Late to @CallMeSipo, but what a line to have dug up: “it’s in the giving of lit prizes that the cult of the middlebrow seems now to have established itself”! I can see it both ways: the NP must be tons of work, all 3 pubs have to agree!meanjin.com.au/books/how-nov…

First, @CallMeSipo on Anne de Marcken's IT LASTS FOREVER AND THEN IT'S OVER and Jonathan Buckley's TELL:
"[...] they are also somewhat safe choices—‘safe’ in the sense they were bound to find a wide audience without the spotlight of a prominent prize."

In today's back-from-hiatus essay @CallMeSipo reflects on the posthumous legacy of Vivian Maier and on the possibility of making her work "available to everyone, away from the necromantic urges of capital accumulation at the expense of a dead artist." overland.org.au/2024/11/art-…

JUST IN: Hundreds of NTEU members at @UOW have overwhelmingly endorsed a NO CONFIDENCE motion towards VC John Dewar and University Council. Staff are calling on management to drop the proposal to slash 137 jobs, and for genuine consultation

Even getting one of the ultra prestigious, ultra competitive ARC fellowships that **pay your salary** isn’t enough to escape the destruction

John Dewar is the most destructive VC in recent history. An architect of the disastrous Melbourne Model, the grim reaper of LTU and now laying waste to UoW. No doubt he'll get his million dollar paycheck and move on to more hapless victims in the tertiary education sector.
