As we watch a lot of funding for #research being cut, affecting vital projects and driving many talents away, I can't help seeing #academic #conferences as inappropriately decadent. Random example: this conference has an entire subpage about #sustainability: https://confer.co.nz/isc2026/ Does it mean #hybrid, you might ask? No. You fly to New Zealand, and pay an extra 400 - 6500 NZD if you want to attend a field trip: nearly a year's worth of a PhD student bursary in Poland. Who has this money in #sedimentology? Mostly researchers in the #fossilfuels industry.
Am I interested in the scientific content of the conference? Yes.
Am I ashamed by how sustainably and inclusively it is delivered? Also yes. I wish we scientists weren't so tone deaf sometimes.

When the unthinkable happens to a popular girl at school, everything changes overnight.

Yeah this guy definitely looks like someone with a lot of experience telling people to just lie there and take it, or the violence he inflicts on them is their own fault. #askingforit

I chatted with Drive host Anna Vidot about docuseries #AskingForIt on #SBS; homegrown dramedy #TotallyCompletelyFine on #StanAustralia; #GreaseRiseOfThePinkLadies on #ParamountPlusAU; documentary #JudyBlumeForever on #PrimeVideoAUNZ; and thriller series #DeadRingers, also on PrimeVideoAUNZ. Happy viewing, and join us Mondays after 5.40pm on #ABCRadioCanberra for What to Watch This Week! Photo courtesy of PrimeVideo. #tvshows #drama #comedy #thriller #documentary #australia

I’m absolutely thrilled to share our new #trailer for Asking For It! 🎞️ #AskingforIt is a gender flipped adaptation of a satirical play about reporting #assault and not being believed by people in positions of authority. I’m happy to share that we enjoyed a world premiere at the iconic and historic TCL Chinese theaters in #Hollywood and have received our 3rd #filmfestival selection. We will be screening at the #2023 Garden State Film Festival this March! See you there! 🎥 #actors #FilmMastodon 🎭
