there are about 3 places in Oz you can write interesting, alternative, explorative work, that leans left. With Meanjin gone, there's about 2. This country is a cultural backwater that grows more stale and stagnant by the day.

Meanjin closing down? This is OBSCENE. A luminous staple of the Australian literary scene, over decades. Unbelievable and heartbreaking @Meanjin #auslit https://t.co/YC6CVmn8iu

Great twenty minute jog, mostly up steep hills. Noticed a huge tree down, probably from the winds in August. It had taken other trees down, with it. Right across a driveway...

Very sad to report that Meanjin is being shut down today. I've worked with the 85-year-old publication for about a decade and it's an incomprehensible loss to Australia's cultural fabric. https://t.co/p3Rw8Q72YB
