Totally agree. Cruel and harrowing sums it up. I love science.

With Meanjin, my guess is that MUP are just waiting till the fuss blows over. To help keep the fuss going, you could write directly to:

-the chair of the MUP board, Warren Bebbington -warren.bebbington@unimelb.edu.au.
-the Vice-Chancellor, Uni of Melbourne, Emma Johnston - vc@unimelb.edu.au.

Iโ€™ll miss YouTube as I watch the videos for lots of things - from how to fix the gears on my bike to how to do a tricksy knitting stitch!

It will be goodbye to any social media that asks me to confirm my ID. Bad enough doing it for the bank - no way would I trust a social media company with my details.

Under-remarked in the commentary around the Nazi marches on the weekend is that these dudes supposedly SO concerned about โ€œcost of livingโ€ in Australia have the dollarydoos for a sit-down, full-service *restaurant meal* on a Sunday after their little complaining festival. Absolute jokers. #auspol

At the top, black hand-lettered text reads โ€œUNLESS YOUโ€™RE FIRST NATIONS,โ€ above the head of an indignant black koala with yellow accents, staring directly forward and raising its middle finger.

For everyone following the Ian Graves @xskinn.bsky.social account saga, this reply is from the Chief Technical Officer (and all 'round good guy) of Bluesky, and it appears that there may be some movement by the end of the week (which I know is today for us but is tomorrow for them in the US).

Ian has just messaged me sand said "do us a favour and just post that weโ€™ve been talking and I just to thank everyone for their kind words and support and Iโ€™m missing everyone if you donโ€™t you donโ€™t mind?", so this is that post!

@support.bsky.team hi team - as Dave says below, could you please reinstate Ianโ€™s account? His Bluesky community checks in on him each day especially now during his recovery. He will be missing his daily contacts. Thanks.

Hi all. Just letting you know that Iโ€™ve been in contact with Ian Graves @xskinn.bsky.social. Heโ€™s had some issues relating to his account but heโ€™s in contact with @support.bsky.team so hopefully theyโ€™ll have him back soon. Please repost so as many people see this as possible.
