Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy?

The absolute globalisation of this industry, the squeezing of all costs out of it, it becomes almost impossible for people to make money – writers, publishers, editors. These companies put downward pressure on the entire market.”

If there are any librarians or archivists listening, I would love a book about DIY archiving. Digital, paper, photos, journals, letters, etc. Authoritarian regimes try to destroy history. We’re going to have to learn how to preserve it.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

In Australia authors get paid for their work even in the library system where people are able to borrow for free. A beautiful system for all, impeccably executed here.

Just downloaded Tidal music. Not sure if it is better, but looking for feedback. Physical media is obviously the preferred choice, but do people have ideas other than Tidal for me to try? Open to suggestions!!

Penguin Random House buys famous indie publisher Text. Live Nation decides to shut down Splendour in the Grass for another year. Australia’s cultural sector is being bought up by foreign multinationals and we’re just sitting around, watching

Devo to see our small quality presses forcing to sell
Text Publishing has announced it is selling to Penguin Random House. Text is of Australia’s most storied and influential indie book publishers, and the acquisition is the latest in a series of M&A’s of Australian publishers by global multinationals. A sad day, in my opinion
