A Welcome to Country isn't welcoming you to Australia, you fucking losers.

It's welcoming you to the specific Aboriginal Country that the event you're attending is occurring on.

It's not directed at settlers to remind you that you're settlers - be honest, nothing we do is going to address your entitlement.

It's for everyone who isn't a part of that Aboriginal community, and it's a WELCOME.

Only someone desperate to be a victim would find a ritual designed to literally WELCOME them into a shared space alienating.

Y'all must've been super confused when your mother's would welcome you home from school, huh?

Jacob Hersant arrested for booing an Aboriginal Elder performing the Welcome to Country in Melbourne for the ANZAC Dawn Service.

Seems like he learned his lesson from the single month of bail he was sentenced to for throwing a nazi salute last year.

_____

* he could have been sentenced to 12 months’ imprisonment and/or a fine of $24,000

** his lawyer argued (successfully) that it was a non-violent crime

*** he literally walked out of the courthouse and told the press he was a "soldier of Hitler's"

**** I'm 100% an abolitionist and I'm fucking tired of seeing shit stains like this get mercy from the courts while my people are killed in custody

***** if someone kills him I'll suck your dick and cook you the best bœuf bourguignon you've ever tasted - I'm very good at both.

Since the LNP first introduced the draconian and outrageously dangerous Adult Crime, Adult Time legislation, Sisters Inside have spoken out against its inherent injustice

‘The Queensland Government cannot continue to ignore the fact that this punitive approach will only cause more harm. Evidence from around the world shows that treating children as adults in the criminal legal system increases recriminalisation and perpetuates cycles of violence and disadvantage. These policies are not about public safety—they are about political expediency, fearmongering, and the continued criminalisation of Aboriginal children,’ Debbie Kilroy

Premier, David Crisafulli's expansion of "Adult Crime, Adult Time" to 33 offences is not about community safety - it is a cynical and calculated net-widening exercise that targets the most disadvantaged children in Queensland. This move is designed to erase any legal recognition of "youth crime" as a distinct category, treating children as adults with no regret regard for their developmental needs, circumstances, or life experiences. - Debbie Kilroy

Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.

A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.

Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

I'm skipping my lecture today, because I was just prepping my notes and realised that we're discussing "settler colonialism and nation-building" with no mention of neo-colonialism or settler colonialism as an ongoing structure as opposed to a historical event.

...i don't have the bandwidth for that today.

✏️The Wall Project is part of a series of projects that staff and students are running at the London College of Communication (LCC).

In this case, course staff, LCC Changemakers and students are working on methods to #decolonise higher education curricula.

🌐The second-year students of BA Media Communications are free to participate in the Wall Project by choosing to center their assignment for the Global Media Business, Practices and Culture Unit among social justice themes.

The areas they are asked to choose from are:
- #NewsStorytelling
- #Disability in #Media
- The #Impact of #Technology on #Social and #RacialJustice.

Students' research will be displayed on the wall of the college, replacing posters that aren't relevant anymore.

How does this help decolonise higher education?

Through:
- encouraging students to engage in self-directed #research on #socialjustice,
- #reclaiming university spaces for students' expression
- underlining the importance of #peerfeedback.
