Am I misunderstanding these new schemes -- it seems mid and senior career stage people will no longer be able to apply for their own salary costs? Surely this will have fairly big (negative) consequences, especially for research contingent people?

⁉️The ARC has delayed outcomes of ALL grants 1–4 months & increased scheduled outcome windows from 2 weeks to 3 months! This reverses 4 years of progress in providing greater certainty & ability to plan for researchers, their families & unis. Their excuse? Security checks under new ARC legislation👇

The incredible repression of information happening in Iran, hiding the bloody state crackdown — and how grotesque to hear the foreign minister using Trump killing civilians to normalise this www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

There are two venerated, much feared trees on the edge of Barwell Common. Known as Whip Scar and Tangle Knife, they are home to particularly quarrelsome Wood Sprites. To pass between them has a fearsome terror tithe and even if it's paid, you are still likely to hear them spitting curses.

It’s time for my annual thread of Australian poetry books you should buy ppl for Xmas. No one buys poetry partly cos it’s intimidating. It rarely makes xmas book guides. But poetry is an ethical gift that: supports underfunded writers; wins brownie points with gift receiver; improves the human soul

Datacentres demand huge amounts of electricity. Could they derail Australia’s net zero ambitions?

Banks of servers operating 24/7 generate massive amounts of heat, requiring power to run and cool them

This is so good. TLDR: young people don't like it, and have great reasons why the ban is a bad idea

ARC are considering a restructure in which jobs there will be lost, a source tells me. This seems ridiculous when they're about to completely overhaul the entire grants system – they've never undertaken anything so large before! I've long said ARC needs MANY MORE staff, & should do more, not less.

And this is exactly why poetry is relatively safe from AI. It’s not worth anything to capital! Thank you Maggie Nelson!! 🙇🏻‍♀️

🆕 New Article! Check out Dr. Catherine Tebaldi’s (@cat-tebaldi.bsky.social) new article on "tradwives," who are social media influencers who promote an idealized, "feminine" womanhood by staging nostalgic chronotopes of tradition, from 1850s homesteads to 1950s suburban homes. 🧵1/3

I counter the claim that "AI steals just the way human artists steal." We do not. Artists engage relationally with sources rather than severing them for computational processing. Computers are not people. Comparing generative tools to artists is a dehumanizing act.

This demonstrates how artists actually work: through relational thinking, discerning, critiquing, connecting as thinking, feeling people. I know where every reference comes from. When artists take from each other with acknowledgement, responsibility, and respect, we make each other stronger.
