Dr Ally Louks is in the building. Cambridge PhD student Dr @DrAllyLouks from @Peterhouse_Cam went viral last year when she posted a photo of her thesis on the politics of smell in modern and contemporary prose. Here's her story about what happened next 👇

I hope @DrAllyLouks is proud of us. Although tbh some of the most fascinating queer smell tropes are the positive ones. Like the person rhapsodising about “sweet supple estrogenated t-girl smell”. Or how everyone’s into armpits now.

Psst @DrAllyLouks I’m not saying you should go there yourself (certainly you’ve enough on your post PhD agenda), but … if you find yourself with queer students interested Smell Analysis, my goodness there’s a lot to mine there.

Dear The Wigs: more than any previous episode this episode stirs in me Some Questions. These questions are not urgent- I like to think they might be suitable for NEXT end of year special, but “audience input we took into account re of xxx” also valid. But - where do I send qs?!

Children of asylum seekers, who grew up here as our friends and neighbours, are being blocked from university just so Labor and the Coalition can get a cheap political hit. So much human potential wasted. Let’s be better, and welcome them instead. abc.net.au/news/2024-11-24/y…

An email obtained by the ABC confirms Queanbeyan Hospital has stopped providing surgical terminations for fetal anomalies and medical reasons, restricting access to a legal and time-critical form of reproductive health care. abc.net.au/news/2024-11-13/e…

No this actually happened. Even years AFTER World War II ended, the US government punished people who had expressed “premature anti-Nazi sympathies.” Meaning they punished people for having correctly opposed the Nazis before the US had officially joined the war against the Nazis.
Starting to think people probably did oppose the Nazis but were shouted down for being too mean about it.

This is such an Australian thing to do. Make an arbitrary rule that even your own government cannot keep when serving the King

Found a fascinating micro party. Renters rights and the introduction of Daylight Saving in WA 🤷 Paging @batshit_auspol

The Albanese Labor Government has delivered the first back-to-back surpluses in nearly 2 decades. Our surpluses help fight inflation, pay down Liberal debt, and made room for cost-of-living relief for people under pressure. smh.com.au/politics/federal/…

I have no intention of reading this book, or any other Rooney, but I have been enjoying critical reviews of her work for quite a while now and this is a particularly fun one. thespinoff.co.nz/books/24-09…

Today’s adventure in queer podcasting: I’m genuinely unsure if Ephraim is talking about “fairy” community or “furry” community. I’m leaning 2:1 toward fairy, in context. Am I right ⁦@cervixpiercer⁩ ?? podcasts.apple.com/au/podcas…

Good and correct thread on Australian food culture.
The thing about Australia is that we're a high immigration country that is geographically very isolated, which means there's a huge diversity of culinary traditions that almost immediately begin diverging into uniquely Australian variants - and a lot of these variations are good.
