Really appreciate this. We’ve loved doing it. Three queer Indigenous people up so far…9 more to go in the first series.

Just gonna say this: our families don't all hate or revile us as queer Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people aren't trying to find a way to alienate our families and friends. This white queer rendering of queer Aboriginal people as cast out by mob is ridiculous and a colonial fantasy. And racist.

I got a haircut. It feels so good. Now this is how trans people should be spending #TransgenderAwarenessWeek… having affirming care! ID: me in a selfie in my car with a fresh haircut.

Join us on Queer as… a podcast as we speak with Campbell X whose work deals with queer memory, desire and Blackness across the African diaspora through filmmaking, theatre and curation. He talks with us about #LandBack, trans bodies and the promise of ancestors. queer-as.org/a-podcast/ca...

At the heart of this work is the wealth of care, thought, innovation and support that exists in the practice of queer Indigenous creatives. Look it’s great that we have lists, but these are real people making incredible contributions, and I’m so grateful for that.

Blaqademics/Indigiqueers We made this for us to celebrate queer Indigenous scholarship lies, but it also counters the many non-Indigenous queer and gender studies scholars that tell us that they can’t find the work of any IndigiQueers. Here's a few hundred citations. queer-as.org/blaqademics/

Seen this morning, great advice. Unless you have food or help on offer just leave them alone. They are doing the best they can.

Where am I safe?': U.K. court ruling leaves trans people's lives in turmoil The U.K. Supreme Court ruled in April that "sex" refers to biological sex, and transgender people say the judgment has made them feel less safe. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Trans women are women. Pass it on.

This message from Palestinian journalist, Wael Al-Dahdouh, must echo across the world. Wael continued to report from occupied Gaza after his wife and children were killed by Israeli forces.

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Surely the point of a large institution is that some people working there understand finances and others understand other things, like physics and literature and how to maintain 10000 computers and how to stop students getting suicidally depressed. The problem is *not* that everyone can't do it all.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

The government has a choice: protect cultural rights and First Peoples’ data sovereignty — or cave to tech giants hungry for free labour and profit. To the government we say: our culture is not yours to give away. We must have a say in how it’s used.

First Peoples must be respected as rights-holders, not treated as data sources. Any use of our culture must be based on consent, control and compensation. Without that, AI becomes just another tool of colonial exploitation.

The Productivity Commission has suggested changes copyright law to let tech giants freely use creative work to train AI. This would allow exploitation of First Peoples’ intellectual and cultural property. Our culture is not “content” for governments to hand to tech companies.

Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples. This year’s theme focuses on AI. And right now, the government is considering letting AI companies use copyrighted Australian work — including First Peoples’ stories, art and language — without our consent. nit.com.au/07-08-2025/1...

The former Attorney General of Israel, Michael Benyair is now calling Israel's actions in Gaza genocide. "To eternal shame. Jews, who suffered a genocide 80 years ago, are committing genocide in Gaza. Shame, rage, and sorrow"

That 15% reciprocal looks pretty good for a lot of states within the EU. I guess they can’t crow about it for obvious reasons but I think places like Ireland that have exports at three times the rate of imports w/ the US, they must have some sense of relief.

Next Friday a number of us are gathering in Sydney to remember the life of Dr Wendy Brady who died last month. If you knew Wendy I hope you make it to USyd. Details are: University of Sydney, Gadigal Centre, John Woolley Building (A20) on August 1st, starting at 11am.

For Mob, we really want to hear from you!

“Gender critical” by ensuring gender presentation and gender roles are policed. Slow hand clap to all involved

Young trans people’s deaths are being IGNORED by @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social while he removes lifesaving healthcare from trans youth, based on ideologically driven transphobia and/or desire for power! 😖

Why do we care about some people who go missing in the bush, but ignore others? 🤔 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Happy Non-binary People’s Daaaaaay! Stuff: - there are older people who are non-binary. - there are Indigenous people who are non-binary (but we’re not your ‘proof of concept’). - the binary is a key element of the colonial project of gender. -we’re an integral part of our community.

Meanwhile, what do families do? Maybe they emigrate (as I suggested a year ago) given Labour's revealed policy is 'cleanse Britain of the stain of transness.' But the families hit hardest, those without money to insulate them, don't have that choice. And for them life is almost literally unliveable.

If anyone else is threatened by Kathleen Stock - or any of those other GCs who love free speech so much they have defamation lawyers on speed dial - please do get in touch. We employ a full time lawyer to fend off this intellectually dishonest bullshit.

Thanks Sandy for inc one of my articles journal.media-culture.org.au/index.php/mc... in your list. Folks can find many of my other free to access works via ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0001-81... & ResearchGate & other sites. I’m working on updating & uploading many more online over the next 24 mths.

Huge news. This is a win for the artistic community who collectively rejected this racist censorship from the start and never let up - particularly Khaled’s peers who refused to take up the poisoned pavilion. Solidarity in action.

When we say that TERFs are not man haters, that transmisogyny isn't a result of misandry, it's because we are fully aware that TERFs don't really mind cisgender men physically controlling women they don't like, & their so called "single sex" lesbian spaces are spaces for male violence against women.

I’m happy to see Prof @veronikakoller.bsky.social, Dr Jessica Aiston, Dr @alexiconartist.bsky.social & Dr Mark McGlashan challenging both Ofcom and The Guardian’s portrayal of the manosphere as benign. You can read their letter here: tinyurl.com/mtktjcrb

On this day in 1978, the rainbow flag first flew as a symbol of pride. It was raised at San Francisco Gay Freedom Day.

MAGA Is Waging an All-Out War on Family Liberty. From forced births to bans on gender-affirming care for minors, the new authoritarian right seeks total state control over intimate family decisions.

1. After the Skrmetti decision, the New York Times has published 6 articles dancing on the graves of trans youth and spreading disinformation on care. It was cited 7 times in the ruling. Read my latest on what will be a black stain on the NYT for a generation. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Quick interruption from my articles update to just post this photo. Next month it will be 24 years since Dad died. There is a complexity around relationships, always. But this represents a third photo in which Dad and I exist. I'd never seen this before. I'm blonde. Lol.

A note that I am only posting articles I've read. Yes, all are led by Indigenous academics, not with an Indigenous person as the fifth author (which have been a lot of suggestions). If you don't know why, I'm beyond explaining it (though many of these articles do that). #201FirstNationsArticles

I've been asked why a thread with Indigenous scholarship matters. If you knew how often we are written about, while our own contribution is not considered, or if you knew how often people say there are no Indigenous scholars in their field, when they do exist, I hope it would chill you. That's why.

Another break on this. Will pick up again tomorrow and every day until we reach 201... then we might start again.

Great thread. This is the future wanted by the current UK Govt. They’ve started by #TakingThePIP and associated carers payments, they are rushing VAD legislation through with scant consultation and we all know the NHS is already under pressure from ‘bed blockers’ as the social care system is broken

Why indeed.

Just a final post about this two year anniversary since my sister Gina went into the hereafter and onto her own Dreaming. Gina made the world a better place by being in it. We’re all better for her having been here.

Marie Coleman is a national treasure! So glad to get her involved with #SundayShot. Hope you can join us this Sunday at 9am #auspol
