Most grateful for this in-depth review of Heronbones. Thank you @bernardzuel.bsky.social

"There's even more space in The Heron (Two Sisters) which is airy, almost flighty, even as the murdering sibling ploughs through the ringing tone & marching banjo - 'Love does not make women free/Nor does murder bring peace to thee'." New @ruthhazleton.bsky.social www.bernardzuel.net/post/ruth-ha...

It's not that time is irrelevant with @ruthhazleton.bsky.social's gripping new album, it's that it stretches & bends to accommodate stories & sounds that remake your view of folk, & folks. www.bernardzuel.net/post/ruth-ha...

Really feeling this one right now

Agnes Sampson, a midwife and healer from North Berwick, was accused in 1590 of raising storms against King James VI’s fleet. Her trial reveals the tangled roots of folklore, politics, and misogyny in Scotland’s witch panic. #FolkloreThursday Image: Unknown author

If the Albanese government wanted a trade policy retaliation for the Trump tariffs, I’ve got just the thing: local content requirements for American content companies. Force Netflix to carry 25% Australian content for local audiences, or pay a big levy

'Did you even say thank you?'

A reminder for these times.

Have come to the conclusion that grant-writing is essentially a task in being able to reformat templates to answer hideously-worded questions, over-complicate simple project ideas and over-simplify complex creative process. I swore I’d not do this again, but here I am. #independentmusic

Sage advice, though we’re still waiting for Australia’s first confirmed witch bottle, and that becomes less and less likely with the passing of time. Apotropaic markings and concealed shoes, however, we have a wealth of these! #folklore #concealedshoes #witchbottle #Hexafoil

My excellent brilliant partner, Lorana Bartels, writes today that mandatory minimum sentences are bad policy. Applying this bad policy to the real problem of antisemitism and other hate crimes is particularly ironically stupid, as it undermines the rule of law. This shit will only make shit worse.

Hey @readifolkradio.bsky.social you might like the new release from @iamlukewatt.bsky.social - just an intro if you haven’t crossed paths already ✨🎶

Meta blues: The cognitive dissonance in reading about Trump, Musk, the state of Gaza, the brooding hysteria of an upcoming Australian election, reading about the appalling plight of arts workers and musicians… then being urged to buy a whisk-wiper. A. WHISK. WIPER.

I was privileged to be in the room for this session in Nov - the closing plenary: Truth-telling and Truth-receiving: Oral Testimony and the Yoorrook Justice Commission Seems the perfect day to share. Thank you @oralhistoryvic.bsky.social #AustraliaDay #DayofMourning #InvasionDay

A day where many of us sit with the profound ignorance and cruelty of our colonial and settler ancestors, holding space for Australia’s First Nations people, and vowing to do better. #AustraliaDay #InvasionDay #DayOfMourning #AlwaysWillBe

“Spotify is probably the worst thing that has happened to musicians,” says Bjork. ”The streaming culture has changed an entire society and an entire generation of artists.”

New to this space (digging it), a musician, looking for alternatives to Meta & X to promote. Are there alternatives to Facebook & Insta? Here? On the way? Surely creatives can’t be tethered to these arsehats forever. #folkmusic #banjo #indiemusic #rootsmusic #electronicmusic #nichemusic #trad

AI autocorrect of the day: ‘your foot being a spiked mouse’ (from ‘you’ve put me in a spot, now). Vastly more amusing than pondering the implications of world politics #oralhistorian

Every billionaire is a policy failure Every billionaire has extracted their wealth from the poor and the middle and the Earth Every billionaire is proof that capitalism is a destructive system that needs to be ended before it ends us Every billionaire should be taxed out of existence
