Husband was watching a Sigourney Weaver movie last night
I, six drinks into my evening, joked,
"You know, before the Sigourney Weaver was invented, people had to weave their own Sigourneys by hand".
He did not find it funny at all but I thought it was gold 😂😂

What does it mean to be a man in 2025? Given my men's mental health advocacy, I was asked by The Geraldton Guardian to weigh in on this topic, alongside other Midwest blokes, to mark International Men's Day today.

Yesterday was one of the most satisfying career moments I've ever had. 🤩🇨🇵
To celebrate the French translation of INVISIBLE BOYS I was invited to speak at Y-Con Conference in Paris to launch the book. Recording a 20 min interview in French was very special - I explain why in this 2 min excerpt.

I just finished this book and it’s so good. It’s so validating to see myself represented in media. Rural and regional queer millennial stories are important.
I hope this book serves as a reminder to city folk that being queer in the regions isn’t the same as in the cities and it’s still a struggle.

Hangin on stage with me new mate the Premier of Western Australia Roger Cook last night at the 2026 Australian of the Year Awards ceremony. I didn't win the Australia's Local Hero award, but it was a real honour to be a finalist & I'm grateful for it forever. Straight to the pool room.
