Excerpts from Charlotte Beradt’s The Third Reich of Dreams, republished in English this month after decades out of print. A work that could not be more prescient, in its exploration of how fascism invades every part of private life, even the sleeping mind.

So many unanswered questions posed in this excellent piece on the Meanjin closure. eg.
-Why the sudden irreversible decision?
-Why didn't they try to save it (community, donor drives etc)?
-Why the secrecy?
-Why use the financial viability argument now?
As if the v wealthy UniMelb can't afford it.
Meanjin's 'financial' shutdown doesn't add up
Melbourne University reported a $273 million surplus in 2024 on an operating income of $3.2 billion. It is against these figures that the 'purely financial decision' to close Meanjin has raised eyebro...

Looking forward to joining this lineup in Sydney on August 17 to celebrate Antigone Kefala’s distinctive fiction and poetry. Once undersung and marginalised, her work is gaining new admirers with recent publications here and in the US.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.
Jason Delgado (Florida Capitol reporter for Spectrum News 13) on X: "Quick look at what inside a detainment tent looks like here at Alligator Alcatraz." What is shown in the picture is a long tent structure, about 50 feet wide. There is a corridor running down the middle. On each side are three rows of bunk beds. The bunk beds are sectioned off into cells which are constructed out of chain link fence, with chain link on the ceiling as well, making each cell a literal cage. It looks to me like each cell contains 9 bunk beds, so has capacity for 18 people each.
