame 1 seizing placard and aggressing man from frame 2. Child says “Momma, what were civil rights?”

Vale Jesse Jackson.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Not pictured, the fabulous shoes and bag I found at the op shop/thrift store…

…and the waistcoat I #upcycled from a pillowcase (also found at op shop).

Almost didn’t buy the hat ($7) when I saw it later in the week but went back the next day.

This followed us attending a murder mystery at a castle in medieval garb for our anniversary last year.

Paper authored by @mark-j-johnson.bsky.social and team.

This reminds me of a recent lecture by @carlrmay.bsky.social in which he highlighted the transfer of #labour from #healthcare services to care recipients and families.

If we designed and resourced services better would care navigation be necessary?

Wow.

A Systematic Review of Autistic Adults’ Experiences of Anxiety From a Qualitative Perspective - Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders - Many autistic adults experience anxiety in ways that are qualitatively unique when compared to the experiences of non-autistic adults.

Today in How to Make Autistic People's Lives Easier: Reduce uncertainty! Autistic anxiety—which can be debilitating—often happens because of unexpected changes or transitions, or unpredictability in social environments or daily routines.

❤️ this example of #codesign with #olderpeople & #primarycare providers of #communicationtraining, especially their focus on the process.

In the #ConversationsAboutCare project we hope to link #processevaluation findings to #implementation & #impact.

Our government crossed a line by inviting a war criminal - they can’t uncross it.

Best sign yet at the Melbourne protest against the visit of the war criminal Isaac Herzog, president of Israel:

We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country

Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

Next Monday 09Feb2026, Australians will protest Israeli President Herzog visiting Australia. Herzog has actively promoted genocide against the Palestinian people, even signing bombs to be dropped on Gaza. Please attend if you can. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

New research shows we could power the entire planet for a year if we put solar panels on the land currently used for biofuel. But if we used all that biofuel for aviation - we'd only fuel about 1/3 of flights. Biofuel isn't the fix. Reducing flying & consumption is.
