Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

Well there you go. Bendigo Writers Festival has been absolutely played, forced to do the dirty work of lobbyists by their sponsor. When these threats come knocking, academic institutions should be doing everything to protect and defend this country’s cultural events, not become Israel’s enforcer.

new stickers + restock!!!

NEW: More than half a dozen prominent authors have pulled out of the Bendigo Writers Festival after being told to sign a code of conduct that would inhibit criticism of Israel. www.deepcutnews.com/p/authors-wi...

David Pocock: Julie Bishop should stand aside as ANU Chancellor www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

Bishop and Churchill have shamelessly denied allegations made against them and the VC, but members of the ANU community all know who is speaking the truth and who cannot be trusted. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

“Those excuses, to me, are exactly that, excuses. It is my opinion that that motion wasn’t voted on because, at the time, it would have passed … there was a deliberate attempt by the Chancellor to obfuscate, to distract and to deflect from that motion.” Will Burfoot region.com.au/chancellor-j...

Absolutely loved this paper from Tanja Bosch - "As a method, decolonisation demands more than critique. It requires a commitment to building alternative ways of knowing, citing, collaborating and theorising that do not extract from the margins to enrich the centre"

A subscription to the world’s most popular streaming service comes with artist exploitation, writes Cher Tan. But its business is also pseudoscience, surveillance and the funnelling of profits into the war machine. Read more:

Important open letter concerning the poor and rapidly worsening treatment of our casual sessional colleagues at @ouranu.bsky.social ANU staff please read and consider adding your signatures. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

this is one of the widest gulfs between popular sentiment and establishment policy i have ever seen in this country

The least the ABC could do when reporting on the Handala and Tan Safi and Robert Martin's return from unlawful and illegal detainment by Israhell is use Safi's correct pronouns. Not hard and also very easy to find.

Amongst all of this uncertainty and general shitshow that is ANU at the moment, I have to say that I feel honoured and reassured that the academics in my school (School of Sociology) have come together and are standing strong. So much solidarity and strength being shown by people I admire!

Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social has a motion on notice in the Senate to stop #ANU job cuts. 👀 Will ANU Council act accordingly at their meeting tomorrow, or will they ram through job cuts whatever the damage to the University? @nteunion.bsky.social is calling on ANU Council to stop the job cuts.

Recently been listening to songs that were significant in my life during my childhood & early teens, and damn. Some of those songs are NOT ok.

Students and @nteunion.bsky.social members at #ANU are calling for an end to job cuts. Well done to all who participated and thanks to Laura Nuttall MLA for speaking in support of ANU staff and students.

Sending solidarity and support to all our colleagues being called into meetings this week. These redundancies are hugely damaging and without justification.

For the past few years, I have participated in the Community/Patient Educator sessions run by the ANU Medical School. I chat to a group of students about being trans, some of the medical barriers that come up & answer any Qs they may have! Looking forward to participating in tomorrow's session!!

Gender studies cut in ANU slash and burn www.canberratimes.com.au/story/902190...

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

Great solidarity from #ANU staff, students, and broader community today in the face of mass ANU job cuts. It was also fantastic to be joined by Senator @davidpocock.bsky.social and @lauranutallgreens.bsky.social. ✊ Join the @nteunion.bsky.social today at www.nteu.au/join.

Great turn out today at the rally, as well as a fantastic turn out at today's CASS People's Town Hall. Some harrowing and inspiring personal accounts shared at the Town Hall. Thank you to everyone who spoke, solidarity to you all ✊🏽

Rally tomorrow 12pm. We’re protesting ANU cuts. Come join us and make some noise! And at 1pm come hear personal stories of senseless cheap cuts at the arts and social sciences people’s town hall. ✊

Today (14 July) is International Non-Binary People's Day! 💛🤍💜🖤 A day to raise awareness and learn more about some of the issues that non-binary people experience as well as a day of celebration! Going to share some resources in the thread below ⬇️ [downwards pointing arrow emoji]

One of the most unbelievable things about The X-Files is that Mulder sticks it out at the FBI for so long.

To aid transparency, Our ANU is calling for staff to share their CMP feedback submissions. When we can hear each other’s voices, we’ll be stronger. Email CMP submissions to [email protected] We will publish them on our Substack (ouranu.substack.com) and google drive: shorturl.at/VBhCO

I do not want AI in Slack. I do not want AI in Google. I do not want AI on Facebook. I do not want AI in documents or spreadsheets. I do not want AI in Adobe Acrobat. I do not want AI in Zoom. I do not want AI on news sites. I do not want AI in the patient portal for my doctor's office. I do not wan

I love the duality of The X-Files, one episode it's all very existential and deep and the next Mulder is trapped on a cruise ship in 1939.

Woroni is currently writing about the CASS redundancies under the recently announced ‘CASS Organisational Change Proposal’. They want to hear from staff and students about how they feel. www.woroni.com.au/cass-redunda...

UTA dropped Bob Vylan but represents Chris Brown just so you know where the line of acceptability is

ANU executives spent $11M on travel, in the latest available reporting year. This year, ANU college of arts and social sciences is being forced to cut $6.1M. Make this make sense. vimeo.com/1098376260/f...

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the CASS Town Hall this morning due to a conflicting health appointment (it is fun trying to go part-time at the current moment when the university is currently asking for a ridiculous amount of evidence proving I am, in fact, chronically ill) but some… (1/3)

Huge news. This is a win for the artistic community who collectively rejected this racist censorship from the start and never let up - particularly Khaled’s peers who refused to take up the poisoned pavilion. Solidarity in action.

Staff have just been given less than 24 hours notice of an all-college meeting to discuss restructuring and cuts
