Omg, I made @mariaressa.bsky.social laugh tonight while we were in the lift! This woman who founded @rappler.bsky.social and fought a brutal dictator and is a Noble Peace Laureate laughed at my geeky tech joke.

Also, please buy her book “How to stand up to a dictator”.

Omg. Writing Goal #4: Get a piece published in an actual printed magazine or anthology. CHECKED!

P.S. This piece was born out of a #furiousfiction prompt

I’m in the #furiousfiction long list!!! Woohoooo! Another writing goal I can tick off this year. Happy dance. 💃💃💃

I’ve just crossed off another writer rite of passage! Finally a sub to @havehashad.com ! I’m squealing inside.

Tell me you have a VCE* student in your house without telling me you have a VCE student in your house

*VCE - Victorian Certificate of Education Exams for Year 12 students

Still no words from me. But hey! Look at this mural. 😍

They say walking is when writing actually happens. So, I’ve been walking and marvelling at sunsets since the start of the year. #writingcommunity

My first submission after a two-month rest from writing. 🥰 #happydance #furiousfiction #writingcommunity

Overhead electrical cables was my main fascination visiting Manila last week. I loved its chaotic drama, disorganised sanity, dangerous functionality. It’s a feat of innovative engineering, an artwork. #observations #writingcommunity #photographt

You know what’s better than being on a holiday?

About to start my #journey as a middle-aged person, wearing Pearl Jam t-shirt, reading an obscene book with crazy hair. Wonder if they’ll let me in the country. 🤣

Cages symbolising birds, symbolising trees we sacrificed

Two buildings dominating the land where prisoners built on stolen land

A perfect #postcard of my time in Sydney. #vss365

Here’s a photo of the Chinese Garden in Tumbulong Country (Sydney Darling Harbour) for my new co-bskyers!

G’day.

Can’t wait to for us to create a glimmering and safe space here.

I submitted my Welkin Mini story! Definitely feel the Drabble rousing in the air. Good luck to my fellow Welkin Mini-meisters. ❤️

Ok, I’ve had this dream since forever. I don’t know where I got it from, maybe watching too many soap operas. Anyway, I’ve always wanted artwork on top of my bed head. This morning I woke up, looked up… My first ever, proper art purchase as an adult. #madeit

All I want is a quiet (or noisy) place where I can gather my thoughts and get to know myself again.

Utterly dismayed. #referendum2023 #votedyes

Here’s a photo of the Kirrae Whurrong Country which I visited yesterday to remind myself how beautiful Australia is.

“Spring is cosying up with Summer,” my grandma used to say, walking the streets, sniffing the colourful ornaments on leafy trees. She called it “flowers”. There were still four seasons then, she said. I couldn’t imagine what that would’ve been like hiding underground from extreme heat. #vss365 #cosy
