Are you, like me, a sucker for every stupid listicle gift guide you see? Here's my list - three sets of five things I've loved this year, and 100% guarantee that none of them are stupid.
Five things I've loved this year - and new masterclasses for 2026
Books, songs, recipes - and a new writing course with Emily Perkins

With you Victoria! Sending love and solidarity in support of preserving the real work of the State Library of Victoria and in resistance against stupidity. 💪
Calling all Melbourne & Victoria #bookgroups & #readinggroups! Rally together this Saturday to help save the State #Library of Victoria, on its steps, at 12.30. (Here's a pic of the poet Edith Sitwell & big reader Marilyn Monroe: reading makes friends.) #StateLibraryofVictoria #ReadingMakesFriends

Brief re-entry to Bluesky to let you know of our self-directed online writing course, 'Elements of Fiction'. Emily Perkins & I chose 5 topics: Voice, Texture, Tension, Time, and People - most of which we think are under-explored in writing classes. Very affordable & (we modestly think) excellent!
