nothing here but the dirty dozen

issue 157 - 14th November, 2021

CJW: Seems I need to apologise - each issue I tell you that you can support us by becoming a premium subscriber, but the link I was providing didn’t actually take you to the right place. My bad. I’ve sorted that out now, so if you would like to support us, you’ve got two options:

nothing here but outsourced torture

issue 146 - 8th August, 2021

I’m coming atcha from Wurundjeri lands in Melbourne, in lockdown number 6 (Lock Fast, Lock Furious), and I can’t travel more than 5 kilometres from my house. Again. This time we’ve got a robust climate section (there’s just so much going on, though I never read it ‘cause I spend enough time crying in the shower…) as well as billionaire migration, anarchist prepping, memes, and more.

CJW: My mental health has taken another dive, and I’m finding it basically impossible to engage with my article reading, at all. Usually when this happens I can still read, or at least skim, the articles, but I might struggle when it comes to writing them up for the newsletter - this time around though, I can barely bring myself to read them.

So, I’m going to be taking a bit of a break from being your current events sin-eater. I decided that while I’m taking a minor break, I might dive into this list of movies I’ve been keeping around for ages, and finally get around to watching them. Thus I present to you, the inaugural August Movie August (because heaven-forbid I actually take any time off-off).

Below I’ve included my list of movies so that if you want to play along at home, you can. And if you do, feel free to hit me up with your thoughts and I might include them along with my own in my next dispatch.

nothing here but dicks in space

issue 144 - 25th July, 2021

CJW: Welcome, welcome. You'll notice below that I've decided to replace the Articles, URL, and Data Viz sections with topics. That way you can home in on the subjects you're interested in and skip over the ones you aren't. It makes so much sense I don't know how I didn't think of it before now.
