Dear Americans, even if your current rapist president did fellate your former sexual harasser-in-chief, one gay consensual blow job is not scandalous - the genocide these creeps are running and their pedophile rape island shenanigans easily top the rotten shit cake you lot call the status quo.

Today I tried to explain to my hysterical toddler why his hair is falling out in clumps.
It went about as well as you could expect (awfully). Later, after his midday nap, we had a head-shaving party where I let him shave my head, and his uncle and cousin did theirs on FaceTime.

A poem I wrote some months ago showed up at my door today in the first issue of the relaunched Southerly magazine.

Bunch of people trying to come in here and talk about a range of other nonsense while accusing me of missing the point lmao. Children. I beg you to learn to read. It’s an immediate block for anyone trying to waste my time. I am speaking to the literal issue named in the article.

First of all, I named the literal issue in the article. You named something else entirely—and it’s equally stupid.

The Nightmare Sequence is out now in the US through Nightboat Books. Here’s an excerpt of Safdar’s art - one of his sequences is called “genocide culture”. NB: All artist royalties will be donated to Palestinian aid nightboat.org/book/the-nig...

Another Father’s Day in the genocide. 700 days of relentless massacres, bombings, and torture.

There has never been a weaker or more evil human population on this earth. We have earned for ourselves that distinction, to have allowed everything we have seen to continue for two goddamn years.

Recognition in the genocide.

The all rhetoric and no action club in one table, a pack of genocidal hypocrites.

“Where are the sanctions? The expulsion of Israeli ambassadors? The suspension of arms shipments? The closure of embassies? There is nothing, because this outrage is not genuine.” Stop falling for the rhetoric. Look at their actions. open.substack.com/pub/sakr/p/r...

This is the last poem in my book, The Nightmare Sequence. I was thinking about it today when I saw this—not new of course, hence the poem, but rather a repetition of atrocity, of desecration.

Every minute another video offers
A view of death without love
Which is how I define apocalypse.

As we have been saying for 2 years now, despite the government’s deflections and outright lies, this country is deeply complicit—we are supplying essential jet parts to Israel as they carry out a holocaust of Palestinians, starving and burning them to death daily. declassifiedaus.org/2025/07/11/r...

Labor’s unelected Anti-Semitism Overlord recently shat out a 20-page document demanding sweeping oversight of pretty much all areas of government to stamp out dissent against her beloved murder colony overseas which is starving kids to death daily. Here’s a snapshot of her sterling analytical powers

Here’s some of the things said about my novel.

Whether poetry or prose, I’ve got you covered.

I could weep. The arts in this country is so broken, and that’s just another reason why certain philanthropists wield outsized influence here. There are so many better models in the world and we should adopt them.

Here is a fraction of the nice things some poets have said about my work.

You need to elevate your poetry and I need to feed my kids, yullah, let’s get started.

I'm leaving my day job and while I find what's next for me, I'm offering my expertise to help you get your manuscript publication-ready.

I’m an award-winning poet and novelist with books out in Australia, UK, and the US.

I'm also open to workshops and commissions. Get in touch if interested!

Huge news. This is a win for the artistic community who collectively rejected this racist censorship from the start and never let up - particularly Khaled’s peers who refused to take up the poisoned pavilion. Solidarity in action.

In 2010 there were articles about the Pentagon rating the climate crisis as a strategic threat. The CIA even started a centre to collect information on climate change. www.theguardian.com/world/2010/j...

New essay from me: The End of Reality, published by @theshot.net.au thanks to @davemilbo.bsky.social 🙏🏽💜 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

One of the more confused and grotesque headlines and subheadings l've ever seen. There is no reluctance, anywhere, among human beings demanding an end to Israel's starvation of civilians, kids and babies.

Freedom in the genocide

As we come into the blessed month of PLR/ ELR payments, this is a reminder that you can support authors not just by buying our books but also by borrowing them at your local library or getting them to order a copy if they don't already have it.

I wrote about the election, and the many false narratives that have permeated, both before and since. Like when Penny Wong justified not sanctioning Israel by saying we only did things with our allies, only for Albanese to this week say, "We follow our own path.” greenagenda.org.au/2025/06/post...
