BellingenNSW<p>Australia's semantic struggles over a "one and only" reality or a pluriverse? <br>From the 'heart of darkness' to the “sanitised” articles of sub/urban place names.</p><p>"Some (Wikipedia) editors told us they felt it was their responsibility to include First Nations’ perspectives, even though they met with heavy resistance. One, Lucas, had repeatedly tried to include First Nations place names, often unsuccessfully. He no longer edits Wikipedia. “I just ran out of energy for it”...One or two editors “were going around removing Aboriginal place names from all the articles about Australia and Australian places”.<br>&gt;&gt;<br><a href="https://theconversation.com/we-analysed-35-000-wikipedia-entries-about-australian-places-some-sanitised-history-others-privileged-fiction-over-reality-241364" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">theconversation.com/we-analyse</span><span class="invisible">d-35-000-wikipedia-entries-about-australian-places-some-sanitised-history-others-privileged-fiction-over-reality-241364</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wikipedia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SettlerSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SettlerSociety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/SocialImaginary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialImaginary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ImaginedCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ImaginedCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>violence</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/FirstNations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FirstNations</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/TruthTelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TruthTelling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/naming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>naming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/IndigenousKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pluriverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pluriverse</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EditWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EditWars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/WorldMaking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldMaking</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EpistemicInjustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EpistemicInjustice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/framing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>framing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/worldviews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>worldviews</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
BellingenNSW<p>Road to nowhere: The cul-de-sac is a suburban trap. It’s virtually useless as a road, doesn’t support public transport, cycling or walking, and doesn’t work well as a play or gathering place. Like many modern <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/transport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transport</span></a> nightmares, it originated in the <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/car" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>car</span></a>-oriented suburban planning of 1950s America, a defence against the perceived threat of the inner <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/city" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>city</span></a>.
