It is past time to address the dismissive (or worse) comments from managements about “staff wanting credit for every little thing they do”. It is both reasonable and fair, and likely the ONLY to address systems that over-allocate and under recognise to the benefit of uni budgets.

Where do women get their vote? Apparently, via a father or husband *that love them* (but nevertheless need to control them). No one is free, including pathetic patriarchs, until we are all free of this bullshit.

Rosemary in flower.

Her Majesty, Queen of Parrots and Empress of the Blue Mountain (we can’t surely keep calling her a female King Parrot).

Lawn party in a college town: Professor in creative writing mansplains me for 10 minutes straight on why price gouging laws lead to collapse of the market economy (of course entirely ignorant of my work). The joys of being young and female in academia meets the free market myth.

I wrote a new article for The Guardian Guardian Australia on overwork, workaholism and the right to disconnect. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Working too hard? You might an addict. Check out my article:

Excited (and a bit nervous) to have the chance to grow my engagement with Australian history by editing Australian Historical Studies with Martin and Carolyn Holbrook

Imagine if the entire population of Brisbane was compressed into 1/45th of the space. And then every person in it was forced to move around over and over while the hospital, university, schools, houses, were all bombed. That is Gaza right now.

Breaking news: Virtue Capitalists is now affordable. Since it’s shortlisting at the #NSWPHA the press has re-priced. Now under AU$50 Check it out: cambridge.org/au/universityp…

Have to admit the word that springs to mind is ‘scabs’.

Unless these people get a grip some time soon, we'll have the first one-term government since Scullin's.

It’s history week soon and I know everyone is excited. Add this to your list: Kate Laing, women pacifists and history at the pub in Blackheath events.humanitix.com/kate-laing-sis…

AI is scab tech. It's built off stolen & pauperised labour & designed to further degrade the work it apparently makes easy. It solves the problem of how to make a world in which everyone has time and space for creativity by circumscribing the idea of creativity to a button press.

I think it was around 2017 when I was working at MQ and the NTEU branch had one of the first union wins on wage theft for casuals. Management knew they had a problem then and there can be no excuse for it going on today🤬🤬🤬

Really chuffed to read this deeply engaged review of 'Personal Politics' by Marilyn Lake, who describes the book as an 'important new political history': insidestory.org.au/remaking-citiz…

Last night I stumbled blissfully home after women’s night at sauna to find my mailbox stuffed with a copy of my book with this cool sticker on it #nswpha State Library of NSW thank you Cambridge University Press - History

Soon enough everyone in government and the public service will be in Canberra universities and vice versa.
