My latest story on moving to Edinburgh in the middle of a pandemic to be reunited with Katie. What it took and all the joy and heartache involved #COVID19Aus #travelban

I think of how human nature is programmed to search for that feeling of coming home, even if we have to look for it in far-away places and people, writes @josephpbautista

@AvantiWestCoast @nowak_paul Hi Pete, booking the journey now (last minute) is obviously more expensive compared to when I originally booked the ticket. A refund isn't really suitable here.

[Joseph P Bautista @josephpbautista]

Hi @AvantiWestCoast are tickets dated today able to be used tomorrow in line with other rail companies? Delays and cancellations throughout the whole network meant I couldn't make my connection today. Both @GWRHelp & @CrossCountryUK have said tickets are still valid tomorrow.

[Joseph P Bautista @josephpbautista]

@AvantiWestCoast @nowak_paul Why aren't today's tickets valid tomorrow? There are delays and cancellations throughout the whole country and other train providers are honouring tickets dated today for travel tomorrow. I can't make my Avanti train this evening because of delays earlier in my journey.

Lots of love to anything focused on food/culture/lifting fringe voices, short/longform articles & poetry. @SBSVoices, @sweatshopws & @OverlandJournal among my faves back home in Australia so anything similar to these would be absolutely super. TIA!

Recently moved to Edinburgh and looking for publications/authors/communities here & throughout UK to read, follow & possibly submit work to. So far found @vittleslondon & @WasafiriMag (thanks to @saramariewong) and keen for more! #writinglife #amwriting

[Dialogue Publishing @dialoguepub]

We at @dialoguebooks are shocked and saddened to hear the Government’s Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities have reported there is ‘no evidence of institutional racism’ in Britain.

In response, we wanted to show why Britain is not an exemplar of racial equality. A THREAD.

Stoked to have my article about why my #Filipino family loves the RSL published on @SBSVoices! Thank you @candicechung_ 🙌🏾

I thought the post-shower dance was the purest form of dance until I moved out; now I know that the cooking dance is truly where it's at.

The other day a coworker said I would make a terrible dictator. I think this is the best compliment I've ever received. #work #compliments
