There is no financial crisis. This is Macquarie uni balance sheet

1/At Macquarie Uni we are losing 50% of our units in my faculty. This is on top of cuts in 2020. We estimate by next year my faculty will be teaching 80% fewer subjects than pre Covid. Disciplines being cut do not have declining enrolments. @jennaprice.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

In the UK they are now going after Quakers in their place of worship for meeting to talk about Gaza and the climate crisis. Yes, we have reached peak dystopia.

The Quakers recording Clerk said "no-one has been arrested in a Quaker meeting house in living memory.."

For context, this is his handiwork

This is a very worrying precedent set by Bluesky mods. Nation states are not protected groups. This post is a legitimate criticism against a nation state. @safety.bsky.app can you illuminate your reasoning please?

No words needed.

"Fearless, critical analysis of values, consideration of the knowledges necessary to form them intelligently, and identification of their importance to individual and collective freedom and futurity-these are hardly the principles by which most university curriculums are designed today" #academicsky
