  • 🔥 It took me less than 3 minutes to find these - Australian writers whose work has been not only been pirated, but fed into an international database to teach AI. There will be many more. Anyone can search the database here: https://full-stack-search-prod.vercel.app/ If you find your work in this list the current best option is to let @asauthors know… 🤯

  • Phenomenal. 🌱 One week @bundanontrust with exceptional people, wombats and kangaroos working on #creativeclimateleadership with @julies_bicycle and @creative.gov.au.
  • 📚BOOKS READ IN AUGUST: 10 (for a total of 91 so far this year). I’ve seen some mentions that posting a weekly/monthly/yearly book count is toxic. That confuses me. I post my books for transparency. I teach, I review, I judge, I interview, and what I read informs how I go about doing those things and how I perceive the world. For me it is about transparency, not competition. I mean, there are few things in life that enrich me more than books, reading and talking about it all with others. 📖 ‘Flames’, ‘The Rain Heron’ and ‘Limberlost’ by Robbie Arnott ‘Funny Ethnics’ by Shirley Le ‘Songs for the Dead and the Living’ by Sara Saleh ‘The Hummingbird Effect’ by Kate Mildenhall ‘Flawed Hero’ by Chris Masters ‘Crossing the Line’ by Nick McKenzie Not pictured: ‘Sunbirds’ by Mirandi Riwoe and ‘Storytellers’ by Leigh Sales. 🎧 Interviews with Sara, Mirandi and Leigh coming soon on @garretpodcast!
  • What a weekend. @cbrwritersfest was quite the experience - intimate yet expansive, profound yet funny. Thanks to @kmildenhall and @robbie_gc_arnott for letting me ask the random questions that occur to me.

I acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and work.

I respectfully recognise Elders past, present and future.

Sovereignty was never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
