Ooft.

I hate to think what our power bills are going to be; we have to have air con on day and night, which is itself a vicious cycle as to heat waves. The future is not pretty.
This freaking heatwave. I can't remember the last day not in the late 30s. Last night, I walked home at 10 PM and it was still 30 degrees. In the mornings, the house is hot and stale, and the temperature is climbing. One day of reprieve tomorrow.
The new special edition of text journal is up, edited by David McCooey and Briohny Doyle. I have a piece in there, and am looking forward to reading the other work within textjournal.scholasticahq.com/article/1554...
Finishing the book MS I've been working on for 2 years was an easy enough task. Encapsulating it in a 500-word synopsis seems like the harder thing.
Please share. π
41 where I am, too, and not dropping below 38 degrees for 8 days, but how do you get through a forecast like Mildura's? Swan Hill is probably similar.
I remember walking down a street in Elwood that week of heatwave before Black Saturday, and a little ringtail possum fell out of a tree at my feet.
That's the first time I've had to read ICE agents described as 'brave'. So brave, they don't even show their faces.
Ugh, I thought Mansfield was bad. Hang in there. Let's hope no fires.
Wow. #NoKings #Davos2026

Good God!
Solidarity with Venezuela as they resist American aggression
Exactly!
'US president Donald Trump claims that the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, and his wife have been βcaptured and flown out of the countryβ. WTAF? How can this be legal? It's not, is it?

Happy NY 2026. I woke up this morning and wrote a Substack open.substack.com/pub/danineth...
A year in reading (Not pictured:The Season by Helen Garner,The Place of Tides by James Rebanks, You Must Remember This by Sean Wilson, The Granddaughter, by Bernhard Schlink, The Sun was Electric Light by Rachel Morton, Before, Between and After by Edita Mujkic, The Mother Shadow by Cynthia Banham.
I saw someone on here extolling the charms of the LibGen library (which steals books and academic papers globally) and pointed out it wasn't a good place. She said she believes knowledge is for everyone. As if real, ethical libraries didn't exist.
