My morning inspo was listening to Ken Gelder talk about the new book he's written with Rachael Weaver about Australian colonial adventures (and the continuation of the colonial state). I have this book, it is great! Ripping yarns situated in solid theory = kryptonite. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
