It's me again 👋🏻 indulgently reminiscing about bands, booze and good times! A job that changed me: I was a music festival artist liaison. At 22 with a walkie-talkie in hand, I’ve never felt more powerful Thanks for having me @australia.theguardian.com @alyxg.bsky.social, @greenmanfest.bsky.social

Adult beginners are charming when the stakes are low. Learning the piano at 50 is cute – but nobody ever needed to be airlifted out of a piano recital

Saw these three fab new contemp dance pieces last night, as my friend Rachel Coulson was performing in two of them. Enjoyed seeing the new Union Theatre at Uni of Melbourne, and spotting the who's-who of contemporary dance. @unimelbsoc.bsky.social www.theage.com.au/culture/danc...

It is heartening to read through the list of funded #ARC #DP2025 projects and see many familiar names, of academics I admire and know to be GOOD PEOPLE. A bummer for those who missed out, but reading the list of projects makes me feel excited to be in this industry.

A lovely article, that made me cry in the final sentences. She's a great writer. My kids are in government schools too (and I work in education research) so it means a lot to me. I shared it too.

This is a beautiful article about government education, written by the oncologist and columnist Ranjana Srivastava. She says that her polite, obedient and diligent Yr 12 son is the "product of three government schools" 😭 So moving. @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Australia’s two largest capital cities have far too little tree canopy, which leads to increased rates of obesity, depression, anxiety and heatstroke.
