There has been a lot of angst about the newly proposed non-portability requirements for REF2021 and beyond, particularly from ECRs. I want to say upfront that I do not want to disparage such worries; I speak from a position of privilege, having a permanent position even though I am, by RCUK standards, myself an Early-Career Researcher. I do, though, want to set out why I think these fears are misplaced/over-blown.

You may remember that, a while back, the editorial board of Elsevier's journal, _Lingua_, decided to leave the publisher to setup a new journal called _Glossa_ that would be totally open access with no author-facing charges. The new journal is published by Ubiquity Press and has ongoing support from the Open Library of Humanities.

It seems to me that there are two types of "post-critical" articulations. Felski _et al_ are calling for a turn away from the idea that we should employ critique to analyse texts. That is, a call for a type of aesthetic formalism entwined with an appreciation of social entanglement. Latour also suggests turning away from critique in his "Why is Critique Running Out of Steam?" – but, that is, a critique of science.

The Lenovo G580 comes with Windows 8. It is possible to permanently lock yourself out of the operating system if you begin with a Microsoft account and migrate this to a local account.

Some thoughts to myself now voiced out loud. Meta-ethical moral relativism holds that there is no objective wrong or right between parties with different ethical views. Normative moral relativism holds that one should therefore tolerate each of these views. For many years, the political right railed against both of these forms of moral relativism.

Consortial OA funding models such as Knowledge Unlatched, the Open Library of Humanities, and others are non-classical economic setups. They are susceptible to free riders. These models have worked thus far because: * Academic libraries are not necessarily classical economic actors; * They spread the cost well and are often cheaper than options under the classical model;

There are 100 people in a room. They have $10 each. The academic speaker will give them a talk but the venue wants $50 to cover its costs (and any profit/surplus). There are 40 such talks per year. There is final indefinitely large group of people (let us call them "the general public") who might want to hear the talk but who can't afford to pay anything. Subscription logic: each person pays $0.50 and gets access to the talk.
