Hey, if you’re struggling this Christmas season, me too. I see you.
Sometimes the most important thing is to survive it.

Look, lots of fun things for Christmas catching up online with my sister. Lots of lovely pressies. And a beautiful day outside with birds singing, to be fair mostly squawking, and just a nice relaxing time.

I love Christmas. But since my mum and brother and sister - who all loved it - have died, I don’t have the desire to celebrate with others. I’m at home writing for the entire season anyway, so it’s lovely to reflect and reproduce some of the rituals we always shared. Oh, and food!

Check in on your trans and gender diverse kin. There’s a lot of positive stories going around at the moment and they’re really powerful, but they can also do a number on you if your mental health is not great. Check in.

I’ve met so many amazing people on here (and the *other place*) who challenge the colonial project of gender, some in big ways, some just through your actions. I just want to say that I really appreciate you.
You are changing this world for the better.

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.

Just gonna say this: our families don't all hate or revile us as queer Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people aren't trying to find a way to alienate our families and friends. This white queer rendering of queer Aboriginal people as cast out by mob is ridiculous and a colonial fantasy. And racist.

At the heart of this work is the wealth of care, thought, innovation and support that exists in the practice of queer Indigenous creatives. Look it’s great that we have lists, but these are real people making incredible contributions, and I’m so grateful for that.

Surely the point of a large institution is that some people working there understand finances and others understand other things, like physics and literature and how to maintain 10000 computers and how to stop students getting suicidally depressed. The problem is *not* that everyone can't do it all.
