Steph went to see Leonardo’s Bride last night, a band she never saw in her youth on account of being too young and on the wrong coast. Other 90s antipodean bands she’s seen as an adult: Crowded House, Monique Brumby, Frente!. All she needs now is Hunters + Collectors and she’ll have her own personal fave complete set.
I know you’re wondering, will Steph ever finish this endless tour of museums and/or museum shops? No, because she’s moving to Singapore in four weeks where her job is literally ‘do science-based art’, so you’re looking at another few months. Settle in, quokkas.
[Also, Liz still has a couple of Brisvegas museum shops up her sleeve. Somehow we found ourselves with a backlog!]
This week on museum shops of the world: National Maritime Museum in Gdansk, Poland.

Sometimes activism gets tiring, and you feel pathetic and useless when you need to take a break. But it’s important. (I had to go on holidays, for a number of reasons; not least because my counselor thought I was burnt out from 24/7 activism)

Note from Liz: While Stephanie is off exploring the exotic wilds of Europe, she organised a guest post to inform, delight or horrify, depending how you feel about birbs.
This time on Birds of Australia: The Sacred Kingfisher, a very inner norf birb

This week on Cleverman, Stephanie yells ‘Nobody needs this’ half a dozen times, Latani and Alinta are our faves, and there is no Deborah Mailman.
Liz: Three Renowned Indigenous Stage Actors out of Five
Steph: Four Renowned Indigenous Stage Actors out of Five
We’re not sure if we’ll be able to post reviews for eps 5+6 immediately after, as Steph is on a plane RIGHT NOW and we’re not sure of her viewing capabilities in Germany and Poland, so the next review might be a combined one later in July.
Housekeeping: Steph is in Germany next week, so posting is going to be light for a few weeks; this may include a delay on Cleverman posts depending on the iView sitch in Europe; you can follow us on Facebook!
In exciting news, last week the AFL announced the eight teams who will make up the first Women’s AFL season. SO EXCITING.
(No Award is a Western Bulldogs blog when it comes to the women’s league.)
To celebrate, noted AFL misogynist Eddie McGuire made some misogynistic comments and trotted out his usual apology.
