Great to see one of our favourites from this year’s online festival @eben_kirksey on @ABCthedrum this week. You can still watch the recording of Eben’s session with @aliciasometimes on demand via our website until 31 December
Who gets to decide what is a good gene, and what is a bad gene? Thank you to @ABCthedrum for having me on the show to talk about eugenics and CRISPR gene editing.

Last night, @archieroach performed 'Took the Children Away' at the virtual 2020 ARIA Awards as he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Congratulations to Archie on his induction and this incredibly moving, must-watch performance.

Elated to hear the news that Dr Kylie Moore-Gilbert has been freed from prison. Dr Moore-Gilbert was the @PENMelbourne Empty Chair at this year's festival. We stand in solidarity with the courageous writers who do not share the fundamental human right of freedom of expression.
A great piece from our lovely and talented intern about her experience working on this year’s online festival. We ❤️ you @sarahallen____
In the spirit of 2020, here is my blog post about:

Incredibly lucky to have worked with the wonderful @WordforWordFest

Great discussion among @KeneallyMeg @leahkam @clairegcoleman David Maurice Smith @kailaswild at @WordforWordFest In Our Nature on wildlife, colonialism, writing as activism and the power of images #lifechanging
Can writing and photography be a form of activism?
@kailaswild @KeneallyMeg
@leahkam @clairegcoleman discuss as part of #inournature

People who are susceptible to rational arguments about conservation have already heard them...we needed emotional arguments and images help people connect emotionally.

Very strong theme of accountability in this @WordforWordFest conversation. Accountability of the legal profession to keep the court room safe, accountability of those who knew, but said nothing and accountability of those who abused. #W4W2020
"The capacity for courage in the human spirit is just so enormous. I'm in awe of people's courage."
