(@frenteofficial) @angiehartmusic seeing your 2008 performance of "Body and Soul" from Starstruck on @SBS @RocKwiz tonight reminded me of this poem that I wrote for you in 1994 -

@ellie_pages @MelJRey It looks to me that you've been doing just that!

Plus, hey(!) your work is in @GreenInkPoetry : not too shabby!

By the usual measures, I think it's fair to say that you actually *are* a writer, Helen.

As our friends across the Atlantic say, "You got this!" 2/x

@ellie_pages @MelJRey I'm migrating & going through old tweets & found our exchange, so now I'm checking in on you!

& Mel is right! Stephen King even agrees with her! He writes: "If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot". 1/

@conyerclayton you posted about CPTSD & your tour in a tweet I now cannot find which is a pity because it was highly nuanced emotionally & as someone with EUPD affected me to the point that I wanted to say 1. I get it & 2. I hope it is still a wonderful experience & 3 ...

Re-upping this. The term I'm looking for is not diegetic or non-diegetic either, because that only refers to sound.

#filmstudies scholars is there a term for those moments in a film that are deliberately unknowable, e.g., Forrest Gump's speech on the Mall, the contents of the unopened package in Cast Away, or of Marsellus Wallace's briefcase? It's not quite 'empty signifier' or 'Macguffin' ...

[Clay T 🇦🇺 @noisesomeghosts]

So, we now know that @GregHuntMP @Barnaby_Joyce @M_McCormackMP @senbmckenzie @keithjpitt Christian Porter Simon Benson @Chambersgc & David Hurley all knew & said nothing.

Who else knew?

They should all be suspended.

The truth, like a smuggled budgie, will always out.

Today's Sewer Rat Walkley goes to @aclennell of @SkyNewsAust for his dogged questioning of a lying, gaslighting, proto-fascist disgraced former Australian prime minister.

I'm surprised that @CUhlmann & @andrewprobyn & other apologists aren't trying to deadcat us with questions like 'other than Engadine how many other Maccas did Morrison secretly shit himself in?' all the while staying silent about the power-grab that trashed our democracy #auspol

[Clay T 🇦🇺 @noisesomeghosts]

Thank the stars for @latingle on @abc730 ... she gets it. Hopefully when the *next* proto-fascist wants to subvert the Australian parliament the only thing standing in his/her way won't be Laura's eyebrows #auspol #SackTheGG #ScottyMinisterForEverything https://t.co/AJ8sjo2lpE

[Clay T 🇦🇺 @noisesomeghosts]

This is a national scandal that strikes at the very ❤️ of the accepted conventions surrounding our constitutional democracy & @andrewprobyn offers this milquetoast reporting that implies @senbmckenzie is an authority on ethics? #auspol
