Late to @CallMeSipo, but what a line to have dug up: “it’s in the giving of lit prizes that the cult of the middlebrow seems now to have established itself”! I can see it both ways: the NP must be tons of work,+all 3 pubs have to agree!meanjin.com.au/books/how-nov…

In today's back-from-hiatus essay @CallMeSipo reflects on the posthumous legacy of Vivian Maier and on the possibility of making her work "available to everyone, away from the necromantic urges of capital accumulation at the expense of a dead artist." overland.org.au/2024/11/art-…

JUST IN: Hundreds of NTEU members at @UOW have overwhelmingly endorsed a NO CONFIDENCE motion towards VC John Dewar and University Council. Staff are calling on management to drop the proposal to slash 137 jobs, and for genuine consultation 🔁 share in solidarity with UOW staff

John Dewar is the most destructive VC in recent history. An architect of the disastrous Melbourne Model, the grim reaper of LTU and now laying waste to UoW. No doubt he'll get his million dollar paycheck and move on to more hapless victims in the tertiary education sector.

Solidarity to University of Wollongong staff, who are experiencing a round of debilitating cuts. To state the obvious: higher Ed in Australia is deeply f*cked. #auspol

How can a university not have a history department? And this VC company partner thingy, seems more newsworthy than flight upgrades.
Devastating, short-sighted and shamefully irresponsible announcement by @UOW management today of 135 proposed sackings, including whole teaching departments such as history. All the while the VC is a partner in a consultancy firm reviewing the university’s operations. @NTEUnion

Israel has just won the war crime of the century prize: The IDF used chemical weapons on UN peacekeepers! xitter.gq/unifil_/status/1845470…
Replying to @UNIFIL_
Despite putting on protective masks, fifteen peacekeepers suffered effects, including skin irritation and gastrointestinal reactions, after the smoke entered the camp. The peacekeepers are receiving treatment.

The literary coffeehouses have a foul atmosphere, irritating to the nerves and deadening to the mind. I have never learned anything new there but only been annoyed and irritated and pointlessly depressed.

No crisis in unis is greater than the exploitation of casuals. The relentlessness of wagetheft and extraction of labour from precarious workers is matched only by uni managers' monstrous pay packets and their breathtaking, shameless progressive posturing. theguardian.com/australia-ne…
