We call on UofM to embrace its responsibilities to students, staff and the public good by acting promptly & housing this important journal within its Community & Cultural Partnerships portfolio and committing to resourcing it appropriately in the long term www.juliennevanloon.com.au/post/univers...

Powerful op-ed by Randa Abdel-Fattah about what it’s like when Australia’s entire pro-lsraeIi genocide lobby dedicates its efforts to professionally ruining you, specifically, to shut you up It’s published at @deepcutnews.bsky.social because it was rejected by The Age, Guardian and The Conversation

A tipping point has been reached. Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world. Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months. You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.

Heroes ✊👏

'To be a liberal Z'st today is to be both scapegoat & cover: reviled as a traitor when you speak out & trotted out as evidence of pluralism when the world is watching.' @shaielb.bsky.social, Liberal Z*sm Is Dying: It’s Time to Put It Out of Its Misery. shaielbenephraim.substack.com/p/liberal-zi...

I’m also fascinated by how universities emerged as combos of abbeys & madrasas, but most of all as student unions – mainly of international students! everyone in the early university worked FOR students – what a power shift we have witnessed where universities punish students for organising

We KNOW lsraeI's whole plan is to empty Gaza of its people & erase all witnesses; the IOF even exhumes & abducts victims from mass graves so their bones can never shame the evil land-hunger of foreign necro-colonists So statements like this just send the message "lsraeI's genocide is working"

Unclear if this activism will lead to the systemic model change this industry needs, but huge kudos to these academics for stepping up, withdrawing their labour and the intellectual capital they gather.

The time has come to reinvent academic publishing. Over the last years conglomerates have bought up once respectable publishers and turned them into rent extraction machines, generating obscene profits from tax-payer funded research and unremunerated academic labor./ mediastudies.hypotheses.org/6850

It disgusts me the way that the captive media try to justify their genocide stenography as ‘neutrality’ – and punish truth-telling journalists as ‘activists’ –and yet here they are bringing opinion into a news lede in a way that would fail a first-year J-school news writing assignment

In 2016 I was one of the winners of the Black&Write! fellowships/awards. It was a life changing award, leading to the publication of my Terra Nullius and all the awards, accolades, and publications I have achieved since. Without B&W and the SLQ I wouldn't be a writer ... 1/

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.

My sister just told me her 'situationship' has ended. I feel sorry for her, but also slightly surprised to hear a fellow millennial use that term to refer to someone they are 'early days' dating. Is that what it means? When you are seeing someone but it's not 'a relationship' proper, yet?

Just spent an hour completing portal admin with [global consultant agency] representing [Australia's #1 ranked uni] as part of a wage remediation program for which I *may* receive back payment. If so, this will be the 4th university to reimburse me for underpayment over 2+ decades in the sector.

A gas exploration drilling rig has appeared within sight of one of Australia’s most loved natural wonders, the 12 Apostles. We don’t need to turn our iconic natural wonders into gas fields. We need to prioritise Australians over exports. @emmashortis.bsky.social went to take a look ⤵️
