In a crowded field of evil corporates, Elsevier is unethical and antisocial enough to really stand out. Fully support unis across our part of the world refusing to bow to them.

Of course she was charged under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, rather than treating the allegations as serious (and they were serious). This is awful.

Police 'failed' woman who accused Jevon McSkimming of sexual offending, her lawyer says
The allegations arose from an affair between McSkimming and the woman who at the time was a junior non-sworn police employee.

Can think of few others as deserving as Siouxsie - who helped protect so many lives, & was NZ'er of the Year in 2021 - of our support now. She won legal case on truly awful online harassment/hate but remains 400k+ out of pocket. Absurd. Time to help her move forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7PB...

Ugh. Have had the usual Christmas email from my sister in law summoning us to a "celebration" at a time and date of her choosing. First week in December this time, so her calendar must be full for the rest of the month. Thankfully, we are going to be away, so I didn't have to lie.
