Exclusive Brethren ‘volunteers’ were everywhere during the 2025 federal election campaign. At our polling booth in #Deakin it felt like there were more shiny young white men offering Lib how to vote cards than there were voters. And Sukkar corflutes every couple of meters along the path. It was ridiculous. Plus the candidate of course, who as he always does ignored my greeting & looked over my head to speak to my husband. A charming bunch.

Why isn’t #Deakin , which is currently held by the Libs on a margin of 0.2%, recognised with more than a mention in this list of key electorates?
Our representative has distinguished himself repeatedly by his willingness to perform all manner of dirty work in support of his party, without regard to his personal reputation or whatever ethics he may have, while maintaining a facade of smarmy respectability (reminds me wierdly of George Pell in this respect). As I recall, Sukkar won last time by something like 304 votes?
Surely the good people of Deakin can do better this time.
Like many voters I am bitterly disappointed in the Albanese government for maintaining our political ‘normal’ of plunder the planet, enrich the wealthy, screw the poor, when they could have empowered the wealth of talent within their ranks to develop & implement a responsible policy agenda. But I would NEVER preference the Libs 🤡🎪🎡 ahead of Labor. #AusPol

Hung out with these awe-inspiring librarians today to chat about our favourite thing for an hour at #National24 (ALIA National), celebrating the #OER movement in Australasia and strategising our way around the challenges still ahead.
Katy Henry (CAUL) did an exceptional job facilitating our discussion while Sarah McQuillen discussed UniSA’s textbook minimisation project and navigating the barriers to integrating OER into course materials, Angie Williamson shared Deakin’s approach to ensuring quality and reliability in OER publishing, and Jennifer Hurley (RMIT) gave guidance on the institutional supports required to build sustainable open educational practice.
I spoke about measuring impact beyond cost, referring to Sarah Lambert’s insightful work on the 3Rs of social justice.
What a wonderful start to the conference! I can’t wait to dive into the other Open Ed sessions throughout the week 🤩 And am particularly keen to check out Emilia (emi-lee-ah) Bell’s session tomorrow giving us a glimpse into their PhD research “Open to diplomacy? Libraries, knowledge, and global challenges”.
P.S. Excited speaker landyard pic included because aahhh! What a vibe today!

In a positive outlook for 2024, #universities across #Canada are introducing more #PlantBased or #vegan food options. Many of the universities have stated this is due to ongoing demand from students for more variety - and a larger push for more sustainable practices.
A number of universities are taking the lead, notably:
-#WesternUniversity. The university set a goal of having a 40 per cent plant-based menu at all dining halls by the new year, but it hit the target — and at some points even surpassed it — this year. A fully vegan outlet will open in 2024, and the school wants to reach a 50 per cent target in 2025.
-#TheUniversityOfBritishColumbia. 55 per cent of the food in dining halls is plant-based, and the Vancouver school hopes to reach a goal of 80 per cent by 2025.
-#ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal plans to reduce its purchase of meat, dairy and eggs by 30 per cent.
-#DalhousieUniversity in Halifax aims to offer a menu with at least 50 per cent plant-based food options by 2030.
-#UniversityOfToronto. Plant-based options represented less than half of the universities food services offerings two years ago, but now account for 61 per cent.
Vegan Australia is advocating for Australian universities* to gain inspiration from these progressive examples, and embrace a fully vegan food system for the benefit of the planet, humanity, and for the animals.

Here's all the #Deakin #NTEU #Strike stuff I was in. Thank you to everyone who asked for my opinion on this!
I did a 3-minute video explaining why I was taking strike action here: https://youtu.be/jIBunuMifnk
I was in the Geelong Advertiser talking about how Deakin treats it staff: https://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/geelong-education/deakin-university-staff-go-on-24hour-nteubacked-strike-over-enterprise-agreement/news-story/4f3c33c76e59887a2c378748e3f80ba5
That is paywalled so the parts of the article involving me are attached (with alt-text).
I was on @3CRMelbourne's @slacker_radio talking with @ULTROS_PROFESSIONAL and @beef_skeleton about Deakin, their treatment of staff, and why we were striking. That starts from about 10 minutes here: https://omny.fm/shows/the-suwa-show-squatters-and-unwaged-workers/the-suwa-show-squatters-and-unwaged-workers-21-jul
This morning I recorded a video giving the reason I'm going on #strike at #Deakin with the #NTEU tomorrow. This arvo I did an interview with the Geelong Addy. Tomorrow I speak at the rally. You're going to be seeing quite a bit of me if you follow the strike tomorrow.
There are a lot of casual staff that are striking with us and not getting paid what they would be (none of us are, but they're in an even worse position!). Please donate to the strike fund to help them recoup their lost wages!

here's the video where I explain why I'm striking tomorrow:
Today I'm taking strike action at #Deakin University. Deakin's offered sub-standard EA, which voting opens up for today, is an insult to staff, and shows how poorly they understand what is happening at Deakin.
For more information, see these:

I also wrote a blog post about how Deakin keeps crying poor while making profits and using that as an excuse to destroy the staff and culture at the university. No more.
https://blog.joyrex.net/vote-no-to-deakins-dodgy-deal
If you're at #Deakin, I highly encourage you to vote NO on their shitty offer. Deakin has ruined us for too long while making profits. The scales need to be balanced.

In this informative talk from #EverythingOpen, @katcaffeinated@twitter.com - Kat Cain from #Deakin University, reports on the design and publication of an #OER textbook, using the #Pressbook platform.
Using a #PeoplingTechnologies philosophy, the project collaborated with diverse students and staff, transforming learning from physical to digital.

Management decided to start a Team and invite a few hundred workers to it. This lead to....
I've posted a blog entry about voting YES on the PABO at Deakin. It goes over how badly Deakin has treated the staff, as well as why NTEU members should authorise every type of industrial action in the vote.
Healthy eating is not 'more expensive' for the typical Aussie metro area. It's cheaper. Wholefood vegan diets are even cheaper still (this research is based on the so-called 'Planetary Health Diet' which still trashes the environment with fish and meat).
