One of my fave aspects of BlackWords @austlit.bsky.social is the literary trails. Today we launched the 2025 NAIDOC trail. With thanks to Clare Glassock for researching/writing the trail as part of the Winter Research Program through UQ in collab w/ Catriona Mills www.naidoc.org.au/about/naidoc...

So much of recorded U.S. history is a cover up for ghoulish people who held political power.

Make Fun Of Them Have you ever heard Sam Altman speak? I’m serious, have you ever heard this man say words from his mouth?  Here is but one of the trenchant insights from Sam Altman in his agonizing 37-minute-long p...

Newsletter: It's time for a radical new approach to tech CEOs: mocking them, because they talk like idiots and provide little value to society outside of their dedication to shareholder value. They sound stupid, they do nothing, and it's time to fight back.

The Times headline: Transgender teenager’s German chess triumph prompts call for ban

IT’S FUCKING CHESS

What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

Both ‘lazy’ and ‘hardworking’ work in compliment to bolster the concept of migration under capitalism which is exploitation.

Today is National Sorry Day – a day to acknowledge the strength and resilience of the Stolen Generations. Our thoughts are with those who were taken, and to all the families who are still shaped by this loss.

my problem with cultural awareness often it is training that doesn't focus on white peopling

A poem I wrote about my frustrations of cultural awareness training focusing so much on our culture and not focusing on whiteness and racism which is the actual cause of issues and ignorance

Fuck John-Paul Langbroek, and fuck The Australian newspaper and their McCarthyism that pursues and punishes artists for speaking out against genocide, more than they care to report on the genocide itself. #AusPol

Astronauts, lab rats and Drapetomania “In what could be compared to Elon Musk’s Space X’s efforts to build a new colony on Mars, men in boats arrived on the edge of the known world to embark on that new experiment.” - Sussan Ley 2025

With Sussan Ley becoming liberal leader, I thought I'd re-share a poem I wrote in response to her weird Invasion day speech

As cuts mount, those used to one-click searching are in for a shock If ‘big deal’ subscriptions become unaffordable, librarians will need to help students and academics conduct effective searches, says Caroline Ball

“The current ease of access to pre-packaged information bundles may have inadvertently led to a decline in the proficiency of certain research skills among academics. A shift towards open access alternatives means that information will once again become more decentralised and dispersed…” 📚

This should be a huge story

Big Girls Don't Cry: Black joy celebrated in debut play Dalara Williams wanted to see people like her in the romcoms she grew up with, so she wrote her own. After studying acting, the roles the Wiradjuri and Gumbaynggirr woman was asked to audition for were often "tragic" and took a specific lens on the lives of Aboriginal people.

imagine being a Zionist and gathering your energy to defend Gal Gadot and pretend she can act or has presence on screen. I guess they defend baby killers but still, big job

Dumped Venice Biennale artist's Melbourne show indefinitely postponed Monash University has indefinitely postponed an exhibition — due to open in May — featuring the work of Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi at its gallery, MUMA.

more shameful shit from the anti-Arab lobby today.

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Khaled Sabsabi show cancelled one month after sacking from Venice Biennale Monash University has ‘indefinitely postponed’ upcoming exhibition at Monash University Museum of Art in Melbourne, after ‘consultation with our communities’

Hard to overstate just how bad internal morale is amongst staff at Monash University just now. The university seems overtly committed to suppressing intellectual freedom and cultural expression www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

What is Labor’s position on jailing children and denying them bail? The Prime Minister says one thing, his Minister for Indigenous Australians says another.

I’m calling for the federal government to take concrete action on bail by funding therapeutic bail support and supervision.

tuned into ALIA #InfoOnline25 & my main takeaways from the morning discussions are:
1) there’s a disconnect between aspirations & reality re. implementing Indigenous protocols;
2) #IndigenousLibrarianship is its own discipline, not an add on;
3) allies must stop centring themselves & listen to us.

#InfoOnline25 now Rebecca Bateman is reminding us (among a plethora of other insights) that cultural protocols are iterative & evolving; self-determination is at the forefront of this work; & when we get out of our comfort zone, that’s where the magic happens ✨ oh, & of course:
