Nobody is going to subject themselves to the trials and tedium of applying for and maintaining eligibility for NDIS unless they genuinely need the support. It’s not a program being rorted by disabled people.

I’ll die on this hill.

to all the nice people who asked me what help I needed after that ridiculous QLD politician stole a $15,000 literary award from me, I need an income. Freelance work/writing gigs. I need people to mention me around tables discussing opportunities for writers. Work such as >

Thread: update on the State Library of Queensland & QLD government's unethical rescindment of my Black&Write Fellowship, with references to their letter (received today); and a call for action:

PSA: it's Sorry Day today, not Apology Day. Learn the difference. And please be respectful.

[Ren Wyld @1KarenWyld]

to the person working at The Age/Sydney Morning Herald that is passing on my email address without consent (I have no idea who they are or how they got it) - stop being so unethical. Ask me first

[Rowena 🍉 😷 @Rowena_SW]

@1KarenWyld So much love and solidarity.

[Ren Wyld @1KarenWyld]

As promised, here is my acceptance speech for the Black & Write Fellowship that I wasn't able to give today, because the event was postponed and my award rescinded (possibly under direction of QLD Arts Minister) - 1/

No one is afraid of commentators. They're afraid of community organizers, people handing out free lunches to schoolkids and teaching them history. That's far more of a real threat than guns and cheap talk from unscary people who don't intimidate anyone.

[Josh Ellis @jzellis]

If you love your neighbors, protect them and defend them. Hide them if need be. If you love your children, fight for a future they might actually have rather than the future you thought they'd have. Stop buying into this broken system because you think you should. Be smarter.

[Josh Ellis @jzellis]

Look, the one thing I've learned in my life is that you cannot trust systems to protect you. You should be able to but you can't. You always have to have a backup plan for when systems fail - governments, corporations, whatever. You cannot rely on competence or even good intent.

🧵I saw an Aboriginal aunty busking in Newtown last night. She plays the saxophone & it was special.

I listened for 20mins, dropped $50 into her case & said "You remind me of Marlene Cummings, the great blues & Jazz artist from way back."

She looked up, crying: "I am Marlene."

I would be happy to.
