I finally have gotten around to turning my google doc of where to buy masks in Aus into a proper page that's sortable and filterable. I'm keen to add more places that sell masks if you have bought from anywhere else! masks.lizduckchong.com

"I recognise this longing for more meaningful work from my twenties ... the belief that the move from one kind of labour towards another, more aligned with my values, could somehow inoculate me from the structures of which all work is part." Ooft www.killyourdarlings.com.au/article/the-...
The Haunted Workplace
A recent wave of fiction about the corporate world draws on the gothic and the weird to expose the failed promises of modern life.

Clear History: Digital Minimalism and KonMari-ing the Cloud — Kill Your Darlings
Amid the Marie-Kondo craze of reassessing our attachment to physical objects, digital storage can seem like an infinite safety net. But what happens when our archived memories no longer spark joy?

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.

Call me Tally Ho pilled but they're one of the few things left on YouTube that, upon seeing a new video, I find a time to sit and watch it with no distractions. Just sweet, excellent watching.

It beggars belief that MUP are scrapping Meanjin *entirely*. Could it not even continue as an online journal? And what will happen to the vast and essential archive on its website? The decision is a stunning, appalling act of cultural vandalism which demands complete transparency and accountability.

This is shocking news. Literary magazines - and all the other small orgs now under pressure or closing or gone - are the bedrock of culture and their ongoing costs are barely a blip in any institutional budget. Melbourne University ought to be ashamed www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/04/m...
Literary journal Meanjin to close after 85 years of publishing
Meanjin, a mainstay of Australia's cultural landscape and the nation's second-oldest literary publication, is shuttering after Melbourne University Publishing decided to cease financial support.

It’s ludicrous and insulting to suggest that the richest university in Australia can’t afford the two part-time wages to run Meanjin.
Also: did they even try to save it? Donation drive? Philanthropic efforts? Offering it to another institution?
No.
The university council shut it down intentionally.

Exclusive: Australia’s second-oldest literary journal, Meanjin, is being shut down today for "financial" reasons, Crikey can reveal.
