Today is the last day of the Future Fellowship that I’ve been doing for the last five years. If any of the work we’ve done in thinking about queer in Indigenous lives, creativity, the colonial project of gender and everything else has had an impact on your work or life I’d love to hear from you.

Australian kids could always run their own servers/communities on Mastodon, and set their own rules for moderation - keeping all the Malcom Roberts out.
PS this new social media ban for under 16s is ridiculous. Raised on technology, they'll figure it out quickly

lol Malcolm Roberts asking why Bluesky is exempted from the social media ban. He claims it could be "political bias" because it is a "left wing hangout" and X is included and it's a "conservative hangout".
eSafety says Bluesky has been assessed as "very low risk" with around 50,000 Australian users

Waiting for them to dry. Turned out a bit odd, but (mostly) free drawn and bad eyesight, so not too concerned about imperfections. It's like a butterfly inside a butterfly. Or it has an aura? First time lino-printing since the late 70s.

I'm guessing the QT post going around about animal sightings 'in the wild' means uncaged or perhaps non-suburban, but we all coexist with wildlife everyday.

Black flying fox (inside the house once)
Great bowerbird (bower down the street)

I'm doing a linoprint workshop tomorrow. Not made a lino block for nearly 50 years, and drawing is not something I'm good at. But I need a creative challenge. The workshop's theme is Winged Insects. The novel I'm writing has a grotesque butterfly-man narrator, so I'll use him for inspiration. 1/2

If I saw a brown snake and a Great White Shark in my neighbourhood I would not help them onto the tram. But I wish we had left corridors for Indigenous plants, animals, bees, butterflies & birds. We're so much the poorer for never seeing them here.
