Telling my mum tonight about the abuse I’ve been getting online from other Greek Australians for supporting the Voice

Her response “they should be ashamed of themselves have they forgotten how we were spat on, abused & told to leave, we should be standing with Aboriginal people”

An honour to be shortlisted among European newsrooms and consortia that are far bigger than us @TheShiftNews and have far more resources than we do. #Malta is on the map, and I'm proud our story was shortlisted for the European Prize in Daphne's name.

Very unhappy to find at least 8 of my books being used to train generative AI, without my permission or any acknowledgment or compensation for my labours. Sharing with the @asauthors - please support creative artists, we are irreplaceable! #authors #artificalintelligence

Please don’t forget about Covid, friends. It has not ‘gone away’. These figures for NSW (from the week to last Friday) are just a fraction of actual infections, since many people aren’t testing/reporting. Your ‘cold’ or ‘flu’ could be Covid.
Take care.

What is going on @abcmelbourne? The broadcast is coming out scrambled through the app!

Watch Sarah Holland-Batt's remarkable acceptance speech for her #2023StellaPrize-winning poetry collection, The Jaguar.

In her speech, @the_shb reflects on caregiving and its relationship with women’s creative work, the language of grief, and the solace to be found in poetry.

'What could be more humiliating than to write and be read, to be thought about and perceived by strangers? And then the worst: to be dissected, publicly and openly, for all the things we dedicated ourselves as teenagers to hiding?...'

Walls

She puts her ear to the dam
as if listening for Morse code
but she’s trying to hear
the sounds of the waves
hitting the thick walls.
She murmurs to them
willing them to hit harder.
She believes that
one day the raging water
will break the hard wall
of her cell.
