Not sappy.not cringe. You don't know me except here but I wish you and everyone safety, I wish israhell stops this violence now. Now. Now. Now. And I'm here hoping for you. Message if I can do anything x

horrific. It is very painful for them, their organs shut down slowly.....horror we have also seen here in Gunai Kurnai Country (so-called Australia) :( I am so sorry :(

this is depraved. Seriously? Israel has hunted and murdered more than 113 Palestinian journalists in 9 months, each murder a war crime, and this cannot be mentioned or their lives honoured? Pathetic.

Mai please report her at the gofundme page site, take your money, and if you can't tell gofundme to refund us all and we can send it to you another way.
Striking gap between the work Aboriginal women do documenting the life shattering reality of white supremacy and colonist violence and the wall of silence from settler historians in the colony. Same as outside academia, colonists thrive, yes, thrive, in this system that kills.
@DrBlackDeer
I sit with them in that question. Ask them what world they want. discuss that. ask how we can get there together. ask if we can start to move that direction in the classroom <3 (and i teach exactly to make that space for their change!)
@Rashmish
I am sorry they have done this to you, and sorry for your experience. Yes, academics do this. I don't have a solution except for contacting the grant body now.
When I was a fellow at the state library vic with what some staff referred to as 'the Aboriginal project', a librarian in the archive reading room checked my bag for manuscripts before I left the room. This never happened before or after the fellowship.

#QandA
highlighted again that there is no lack of truth telling, but a failure of colonisers to listen to the truth. Truth telling is hard work when colonists hardline refuse to listen. Over and over. Structural and endemic.
Am I missing something? Are all the white historians of 'Aboriginal Australia' in some pocket of the world fighting against the ongoing violence?i only see them at book launches and in TV docos. If murders are the colonial project and not their ARC project, they don't care?

The generosity of sharing a vision for a free Palestine, teaching others battered by colonialism how to find ways to act out of love and conviction.
@sheerganor
as a fellow genocide studies scholar and lecturer I can just say that I've learnt a lot by being curious about my own reactions to student choices. i ask myself why I feel offended, or the anger, on whose claimed behalf, and for me it is helplessness=ARGH !
I have long loved Overland, and they are now a vital voice of reason against genocide. Thanks for you work
@OverlandJournal
! Subscribe now good people.
Too many people have expressed outrage at our advocacy for Palestine. You haven't been paying attention. Here's some of the incredible perspectives on Palestine Overland has published over the years ✊🏾
@cprazevedo
I have lost, hopefully, the last of any subconscious trust in white supremacist instits, and I have found a huge reservoir of strength and determination for collective struggle against colonialism for Palestine and all Indigenous peoples.

John you are wrong. Gaslighting from yt men doesn't work any more so step aside. Meh, what u say is just another example - u r the white crowd at the lynching for entertainment. We see you.
fuck war. fuck guns, bombs, white expansionism, racism, capitalist colonialism, and the war these things rely on and perpetuate. i am so sorry for the people who get hurt and who fear for their lives everywhere.
No justice. I commit my every breath to fighting against the ongoing murders and the occupation. No words but all my sadness for everyone suffering from these white actions today, esp to yuendemu Community and Kumanjayi Walker's family. I am so sorry.
@Tito_Ambyo
Yes, my Kurdish housemate simply said 'this is why roosters are good at home, they stand on one leg when the earthquakes are coming.' writing petition to the shire council now.
White supremacy is being a yt researcher, making a question in colonist language, then going to 'other' communities and making them work to respond to the same question, huge conceptual hurdles/knowledge ignored.
Ps it is illegal that that librarian asked and went through my belongings to check I hadn't stolen anything. I never had anyone who was designated to support our specific project reply to an email. Total disinterest.

exactly, those who marched wore tshirts that are the colour of uniforms and all match ... so they are still effectively identifying themselves as the cops.
These South African lawyers at the ICJ are great. Remember how we fought the apartheid regime in SA and it fell? So too Israeli apartheid will fall, and we will not stop fighting for Palestine.
Because 'cultural sensitivity'-! It was about his country! My enduring thanks to the few staff members who anticipated these experiences and who introduced themselves and were the ones we debriefed with. It is a white supremacist gatekeeping instit.
With me, confused by the names on my office door. I apparently could not fit her idea of being either a Dr, or my fellowship partner's male name. One white librarian blocked a community members request for a document that white people requested no prob

There were many notable such experiences. As an individual white nobody I was always treated well at the state library heritage (archive) room but once I became a fellow things changed. On the first day of being shown around, a staff member stood 2/3

Disgusting that you actively lied to the ancestors' community and did the reburial on a changed unadvertised date. That isn't public, it is more lying and cruelty
me: i'm not even a real historian. there is no point writing anything no one reads. i'm taking the night off.
also me: i'll just download every page that mentions Lake Tyers in The Age (1856-now) and do a quick analysis of issues, contexts, frequencies. meh.

out here in Gippsland, the wages are same as for white minimum wage, but the yt farmers rip Island people off by charging so many accomodation and transport costs, and they just don't pay penalty rates. the farms don't want citizen workers who don't stand abuse.

hey all white australians saying 'we are safe from guns here!' no - we give white men guns and don't convict them when they kill Aboriginal people to maintain our white supremacy in the colony. check your collaborator status.

I read through and was struck by the people like Roz Bellamy who are there all the time, letting radical vitriolic hate targeting people pass uncommented, passing the instant profiles of artists to the hounds to target. Emma Kowal joined too. Shame.
Good morning except to all the str8 yt heteronormies in double income bought homes on stolen land who scaffold the oppression of others in the course of their daily life and thrive in determined ignorance of that fact.
nothing surprising by the way, just another way to trace the relentlessness of yt extraction from First Nations communities, and that First Nations people have always spoken back, and been publicly documented as demanding change.

Hey. Ask them to please print out a hard copy application to renew your Medicare. Then you complete it with photocopies of your immi card and hand it in and they have to send it to a capital city if u r regional but they do it.

I moved from genocide scholarship to critical Indigenous scholarship and think dif now. See chap one of Robert Hudson and my book for one way that thr Gunai Kurnai community remembers ongoing violent occupation

Reviewer 3's musing that the author is 'grinding the anti-colonial axe' is so spot on, and proof that we need to be as sharp as possible because they don't learn just by seeing it coming.

This is how developers can propose new 68 apartment 'resort style' blocks on literal River bank flood Plains in bairnsdale, KNOWING it WILL be flooded. Madness.

YES ! and 'urgency' is the chosen theme of this years Australian History Association annual conference ! Horrific ! As if white colonial urgency hasn't got us to exactly where we are now in all the wrong ways !
@StrewthQueen
I've been wondering too hey. Answer has to be that the legal system he got cleared in is part of the problem, no surprise since the law made the cops to genocide resistance from the land, literally.
@GJosephRoche
Unpopular opinion maybe, but in Australian academia, high productivity that is not just white bread is dangerous. Sincerity and enthusiasm are a threat. That's my read on it.
@JulieMcCrossin
Julie what is wrong with you? You are for the ongoing murder of children, women and men, you are stating that you are pro genocide and racist. Pathetic violent white coloniser position, way out of touch with reality.
@purplepingers
You do really amazing work. Your posts are important at the minimum as comfort for those of us on the being ripped off by agents side. Thankyou!!!
