My face when I found out I was selected as a finalist in the @VIC_YAAwards 😂 I can’t believe that this weirdo has been chosen by anyone, but it does warm my heart that #queer and #trans #grassroots arts shenanigans is “community service and social impact”

[Teddy Darling 🏳️‍🌈 @teddythedarling]

So thrilled to have hosted the first episode of The Talent on @3MBSfinemusic for 2021! And along such fine mentors @KenjiFujimura and Carrie Barr 💜🎶 what fun! Such great young musicians, bring on the rest of the season! #CommunityRadio 📻

Happy International women's day to WOC, who are out here battling not only sexism and misogyny but racism too.
Buy a WOC a treat today, she deserves it.

Listen to all 4 in one sitting and you get the exquisite reward of finding out about Footscrays secret underground “vice hole”... ! 😉 🗞 so well played 👏 so well researched, and manages to be grounded, tongue-in-cheek, and deftly aware of multiplicity all at once 💚💜

[Teddy Darling 🏳️‍🌈 @teddythedarling]

Just discovered the Underfoot podcast by @qianjinghua and @AsFarce 😱 absolutely brilliant, immersive, nuanced, and accessible local westside #melbourne #history 📚 🏭 more art by queer communists please! Listen here: https://t.co/1N7yk95n6q @MaribyrnongCC

[Teddy Darling 🏳️‍🌈 @teddythedarling]

I’m so grateful for this opportunity, bring on more recognition and more funding for queer, trans, neurodiverse, and disabled storytelling projects! 🌈🎉

[Teddy Darling 🏳️‍🌈 @teddythedarling]

Thank you so much @VIC_YAAwards for selecting me as a 2021 semi-finalist in this award! It’s a HUGE privilege to be seen and supported in my grassroots #queer, #trans, and #communityradio work 🌈 at @CampfireQueers and @3MBSfinemusic and other projects and campaigns since 2016 🏳️‍⚧️

[Teddy Darling 🏳️‍🌈 @teddythedarling]

Visibility and funding are an enormous privilege, there are so many incredible people working in the queer+intersectional community space who are continually underrecognised for their efforts 💜 who work around the clock with no funding or resources whatsoever.
