That’s a wrap on #InvasionDay2020 here at #Muloobinba aka Newcastle. Police informed me they estimate more than 1500 people turned up to march, far greater than our goal of 500. We pulled this together is less than 3 weeks from idea you completion, and it would not have been possible with the support of the community, the Elders and leaders who came to share words, the incredible individuals and committees who came together to be crew for today - cooking the food, running first aid, providing a free screen printing activity for kids, making sewing and painting banners - I’m overwhelmed. I love our community so much 🙏🏽 #Newcastle #OurLakeMac #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe

Turns out the chooky girls had made themselves a nest under the deck stairs, in the cool earth. They’re very clever, look at this stash after a week 🥚 ❤️ #ThunigChooks

Link in bio ☝🏽 this year I declined writing my own pieces on Invasion Day, instead I put my energies in to getting a local rally up and running. But I did provide comment for this piece in @marieclaireau written up by @isobel_larkin 🙏🏽 this is a nice piece from the perspective of a non indigenous person who grew up engaging in celebration of ‘Australia Day’, but has developed a new understanding in adulthood. It’s a refreshing read, and I’m pleased to see these conversations taking place in mainstream media in this way. #InvasionDay2020 #australiaday2020

Supporting the kids to create their own banners for #InvasionDay2020 swipe right for Mr 5s master piece 😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 the creation of banners is in and of itself a cultural act, an act of learning and using our hands to connect and create. I was out with the crew working on the logistics for the day; while hubby worked with the kids to watch some clips on the why (as if they don’t already know, but to be sure and clear), then looked at clips of marches, and then got painting #MurriMums #FirstNations #OurLakeMac

About to go set formal goals with my work supervisor for the year. Am I hiding how much I hate these kinds of activities well? Yes, they serve a purpose. No, I’m not ever going to get used to having to formally articulate my goals and trajectory with other people within institutions. Blaaaargh this is the part of my work I don’t like 😂🙈 as generous and wonderful as my supervisors are, I hate having to verbalise and communicate long term goals with others. #academicchat #blacademia #phdchat
