Let's talk about thylacines.
The last known #thylacine died on this day in 1936 - it was accidentally locked out of the indoor part of its enclosure at a #Hobart zoo, and died of exposure.
A 🧵based on stories of how we've represented thylacines, from my #PlatypusMatters book...
Shortly after the British invaded #Tasmania, a #thylacine was caught & illustrated in 1806. As it lay dying, its captor described how its wounds made it "exceedingly inactive and stupid". Scientists in England twisted these words to imply #thylacines were generally unintelligent.
Over the following decades, accounts painted #thylacines as a mysterious, savage killer of the wilderness - coming out of the shadows to kill sheep. (We know now it is unlikely a #thylacine would have hunted many sheep).

Hupsi. Anscheinend ist Anna #Dobler beim #exxpress rausgeflogen - gekündigt per Twitter, und das als stellvertretende Chefredakteurin :'D /MS Image
Uns hat sie übrigens geblockt. Aber nun ja, wofür hat man einen unverdächtig erscheinenden Tarnaccount :D /MS
Hier der Auslöser: Anna #Dobler hat die Teilnehmenden der #Wannseekonferenz (auf der der Holocaust geplant wurde) als "durch und durch Sozialisten" bezeichnet.
Diese Sorte übelster NS-Relativierung hat im liberalen bis rechten Lager traurige Tradition. /MS

This black leghorn has a nifty inbuilt umbrella
Game fowl are total bruisers and this guy is quite intimidating

The @UTAS_ Council meets on Friday to decide whether to abandon most or all of the beautiful Sandy Bay campus, based on a lie. UTAS claims it can’t refurbish old buildings on the campus, but the evidence says it can. They wasted the💰on CBD buildings instead
#politas #lgtas ImageImageImageImage
The Engineering building at Sandy Bay was built in 1959. A few weeks ago UTAS launched a new state-of-the-art design centre inside this 60-year old building. This facility is one of the most modern teaching spaces in Tasmania. In a 60yo old building

The old engineering building on the Domain campus was built in the 50s or 60s. But UTAS has successfully refurbished it for the School of Nursing and Midwifery, a faculty that clearly involves aspects of Science, and Technology. In an old building

The purchase of the former Forestry Tasmania building is not the only real estate deal that's seen UTAS take a financial bath, at taxpayer's expense. Thread.
#politas #lgtas #Hobart
The former Forestry Tasmania building was previously owned by Calbourne Nominees, a company associated with the Rockefellers. According to the ABC, the property was valued at $5.7 million and UTAS paid $15 million Image
Calbourne Nominees were also the company that applied to the @cityofhobarttas to demolish the forestry dome last year themercury.com.au/news/tasmania/…
