The golden age of Impact magazine RIP

Everything in this world is transient, fleeting, ephemeral. All love must die, and sadly that includes Impact Love (OED definition: 'the pathologically obsessive fondness for and devotion to the University of Nottingham's student magazine, which results in a dangerous disregard for the wellbeing of mind and body'). In the space of the last month, editor-in-chief Dean and editor Kate have both quit, due to a fundamental lack of support from the editorial team in terms of sharing the workload, and indeed a campaign apparently aimed at actively undermining their leadership. Kate's departure was particularly undignified, forced out and faced with staff changing computer and door access codes. According to Olav, there was a suggestion that I might be approached to help steer the rudderless ship. Well, they can go fuck themselves. I've got neither the time nor the inclination. Impact Love has been stretched to breaking point. And the straw that finally broke the camel's back? This, from the most recent mailing list posting: "issue 150 in the new year is going to relaunch the magazine with a new design layout, editorial content and largely changed editorial team". I hope you fall flat on your smug fucking faces, you cunts. You know who you are.
