I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

Possibly the best thing I've read about ChatGPT yet. h/t @melaniemitchell.bsky.social amandaguinzburg.substack.com/p/diabolus-e...

Russell T Davies:

The Doctor Who finale was something, alright! Hmmmmm

This morning I noticed the interview Nasser Mashni gave to ABC yesterday was quietly pulled from the ABC website without explanation. As the horror in Gaza escalates, it looks like ABC has chosen to supress a crucial Palestinian voice. The ABC should explain why. www.crikey.com.au/2025/05/27/n...

The most unrealistic thing about Andor (minus the whole space/alien thing) is that Luthen thinks that a good wig is enough of a disguise lmao

…it's raining again and I forgot to bring my washing in 🫩

Another Australian cultural institution failing to uphold its own values. Another person punished and silenced for opposing war crimes. Another cultural institution that doesn’t have the bravery to speak honestly about its straight up censorship. Weak as piss. www.slq.qld.gov.au/about/news-a...

What we send. My @smh @theage cartoon.

It's IDAHOBIT today (17 May) and all I can think about is the increase in discrimination around the world against LGBTIQA+ people, especially against trans folks.

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Currently watching My Choices, My Rights: A Conversation on LGBTIQA+ rights in palliative care, hosted by Palliative Care Victoria. Featuring talks from the LGBTIQA+ Commissioner (Joe Ball), Justice Q (Kavitha Sivasamy) and Palliative Care Victoria.

Whoopsie, somehow I signed up to two very interesting webinars on LGBTQ+ Palliative Care this evening! Luckily, one is going to be recorded and I'll be able to return to it at a later time.

✨Announcing Picturing Grief: a collaborative project with Projecting Grief✨ Projecting Grief have produced a series of images to raise awareness of our Grief Survey: a rich searchable database of first-person testimonies of grief. (1/2)

For everyone who was like “Google search is getting worse,” we were absolutely right.

The $3m ANU consulting contracts designed to ensure 'profit' began life just 17 days after new VC Geneveive Bell started. Was Council ever told the restructure plans were being designed in haste by a private firm? Council minutes don't suggest so. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/educati...

Even if Duolingo is helping you as it once did me, deleting your account is the only correct move right now. The company posted record profits, but capitalist greed means they're killing jobs, lowering quality, and will be creating an increasingly inferior experience for increasingly higher prices.

Noting for anyone in Australia who use Estradot patches.

Soc jobseekers! I have some good news for the coming application season. We just got approval for a fall 2025 tenure-track search in sociology at Lafayette College! Please reskeet the good news and watch this space and the ASA job board for the official ad this summer.

Why is it that when I search almost every Midwestern emo band the second suggested search is "[band name] controversy"? Can white cis emo men stop sucking PLEASE? 🫠

Feminist and trans folk have been united on how sexual violence is a pervasive problem in our society. Yet, some would have you think that cis women sharing space with trans women in public is the gravest risk to women’s rights. Ending men’s violence against women, cis and trans, demands solidarity.

I've been reflecting some more overnight on the For Some Women Scotland case. 🧵

If you’re doing the “trans men in women’s toilets” gotcha, 1) you’re making what was always a crap argument 2) you’re revealing that you haven’t read the UK Supreme Court judgment because it says trans men aren’t allowed in women’s spaces (because we look like men) OR men’s spaces

The Israeli military has completed trials of an advanced weapon designed and built by Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS). It can strike targets up to 2km away. Albo is still claiming Australia doesn't export weapons to Israel www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

I'm recruiting LGBTQ+ young people for research interviews about TikTok & peer-based mental health support. Participants must be aged 16-25, LGBTQ+, AUS-based. $50 voucher. This follows up findings from the Digital Peer Support study. Info & register at digitalpeersupport.com/news/ Please share! 😊

I made the switch to Tidal for a number of reasons, but the pay for artists is one of them. I also try and buy albums on Bandcamp too. I really want to read Liz Pelly's 'Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist'!
