Thanks to Mehreen Faruqi for her inspiring speech in support of staff and students Western Sydney University today.#educationisafundamentalhumanright Australian Greens

Smart, funny and unafraid to make a deeply critical argument. This why @birdpham should be on everyone's reading list.

'Be kind because kindness is not for pussies, it’s the hardest, most critical stance, it’s a social and political act. It’s fierce as fuck.' Thanks to Writing NSW for letting me use so many naughty words for their Writing and Community series.

Me again!
