Issue 1 (Vol 53) is our Nostalgia edition, and it’s a proper mix of fun, weird, thoughtful, and a bit unsettling in the best way.
You’ve got horoscopes, then some big-picture pieces on climate grief and South Australia’s algal bloom, including an interview with Dr Georgina Wood about what’s driving it and why it matters. There’s also a look into the uni political ecosystem, plus a few nostalgia rabbit-holes, like the creepy, uncanny side of nostalgia and a brief history of the Tamagotchi.
We’ve also got art and poems, a gender in language piece, kink and neurodiversity, and to finish it off, Adeline Lau (Associate Lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics) gives us a healthy, cheap recipe for the financially fragile (aka students).
