The show I did for #3CR's Trans Day of Audibility yesterday (plus all the others in the lineup) is now available for download: https://www.3cr.org.au/tdoa2026.

It features such Fediverse luminaries as @Winter, @miriamrobern, @Dawn, and @kat

Fedizens of long standing may notice a stylistic similarity with a podcast @tregeagle and I used to do about 15 years ago. That's not coincidental. I may have changed a bit in the intervening years, but I've hardly matured at all.

@katyswain The second half got more interesting for me but just when you both started getting into it, Kev ran out of time. #RadioMMT #3CR

I don't think I entirely hate the way that #RadioMMT went on Friday. Notwithstanding the fact that I'd had a busy week and my voice was already in tatters.

I certainly like that it was Kev who had to edit out most of my "um"s for the podcast version.

I'm late for #TransVoiceFriday, which is particularly egregious because I already had something recorded. Someone at #3CR was collecting anecdotes from trans people about how they chose their name, so I put on my posh voice and sent them this.

If you'd like to hear more incisive, socially relevant, quality content like this, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that for the price of a cup of coffee a month, yada yada: https://www.3cr.org.au/subscribe

War

This episode examines how war and militarism shape workers’ lives and labour struggles: DP World’s AI automation push threatens over 1,000 skilled port jobs while shifting control of critical supply‑chain infrastructure offshore; Australia’s fuel insecurity—hollowed refineries and a depleted tanker fleet—exposes us to global choke points and the fallout of foreign military campaigns; Victoria’s education strike highlights domestic austerity and the costs borne by public services.
