8. They grossly underestimate me. I’m not fighting for my job only. I will fight all the way for my students, for my research assistants, for my volunteers, for my community.

White supremacists are cowards who slink around corridors of power and throw matches at the grassroots.

7. It is about removing Palestine from the Australian academy.

Concurrent with this witchhunt are the countless academics being intimidated, bullied, disciplined, censored for speaking against genocide. How best to demonstrate the costs of refusing silence?

Bring somebody down.

Such a shame. SLV has done some fabulous things for readers and writers. The general staff there are always so lovely and excellent at what they do, and it’s pretty clear the person who needs to go in order to commence cleaning up this mess.

Also, knowing a fair few teachers, I’m pretty sure they won’t be rushing to bring their students back to programming to effectively break a picket line.

And please say his name: Ayman Gherbawi, also killed in Khan Younis.

It brings me great sadness to share on the morning after the White House Correspondents Dinner that two more Palestinian journalists were killed yesterday, bringing the total to 143. Please say his name: Ibrahim Al-Gharbawi, killed in Khan Younis.

I can't believe this SLV stuff has been going on for two months now. The time and resources that management has invested in trying to smear writers and librarians is just breathtaking
