Gonna share of my favourite IndigenousX articles from 2018, starting with: 10 questions I get from non-Indigenous students | IndigenousX bit.ly/2EVBKfk via @AmyThunig
This is part one of a beautiful and personal 5 part story from @tanlewis1. All the following articles are linked together. indigenousx.com.au/tania-lewis-ju…
#Kooriculum: Beyond Terra Nullius | IndigenousX bit.ly/2EVAdWH via @drchris_maths - a genius mathematicians who is out there fighting the good fight on getting Indigenous mathematics recognised and understood, and included in classrooms.
This was from me about how racist media peeps love to do racist stuff, then pretend it’s not racist while doubling down on their racism, claim victimhood, then whine about ‘a PC gone mad’ dystopia... was in reference to the Serena Williams cartoon debacle. indigenousx.com.au/defending-raci…
A great article from the amazing @drcbond - The irony of the Aboriginal academic. indigenousx.com.au/chelsea-bond-t…
Remember that ‘white nurses have to sorry for being white before treating Aboriginal patients’ nonsense? IndigenousX were the first to call it out as a politically motivated lie. Media Watch covered it a few days later, but with no acknowledgement to us... indigenousx.com.au/the-truth-behi…
We were also the first ones to point out the links between Pauline Hanson’s ‘it’s ok to be white’ motion and that slogans popularity with white supremacist groups. indigenousx.com.au/pauline-hanson…
Is funny because we’re not really a ‘breaking news’ kinda site, but I guess other media weren’t really paying attention to these stories which let us come in and correct the record first.
Indigenous astronomy to revitalise the Australian curriculum | #IndigenousX bit.ly/2EVzl4s via @KrystalDeNapoli
We also had a series of exceptional articles around Invasion Day this year indigenousx.com.au/category/blogx…

Am already planning 2019’s one, but planning to take it in a bit of a new direction so keep an eye out for it next month.

The open star cluster, Pleiades is known as miyay miyay in Gomeroi, meaning several girls. The miyay were considered to be beautiful women with long hair and bodies made of ice. They say that thunder in the winter is the miyay miyay playing and bathing.
A young hunter, Karambal fell in love with a beautiful miyay and stole her away from her sisters. The sisters retaliated and sent snow storms to punish him. When they realised they couldn't find her in all the snow, they took to the sky in search for summer to melt the ice.
The story contains both factual and cultural elements. It informs us that Pleiades appears in our skies during the summer and disappears in the winter. Winter is caused by the sisters, as a punishment for stealing woman that are of the wrong totem group.

One of my #Becauseofherwecan role models is another deadly #Martu woman - my auntie Doris Nugi Garimara Pilkington (1937 - 2014). She has inspired me to not give up on my vision of being a professional novelist.
Auntie Doris won the David Unaipon Award in 1990 (at the age of 53) for her novel Caprice: A Stockman's Daughter. Her second novel, Follow The Rabbit-Proof Fence was published in 1996 (children's version in 2006). And the sequel Under the Wintamarra Tree in 2002.
After the movie version of Rabbit-Proof Fence was released in 2002, Auntie Doris was catapulted on to the world stage. She travelled throughout Australia and overseas talking about the Stolen Generations. She met survivors, family, supporters, writers, popstars and world leaders.

For wild women and rebel girls, sometimes resistance is about saying 'no.' It's about choosing your own priorities. Not letting anyone put you in the corner, lock you up, or force you to give up your dreams. Its daring to live your best #IndigenousX life.
indigenousx.com.au/karen-wyld-wil…
One of my #BecauseOfHerWeCan stories has to be about my maternal grandmother, and other strong #Martu women. My nana Molly (Craig) Kelly didn't lead a rebellion. She wasn't a resistance fighter. But she did resist. Plenty of times, until the authorities let her live life her way.
At the age of 14, Molly was forcibly removed from her family and community. Just because she was of mixed heritage, in an era when the gov & church was attempting to force Aboriginal children such as herself to assimilate into white society via institutionalisation and servitude.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Yes, hello, my name is Amy & I am a proud Aboriginal academic & my focus area is education. I am disgusted by the appointment of Abbott as ‘envoy’ to my people, but even more so by the use of ‘education’ as the justification given by the PM
A thread...
#auspol #IndigenousX
‘Education’ has a legacy of being the political football kicked around & used to justify white policies destroying black lives. See #BringingThemHomeReport & the original Policies used to roll out the start of the #StolenGenerations - each truly about control, not education
We must note that 'Education' is a broad term, with many definitions, values, & applications, most of which have cultural foundations. In the context by the PM it is clear he only means the ‘formal’ settler, Eurocentric education, which we know is presently problematic for many,

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
