  19. Hey folks, letting you know that the #Newkind Australian Social Change Conference is coming up, running from 30th Sept through to 4th October this year in Dja Dja Wurrung Country, in Redbank, Victoria.

    This is genuinely one of the best events I've ever attended, and I'm very fortunate to be speaking again this year. The event prices includes all meals, entertainment, and a place for you to camp, with an option of tent hire available. The conference is family friendly.

    I'll personally be presenting on urban plant fibres, enshittification trends, and will also be helping at the repair cafe. There are talks and workshops examing the racial justice, wealth inequality, indigenous knowledge, Polynesian dance, degrowth, and more.

    Retoots appreciated.
