I've never seen a Scream movie 🫣 Whenever I land in Sydney, I think of how USA media mispronounce it

Hello Sidenee 🛩

No one is illegal on stolen land #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Good morning. Keep your empty land acknowledgements. Give back the land and waters that have been stolen. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Such disrespect for The Murder Bird

*flips tables*

anyway I had the privilege of listening to actual experts this evening. Three brilliant and indefatigable Palestinian women Lana Tatour, Randa Abdel Fattah and Paula Abood launch Race and the Question of Palestine (Tatour and Lentin 2025) at Gumbramorra Marrickville.

If Wedge-Tail gets eliminated, I'll vote for your boy. We live in interesting times, the age of monsters, and we need to appreciate large birds that can rip bad people apart

So I submitted the complete manuscript of my new book to the publisher. Hope it'll be out in the world late next year. It's about why Australia's role as an overseas coloniser was strikingly obvious to all and sundry till the 1970s, then was abruptly (and conveniently) forgotten.

This is work in progress, but I'll soon update this page to contain an extensive archive of racist comments that I receive, primarily on X. The sheer volume is hard to keep up with, but it's important to document. I'll share the raw archive with the Islamophobia Register.

Confession: I know for a fact that something is brewing. And it is lit 🔥 All will be revealed next week.

Didn't Abbott's last book get pulped and turned into asphalt for a highway? Maybe this next one can be used to build walls for affordable apartments.

@southerlylitmag.bsky.social, so-called Australia's oldest literary journal, has quietly woken from a long hiatus to join us in the Bluesky. This must be a sign of something brewing. So give them a follow.

Editing is love and editors want your writing to do what you want it to do and we will help you! ❤️

Grief/rage today as I reflect on two years of witnessing apartheid Israel's live-streamed brutal genocide of Palestinian people. My thoughts are with the 100000's Israel has murdered, starved, abducted, tortured; and everyone who mourns.
From the river to the sea, free the people, free Palestine

Over the weekend, another young man's life was stolen by the system. At just 30 years old, he died alone inside the walls of Hakea prison.

To his family, I send my love, solidarity, and strength.
We must demand justice for his life taken too soon by this violent system.

The fluke that exposed Australia’s greatest museum heist — extract from my new book in this weekend’s Fin Review:

Should have been a musical

I'm not a real bohemian writer, because I use Absinthe as the base of a Mojito I created, which includes Pomegranate syrup instead of sugar. It works, trust me

Eating fish n chips on a Friday like a good Catholic.

Drinking Absinthe in the tradition of a broke bohemian writer, while penning lyrical, surrealist tales.

Editing drunk because shut up Hemingway you're not my real dad

Let me be clear: to expect Israel to deliver any humanitarian aid to Gaza is an example of genocide denial, given that genocidal intent has been made clear *repeatedly*. Do you think they are going to consider this two-year genocidal project just because Greta backed down?
