i'm seeing a lot of people (right and left) give nathan cofnas "credit" for the campaign against jason arday, and he's reveling in that attention, but cofnas is just a halfwit with a shitty substack who received leaked information and posted it. he is a cretin, but first and foremost he's nobody.
op-ed columnists should have to submit to an annual quiz of some basic facts about the world and be fired if they fail

University of Queensland directs UQP to cancel & pulp an Aboriginal writer's environmental-focused book for children. Jazz Money has done nothing wrong and doesn't deserve to be treated this way. Her book is important for young readers. Shameful

Either universities are private businesses that get to set their own priorities or they’re public goods that are obligated to serve everyone. You can’t have it both ways.
repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
violet allen@blipstress.bsky.social · 11mo agoAn actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
"It took more than an hour after the story broke, and was covered by several mastheads, to receive official notice from MUP; a group email confirming Meanjin’s immediate closure." ~Emma Sutherland, Archives Editor at Meanjin in @artshub.bsky.social this weekend. www.artshub.com.au/news/opinion...
I was the Archives Editor at Meanjin – its closure is baffling
As Archives Editor, Emma Sutherland had ‘read everything’ in Meanjin's past, but was unprepared for its troubled present.

It just does not add up. We're aware of at four offers being put to MUP to clear their financial woes @andyhazel.bsky.social @nickfeik.bsky.social
Andy Hazel@andyhazel.bsky.social · 12mo ago“I think anyone who has looked at the actual sums involved can see that the financial arguments just don’t add up. It’s hard not to surmise that Meanjin was killed at least in part because it was too problematic politically and culturally for the University of Melbourne." | @nickfeik.bsky.social
