Writers, scholars & other speakers: learn to say no more often. Expand your boycotts & solidarity. If its an all-white panel discussing impact of colonisation on First Peoples, stolen land, or their sovereignty, say: "no, not unless there's First Peoples on the panel". Nothing about us, without us.

Video shows protestor's violent arrest began with a hand on a shoulder
New video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows in vivid detail the arrest of a 76-year-old man, who was later released without charge.
It's fitting testimony to both Chris Minns' political acuity & the sheer bravery of NSW Police that it took six of his uniformed goons to tackle a septuagenarian opposed to the crime of genocide to the ground.

Minns banging on about fear and intimidation felt by Jewish Australians and appeals from regular Sydneysiders to stop the protests when the protest itself is regular Sydneysiders <and> Jewish Australians experiencing fear and intimidation <and extreme violence> committed by NSW Police.

Albanese on Herzog visit
Albanese says if Herzog had not been here he βwouldnβt have been able to raise the issue of Zomi Frankcom with himβ. Sorry? He couldnβt raise the killing of an Australian aid worker with the head of state of the country whose military killed her without first inviting him for dinner at Kirribilli?

Axed literary magazine Meanjin finds a new home after its axing
Melbourne University Press closed the much-loved literary magazine last year, saying it was losing too much money.
QUT will take over famous literary magazine Meanjin, after the journal was closed by Melbourne Uni Publishing last year.
This is a win for all who campaigned to save the masthead, but hardly makes up for the damage done last year www.smh.com.au/culture/book...

In just a few days, over 1600 people have booked tickets to hear Randa Abdel-Fattah speak at two events in Adelaide, early March. Perhaps 400 would have heard her speak if racists hadn't disinvited her from Adelaide Writers Week. This is solidarity.
PS Read her novel, if you can find a copy

This image reads "Submissions to Southerly 81.1 'Ireland and Other Islands' are open now, and close 30th March. We are welcoming submissions of fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry, on themes of Ireland and the ties that bind Ireland and Australia". This text is followed by the Southerly logo, a cherub blowing air onto the word "Southerly".
This image reads "You can now donate to help bring Australia's oldest literary journal into the future. Until the 30th of June 2026, you can donate to Southerly via the Australian Cultural Fund. These funds will support the publication of new Australian literature, poetry, and criticism. Donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible."

This image reads "'First, The Future' and all past issues online and in stores now.
