The Tortured Poets Department. An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.
And then all that’s left behind is the tortured poetry.

@centrelinkgovau@ServicesGovAU My husband was accepted for the DSP. We want to know a) what does this now mean? When are reviews etc (we’ve had no contact other than a letter), b) he was promised back pay from March but got pretty much nothing, c) why it’s less than the jobseeker payment? Thanks!
@centrelinkgovau Day 5 of calling the disability support line, multiple times a day, and all we get is ‘we are currently busy, goodbye’. How an earth are we supposed to sort out issues with payments when no one answers and the workers at Centrelink say they can’t help in person.
@TSTheErasTour Yep. Turns out there are lots of greedy Swiftie fans who decided they would buy tickets to 3+ shows and not leave any for those who didn't get in at all.
@Ticketek_AU@taylorswift13 It's crazy that I've just seen someone post about getting tickets to their THIRD show...yet so many of us are still desperately trying to get anything! How anyone thinks this is a fair system, I'll never understand.
@Ticketek_AU@Czar_71 Right Where You Left Me (in the queue) (@Ticketek_AU Version).
Sorry I'll stop eventually. This is just keeping me sane while I hit my 7th hour waiting.
@jenary__ It's actually the worst. I have been in the queues for 6 hours so far with no luck...and yet people have been in them for less time than me and have bought tickets for Sydney AND Melbourne. #ugh
@Ticketek_AU These queues feel a lot like random selection and that's suer frustrating. I have waited in queues for 6 hours with no luck at Sydney or Melbourne, yet a friend got on hours later and has already gotten 4x tickets to TWO separate shows. @Ticketek_AU#makesnosense
@Smeebird27@fesshole I have a little friend who’s two and yesterday I waved at her family as they drove past. Unprompted, she quietly said ‘oh, goodbye my Renee’. If you work enough with kids, you’ll know that many 2 year olds can articulate things. It’s not always clear sentences but it can be!
