Storyteller, story listener, ranter, procrastinator. I teach Community Development @Murdoch Uni, Wadjuk Noongar Country.
Enjoying this #WAHeritage Keynote by Steve Brown, but why do we keep using a 90s definition of Country from a non-Indigenous scholar (Bird-Rose)? Not singling out Brown because it's a regular thing

I did not realise until watching #mafsau that open shirts and chest tats were a thing

Major cultural and class issues going down on #MAFSAU tonight. Australians don’t seem to be able to recognise class stuff. When you tell Jamie to lower her voice and not swear, it’s not just respectability politics, it’s imposing your middle class values on everyone. You sit down & shut up & listen

Tonight’s MAFS rewarded two DV perpetrators.
Adrian is an abusive and dismissive thug, who smirked his way to a Byron junket.
Paul, although remorseful, is going to kill someone.
Unbelievable. DV is considered a national epidemic. Tonight showcased how it is fertilised.

Every time I watch #mafsau I can't believe Tony is only 53. I reckon he forgot half a decade

Just a reminder that what the US President and Israel discussed in this press conference is #genocide - there are all to many precedents in history of genocide via forced displacement

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of gaslighting captured on national television than what we saw tonight on MAFS. The gaslighting, the impact, the slow recognition of it by others. Utterly jaw dropping. The editors did a brilliant job #mafsau

Ugh. Tim to Tony: She didn’t even ask me if I wanted kids?
Back the fuck up and roll the tape, pretty sure Tim commented to Katie “Who discusses kids that early?” About Elliot and Lauren. #mafsau

I love how Jamie has met the other wives once before, on the first day, for a few hours.
And now she's like "THAT'S *MY FRIEND* HE'S TALKING SHIT TO!"

I love people who are just all in on a friendship right away. We're either strangers or we are besties, no in-between.
