New year, new intro thread (2024) 💛
I’m a writer, performance maker, creative producer and community organiser.
I make performances, installations, experiences, presentations, poetry, essays, digital exchanges and moments of connection.

In this meeting, Vicki informed me that my Fellowship & award money has been rescinded. She was not able to give me much information. But I did point out that I had a contract, signed recently by myself and the SLQ Board. Again, this is not her fault. 3/
I'm a broke nobody who detests genocide, and those attacking me are privileged cowards. I won't speak to Murdoch media, but I would consider other media. Also, I've now got a (non controversial) historical literary fiction manuscript that needs a publisher. 11/11
PS - I’m mostly over at the sky of blue these days and sharing micro poems there instead.
Not visiting here so much anymore…
Also still in the land of instant(photos) and sometimes the book of face. Dabbling with the wooly guy.
As lylyeeoftheriver in most places.

Middle grade sci fi novel in verse and epistolary. Cosy, queer joy and lots of poems about snacks.
I co-wrote and recorded a song y’all

We call old memory into the circle/ shaky voices brave/ we bump elbows and colour the day/ this many-way street an invitation to meet/ wherever you are/ whatever you need/ whoever you choose/ together we breathe// #tinytwitterpoem

If you doubt whether we should stop the two way arms trade with Israel, maybe read this on Elbit, the Israeli military killing machine, given billions by Australian taxpayers https://t.co/wREffgVPKy
Only 1 week remains for you to purchase Polaroids from this year’s Halloween Polaroid Project.
We’re sprinting through the streets. We’re syncing art cycles with #Gaga. We’re hungry for brains.
Don’t miss out on your Polaroids!

I see people saying “why should we give free lunches to schoolchildren?” and I think some folks truly have no idea what it’s like to grow up in poverty, never knowing where your next meal is coming from, forever being one paycheck away from eviction.
Let me explain some things.
I received the examiners report for my Honours project today:
"The creative artefact is of a high and publishable quality – I hope to see it in a bookshop one day soon!"

I'm so proud of this little project.
