Trans youth are already among Australia’s most marginalised people. The social media ban could make this worse Young trans people in Australia have much higher rates of suicide, mental health struggles and anxiety disorders – but many find refuge in social media.

It’s depressing how relevant that first paragraph is still today. Just change 1994 to 2024 and anti-gay to anti-trans.

Not sure if it's been done for Law yet, so thought I'd get a thread going with a few that I've come across.

Please do share & add any other Starter Packs that I've missed.

1/4 Last week, the team at the Responders Lab came to deliver a guest session to my undergraduate family law students.

Monash Law is having an impact in enhancing Australian democracy.

How good is lifting weights for channeling rage? No-one can judge you for being aggressive, angry, loud and red-faced. Slightly different if it’s a faculty meeting.

Looking for #LawSky friends from Australia? Here is the Starter Pack for #AusLaw Academics. More added daily 😁
