Today is the last day of the Future Fellowship I’ve been doing for the last 5 years. If any work we’ve done in thinking about queer n Indigenous lives, creativity, the colonial project of gender and everything else has had an impact on your work or life I’d love to hear from you.

Showing now at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art, Not a Souvenir forces us to confront Australia’s colonial kitsch culture. @sandyosullivan @Macquarie_Uni theconversation.com/not-a-so…

What are we even doing? LET TRANS PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES. Leave them alone. Stop making laws about them. Stop obsessing about them. They are just people trying to get through the day like everyone else. Their trans-ness does not affect you in any way. STOP HARASSING THEM. STOP.

If we gave trans teens puberty blockers, we would reduce:
- Top surgery
- Facial feminisation surgery
- Tracheal shave
- Voice therapy
- Height dysphoria
- Period dysphoria
- Poor mental health
- The opportunity for baddies to be mean
Let’s start accepting that some trans youth ask for and need medical support.

BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything.

Please read this thread! First Nations' writer Ren Wyld's award and prize were rescinded this morning in another extraordinary and brazen case of ministerial interference in collaboration with Murdoch's The Australian all because of REN's solidarity with Palestinians and opposition to Israel's genocide. Shameful.

I’m sure there’ll be a story that international students in the Class of 2029 @Harvard will tell about the time their institution stood up to a tyrant by co-enrolling them at leading global institutions… and teaching them anyway.
