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.

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

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).

@support.bsky.team hi team - as Dave says below, could you please reinstate Ian’s account? His Bluesky community checks in on him each day especially now during his recovery. He will be missing his daily contacts. Thanks.
Hey there @support.bsky.team. Ian is a much loved figure on here. He had an issue last week when he was quite ill where he thought he had been hacked. You have now suspended his account. He relies on his community here, particularly when he is unwell. Can you please take a look ASAP?

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.
