So long! This little online magazine-cum-experiment in broadening the scope of what it means to be a man has ceased publishing. Please settle in for the obligatory ‘letter from the editor’, which may kid itself that it is instructive.

'What a turn to conversation and confession as solutions to men’s mental health overlooks is that men’s unhappiness is depoliticised when it is individualised.' Ashley Thomson (@thatthomson) on talk as the trickle-down economics of mental health. overland.org.au/2019/12/talk…
"Removing patriarchy is not about being anti-men and pro-women, it should be about embracing anti-essentialist thinking." - via @TheLiftedBrow

New podcast out today.
This one's a little bit about patriarchy, a little bit about race and class, and a lot about mob movies. Scorsese's #TheIrishman prompts some deep thinking about the crossroads of masculinity and capitalism.

"When we look to dictators as the embodiment of authoritarianism, we may miss the authoritarian tendencies of our own democratically-elected politicians and the ensuing degradation, however incremental, of our democratic systems."
Great piece, this
Macho strongmen, daggy dads—what's the difference, asks Ruth McHugh-Dillon, when the system remains the same? This new essay penetrates the cult of personality, looking through to patriarchy, power—and meaningful resistance.

New podcast: 'Movember, For Steve'!
In this episode @thatthomson talks dogs, babies, Bojack Horseman and where he stands on the whole Movember schtick. (Spoiler: it's not a glowing review, but thanks for asking, Steve.)

We done went and made more podcast, this time about Pierre Bourdieu, Audre Lorde, men and crying, and Annabel Crabb’s latest Quarterly Essay. Enjoy. #np soundcloud.com/homer-half-ho…
This is a loss. A lovely, insightful and bravely unresolved podcast. Thanks for all the eps @SimonCopland and @bencriley.
It’s the last episode of Queers! At least, for now.
This week we reflect on four years of discussion about queer politics and culture, wondering what’s changed, what we’ve learned, and whether all of this was worthwhile.

Our podcast is back after a wee ten-month hiatus. Tune in for a bunch of natter about Stella Donnelly, Phoebe Bridgers, men’s spatial awareness, men’s fashion and hiatuses. soundcloud.com/homer-half-ho…
We're looking for deep, incisive writing on Australian political masculinities, focusing on conservative politics. What does masculinity have to do with these men, their decisions, & their presentation?
Pitches due 20/09. Published pieces are paid $100.

Having just wrapped up a chat w @HeadsUpGuys there is no doubt that loneliness is the epidemic for the men of today. Here's a great piece from @thisishomer reflecting on how difficult it can seem to connect. 'The hovering thumb: On mates I don’t call' homeronline.com/mateship-mas…
New on Homer: Ellen Muller explores the fat flat father – from Peppa Pig to The Simpsons to Bob's Burgers – and the shifting meanings of shape in animation. homeronline.com/the-fat-flat…

> @thisishomer also ran a raw and honest analysis of my work on perpetrators. From the courageous @alexosullivan84: "I fear that if I think of my abusive ex-partner, & men like him, as anything less than a monster, I will somehow fall victim again." bit.ly/33N4fVW
New on Homer: A tragedy for the perpetrator. @alexosullivan84 speaks with @jessradio on her new book, See What You Made Me Do: Power, Control and Domestic Abuse. homeronline.com/a-tragedy-fo…
