Oh dear. Back in 2018, the very clever @kathleenazali translated 'Design Activism in an Indonesian Village'. @mitpress has a 6-month embargo period before republishing, I completely forgot to release it into the world until today. Nikmatilah!

New NT Senator Jacinta Price is on the far-right of the LNP. She has regularly shared material from nazi-adjacent groups to promote bigotry against trans people, Muslims, Aboriginal people and others. It’s gunna be a wild ride now she has a massive national platform!

There is a hope now! A hope for thousands of refugees that have been apart from their families, a hope to those families that kept waiting for safety & reunion & a hope for thousands of young refugees here in Australia.
Thanks Australians! What a night 🎉

More than 10 armed Israeli military goons attack a 13-year-old deaf Palestinian girl in Jerusalem. These outrages are routine and have been perpetrated for over 70 years.

The Pentagon claims Russia has fired over 625 missiles at Ukraine in the past two weeks. That figure is meant to shock you.
If it does, note that Israel is reported to have fired the same number of shells into a single neighbourhood of Gaza *in one hour* during its 2014 attack

THREAD 1/While I'm on the subject of Disney funding anti-gay legislators, it is important to point out that they are funding them not because they are anti-gay (they don't actually care that mch about that) but because they are "pro-business."What does it mean to be pro-business?

Suddenly, boycott & sanctions are a legitimate strategy. No ‘why are you singling out Russia’ arguments, no whataboutism, no claims that boycott harms prospective peace & dialogue, that culture should be apolitical & about building bridges rather than being divisive.

Can you imagine what it would be like having COVID locked up on your own with no shower, soap or change of clothes? This is happening in NSW prisons. #Prisoners suffer under punitive Covid-19 measures. My story today in The Saturday Paper thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…
