I know Twitter isn't what it used to be and I 'should' delete my account. But I'm not ready to give up my tweets! This tweet meant I could look up @clairexinwen's review via Wayback Machine 🙏
I also HIGHLY recommend @madrgriffiths 'When Abuse Tops the Charts: On Female Agency and Storytelling Through Pop Music' and @clairexinwen 'An Apocalyptic Sensibility: A review of Ling Ma's SEVERANCE' ❤❤

Marginalised writers often feel pressure to write about pain, shame and trauma. Writing about joy can therefore be a radical act of self-preservation and self-expression.
Joy can be mundane. Joy can be fleeting. Joy can be unexpected. Importantly, joy reminds us to be attentive.
Thank you to @OverlandJournal for publishing this incredible statement of solidarity in defence of academic freedom. Humbled and so grateful for the support. I stand in unequivocal solidarity with Professor Chelsea Watego, @SenatorThorpe @SammakTasnim , @Sarah__Schwartz , @SaraSalehTweets , Matt Chun and all who fight for the right to speak out against genocide.
We are overjoyed to announce Fresh Off The Books: Australia’s first-ever literary initiative to centre and celebrate Pasifika storytellers.
12 Pasifika writers will each receive financial support, mentoring and publishing opportunities.

Just because you're showing something, it doesn't mean you're showing everything. ... You've got to err on the side of the subtly erotic when speaking of such things.

i hate when a <3 gets automatically turned into a heart emoji, if i'm typing <3 it's very intentional and a completely different vibe than a heart emoji do not make that decision for me
