One day, French philosophers will write books about this

'In an era where identity politics is being weaponised against the very people it has sought to make visible, how can we reclaim complexity?' HIghly recommend So Mayer's brilliant essay on bodies, art and fascism, now available in the US. asterismbooks.com/product/a-nazi…

One of the great unexpected pleasures of writing the Pellinor books is how many readers set its poems to music 😍

This is why Australians have little respect for political leaders.
Rockliff presides over an abuse factory at Ashley detention centre, which houses girls as young as 10, and it continues destroying lives under him to this day. And he has the nerve to send out a tweet like this.

“You call it profiling, I call it risk management.” Disgusting conduct from State Library Vic management.

Very excited to have my short story ‘Act of God’ published in The Saturday Paper

A big thank you to Alison Croggon for continually supporting emerging writers 🙏🏼

isn't it funny how people* assume you 'humanise' someone with big emotional moments and sweeping arcs of love and grief but the most instantly relatable stories are prosaic and petty - being bored in algebra or embarrassed that you announced a sneeze and then didn't sneeze

My The Saturday Paper profile of Archie Moore, as he completed his Golden Lion-winning kith and kin for the Venice Biennale.

The jury said the installation “stands out for its strong aesthetic, its lyricism and its invocation of a shared loss of an occluded past” thesaturdaypaper.com.au/culture/visual…

“We are all one and share a responsibility of care to all living things now and into the future.”

Apropos of absolutely nothing, (jk) if you want to better understand the relationship between queer identities and the Holocaust (and modernist art) may I recommend this fantastic book by So Mayer peninsulapress.co.uk/products/a-naz…
