Back at work tomorrow (!) so thank you summer for giving me the chance to get absorbed in some wonderful books: Five novels sit on a grey c... One Hundred Days by Alice Pung (young motherhood, family dynamics, growing up in Australia); The Husbands by @cbakerbooks (thriller, Stepford Wives, women having it all); Leave the World Behind by @Rumaan (tense, holiday disrupted, a family in danger?)

At morning session, 'Fuck the System: A Roundtable on Digital Sexual Cultures and 'Inappropriate' Content' #aoir2019 After the content ban on Tumblr, the algorithm went wild and tagged everything as NSFW. We need some transparent, international norms around this process: @susannapaasonen #aoir2019

Here at the Monash's Clayton campus today for the Data Science and Artificial Intelligence in the Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences symposium - going to hear about all the research going on in this area In the mid-1980s at Monash University, there weren't any women in the politics department. @bestqualitycrab was told, "We don't encourage women to study Honours when all you'll do is leave to get your wombs working".

Is Tumblr for friendship? It seems to be a supportive, caring space for many, but some think their friendship networks lie elsewhere, says @paulibyron.
