Announcing the latest title in Open Humanities Press' Combinatorial Books: Gathering Flowers series, which is edited by Janneke Adema, Simon Bowie, Gary Hall and Rebekka Kiesewetter:
Publishing Activism within/without a Toxic University, edited by the Radical Open Access Collective
Co-published by Post Office Press (https://hcommons.org/members/pop/) and OHP, this experimental booklet brings together reflections from Radical Open Access (https://radicaloa.postdigitalcultures.org/) members on publishing activism and its relationship to the neoliberal university. Created as a side project to the Radical Open Access III: From Openness to Social Justice Activism conference (https://radicaloa.postdigitalcultures.org/conferences/radicaloa3/), it explores how publishing can respond to the ongoing crisis in higher education.

“David Richardson, [of Australian Institute,] calculated that in 2004 the combined wealth of the AFR richest 200 was equivalent to 8% of Australia’s annual GDP. Now they are worth 24.5% of our annual GDP.”
Take your time… think about this for a while. A quarter of Australia’s GDP… let it sink in. The ‘lucky country’?

On the Hebrew University’s invitation to Javier Milei and why it shouldn’t surprise anyone
#Argentine President Javier #Milei is expected to arrive in Jerusalem tomorrow to speak at the Hebrew University. Miley is admired by the Israeli right for his unwavering support of Israel and his promise to relocate the Argentinian embassy to #Jerusalem.
Since taking office, Milei has slashed over 70% of public university budgets, vetoing a law to ensure adequate funding and accusing faculty members at the University of Buenos Aires of corruption. The university’s budget has seen a 26% cut while the Argentinian secret service budget increased by 68%. Over 60% of university employees are now below the poverty line. While austerity measures might be argued for, Milei's actions appear to be a deliberate attack on education, #liberalism, and potential political opposition.
There have been growing calls to boycott the Hebrew University. Two Dutch universities have recommended suspending academic partnerships, citing the institution’s complicity in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The Hebrew University was found to be directly training Israeli military intelligence officers through the Havatzalot program. The university develops military technologies used in #Gaza through Talpiot program. The campus was built on illegally occupied Palestinian land in East Jerusalem and armed soldiers attend classes on campus, creating militarized environment.
New advice: minimise existing cooperation with three Israeli universities https://www.erasmusmagazine.nl/en/2025/05/28/new-advice-minimise-existing-cooperation-with-three-israeli-universities/

See also Maya Wind's book, Towers of Ivory and Steel, investigates the material realities of this involvement, arguing that Israeli universities are deeply embedded in the state and implicated in decades of Palestinian dispossession.

Hey #PaulKeating, I've been harsh on your #NeoLiberalism, suits and French clock-collecting.
But am impressed by your thoughts around who should get an OA (or CA).
There is a petition which would impose a non-CA status on a certain #ScottMorrison, former PM.

“Let’s be clear. The empire doesn’t just need cheap labor. It needs labor that can’t say no. … This is how you build a workforce that never organizes. Never strikes. Never complains when the paycheck is light or the shift too long. … Their fear bleeds into every breakroom. Every factory. Every warehouse. Their silence becomes the standard. Their suffering sets the bar. … It’s labor management. And it works.”
—Justin McAffee, How Power Turns Chaos Into Currency

“The story they told was efficiency. Innovation. The free market lifting all boats. But the truth is carved into the street: only a few got boats. Everyone else is swimming with bricks in their pockets. … CEOs raked in a thousand times what their workers made. … This was the plan. … Starve communities…, then sell them back scraps of what was once theirs. Convince people it was inevitable. That the market is nature.”

The cancer at the heart of America is #neoliberalism. Over the past 60 years, successive generations in America have seen their probability of being able to live a dignified life stripped from them bit by bit. We have been turned into serfs and slaves, all over again, by the #aristocracy, the owners of Nature. And the #demagogues want you to blame #scapegoats, like ”welfare queens”, “immigrants”, or “trans women”, so that you won’t notice how they are robbing us all blind, behind the scenes.

...IMO things could only end the way things ended: accelarating #GlobalWarming and mass extinction-level events (#ELE's).
#BigOil and their decades of lies and lobbyism, @MichaelBlume calls this #Fossilism, are at the very epicenter of this progressing #CivilizationImplosion.
If you (re-read) the implicitly linked thread about #Buchanan, I'm not the only one that thinks that way. (You probably, too ;))
Thanks for the link on #Argentina. I'll...

This is not TikTok ;) - anything goes.
I've have got the (unverified) hypothesis that neoliberalism, apart from being responsible for the MAGA rebellion in the US that made Trumpism mainstream, it is a or even the root-cause of the turbocapitalism that enabled #BigOil to comid ecocide.
All resources on Earth being limited, and the economic paradigm being "growth...,"

You are quite right in your assesment, Mina, though you focus on the 1 of 3 #neoliberal
strands that is the pillar of #Reagonomics and #Trumpism, #Buchanam's #VirginiaSchool:
"...unlike even the most property-friendly founders #AlexanderHamilton and #JamesMadison, 👉#Buchanan wanted a private governing elite of corporate power that was wholly released from public accountability.👈" 1)

..."...the Virginia school, as Buchanan’s brand of economic and political thinking is known, is a kind of cousin to the better-known, market-oriented #Chicago and #AustrianSchool|s — proponents of all three were members of the #MontPelerinSociety, 👉an international #neoliberal organization which included #MiltonFriedman and #FriedrichHayek." 👈
