Judge EOI is open for the Nib Literary Award for research-based literature. Two positions open – one for the usual 3-year term and one covering my maternity leave. Happy to answer qs in my DMs. haveyoursay.waverley.nsw.gov.au/nibliterarya...
It’s such an endurance test. Had to do it twice this pregnancy bc over 40 🤢 but omg that egg roll afterwards
Omg the first bite of food after you do the pregnancy blood glucose test
I have just joined my “international stores” thread to this one, would love a boost! Thanks in advance 🥰
For sure!
For sure. I reckon Next Gen will be the first, as I remember watching that myself quite young. Excited to (hopefully) raise some Trekkies 😊
Love this book! See my words below. Excited that it’ll be out in the world soon! 🧟
That’s lovely feedback, thank you :)
Thanks, Michael! Just saw the news re your new book out soon. Excited to read it 😊
Haven’t published an at-length review for a while & certainly laboured over this one! Thanks, Cordite, for having me back. cordite.org.au/reviews/meye...
You are absolutely not too old for either of these things ❤️
Thank you!!

Took P outside for a bit once the cool change came through but realised there were tiny particles of ash raining down on our skin. Had thoughts exactly like this below. And just thinking of the people fighting the fires, in such extreme conditions. Awful & devastating.
Richard Flanagan on point: "But with this act of utter folly and appalling weakness, the Adelaide Festival board – and the politicians who direct it – have, by scapegoating a Palestinian writer, now destroyed Adelaide Writers Week for the foreseeable future..." www.smh.com.au/national/if-...
Hi, bushfire survivor here and NSW RFS volunteer.
If you think you are going to stay and defend your property...Don't.
You are not prepared for the intense radiant heat, the ember showers, the smoke, the collapse of all of your energy.
If you have been instructed to leave.
Leave early.

And if you’re thinking, “I’m just one person, what difference can I make?” my pinned post has you covered:
Thanks Gordon! Hope you’ve had a great reading (& everything) year :)

Haven’t been able to read much lately for various reasons but an Alex Cothren story from Playing Nice Was Getting Me Nowhere once or twice a week is cutting through the fog. Bloody excellent short fiction.
I’m getting so many of these! Hate.
