It's 7:30 on a Sunday evening. Not 10 years ago I would just now be heading to the pub for a Parma and a couple of wines with mates. Just a quiet one. Now I'm waiting for the dryer to finish so I can sort/iron/fold and get to bed before the child awakens because I won't get any sleep after she does.

I hate marking assessments so goddamn much. I've always hated it. Having to also keep an eye out for AISlop in assessments has exacerbated that. I think this is because I genuinely love reading essays, thinking about innovative arguments, and experimenting with the genre's forms and conventions.

As a used bookseller, this is maddening because every damn day I see appetite for strange books, old books, indie books, forgotten books. Readers are there. They love to explore the store & buy things they've never heard of. Publishing's biggest problem is that they've forgotten how to sell books.

Re #MeanjinJournal, a letter from myself and some of my colleagues to The University of Melbourne. #Meanjin is such an important part of Australia's literary ecosystem and losing it would be culturally and industrially devastating. #AusLit #AustralianWriters #Publishing #Unimelb

1 / 1
Letter in support of Meanjin’s future

As members of the Publishing and Communications program’s staff at the University of Melbourne, we strongly support the continued existence of Meanjin Quarterly. From direct involvements with the journal during the past 25 years and more, we personally attest to the formative role Meanjin has played in the development of writers, editors and publishers, and an independent Australian cultural voice. The creative labour of thousands resonates deeply in the fabric of this cultural institution founded by Clem Christesen in Meanjin/Brisbane in 1940.

We call on the University of Melbourne to recognise the rich and continuing social, political and literary value of Meanjin by ensuring its future. The journal is a living resource for our teaching, and vital to our students. Its publications fill our reading lists with ideas from the best minds of our time. It has uplifted many of our students through publication, internships, partnerships and employment, and its connection to the University is part of what makes our writing and editing programs valuable and comparable to other leading universities on the international stage.

We believe the University’s enduring purpose of benefiting society compels it to take swift action to preserve the journal and sustain its continued publication, preferably within the University itself. At the very least, the University should do all it can, acting in good faith, to transfer the journal’s cultural and IP assets to another institution prepared to save it. Culturally, the University of Melbourne has benefited immensely from its support of the journal since 1945; the extinction of the journal would be its enduring loss but an even greater loss to the community the University serves.

Yesterday I joyfully attended the ceremonial sitting for Elizabeth Bennett J at the Federal Court of Australia. Her Honour (that feels so weird) is one of my favourite people; she builds communities of love and mutual support, and integrity is at the core of her being. We are so proud of you, Liz.

Photograph of the author's baby daughter, Dragon (not her real name) and her Fairy Judge Mother, Elizabeth Bennett J. Her Honour is a white woman with a short brown bob and a smile that lights up a room. She is wearing a grey suit jacket and white pinstripe shirt. Dragon is a white baby with (some) brown hair and big dark eyes. Dragon is wearing a green knitted cardigan and staring at the camera like "Mothûr, what are you doing?" Photograph taken after the ceremonial sitting at the morning tea.
