It's a bit hard for me to get past the fact that Eva called me a Pauline Hansonite conspiracy theorist during #CensusFail Since then she's become an advisory member of the org that claims to have led the fight against the 2016 census- the Australian Privacy Foundation
Couldn't fit this in the last tweet. She kind of ruins the idea for me elpis.network
Oh to be a middle class academic.
It's funny how progressive middle class people are- until you challenge them & they become the most reactionary arsehats around.

I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past week about whether I should go ahead and begin work on an autobiography next year. I kept coming up with fears about how people might respond. I realised that my first 25 years is basically a string of abuses against me. 1/
I realised this meant that if I write about this time in my life, I'm potentially picking a fight with everyone who abused me: school, family, community ie, everyone. I've been worried about repercussions. 2/
Then I realised that yes indeed, everybody did either abuse or neglect me to a damaging extent & that it is probably finally time that I stood up to that so instead of feeling fear, felt the anger on my own behalf that is warranted. 3/

FFS, now Landr is telling me they 'think I might have borrowed my cover art'. They just make this shit up.
One of them is the same image I used in the release of the solo version through them. Wasn't a problem last time. I suppose I should just go along with their games and change the images and see if they come up with another pretend issue.
I think they're just trying to bully people into using the services they pimp through their system. They never provide any actual evidence for why they want more info, so either they don't know or there isn't a reason.

Still waiting for 2 of my orchestral pieces to get through the review system but 3 are through although not yet on Spotify. This is The Storm is Here
They Came For Us is also through
I should probably warn that one is like a soundtrack to a sci-fi movie & includes some sound effects of war. It is definitely not relaxation music! Also now on Apple/iTunes music.apple.com/au/album/they-…

My son's father moved in with his new girlfriend 2 weeks before I gave birth right after he 'donated' his sperm to me to you know, stimulate labour. Men are generous to a fault.
This was way back when the gov was literally just introducing the Child Support Agency. Father told me if I went thru them I'd never get any child support. Gov told me it would be better than court. I never got a cent from CSA till I lobbied gov to introduce a compulsory minimum.
I only got $40 a week for the 8 weeks either side of the birth but only because a feminist legal service (who knew local circumstances) took the father to court. CSA gave me zip till my son started working! Then only $5 per fortnight?

I just love the way SBS news is not explaining that the census is now being used to join a data across all portfolios (in it's pro census story). Because that's not a story, right?
I've never quite felt the same about the ABC news since their coverage of the 2016 census in which they didn't inform their audience that MAJOR changes to our census were being made. The Parl Inquiry critiqued the ABS but not the media for their role in keeping everyone ignorant!
The only reason I realised anything was worth paying attention to at all with the census was because the Pirate Party raised concerns about it & I decided to make an effort to find out if there was any reason to take issue with it. My research turned into ausgov.info/index.php?Topi…

OMG someone invented plastic brass instruments ozwinds.com.au/nuvo-jhorn-min…
I might just end up with my own little plastic orchestra. I can't believe this guy is playing a piece I used to learn on a plastic trumpet. The internet has finally blown my mind.
