New year, new intro thread (2024) 💛 I’m a writer, performance maker, creative producer and community organiser. I make performances, installations, experiences, presentations, poetry, essays, digital exchanges and moments of connection. 1/? 🖊Insta: @lylyeeoftheriver

This is appalling behaviour on the part of the Arts Minister. Karen is a deeply reserving winner.

PS - I’m mostly over at the sky of blue these days and sharing micro poems there instead. Not visiting here so much anymore… Also still in the land of instant(photos) and sometimes the book of face. Dabbling with the wooly guy. As lylyeeoftheriver in most places. 😘

I was very brave today and submitted a query for Space Whale Songs to a dream agent. 🪐🐋🎶 Middle grade sci fi novel in verse and epistolary. Cosy, queer joy and lots of poems about snacks.

I co-wrote and recorded a song y’all With All Your Scars will be available on streaming platforms from 27th December and join us to celebrate live at the Wheatsheaf Hotel Friday 3rd Jan from 7.30pm.

We call old memory into the circle/ shaky voices brave/ we bump elbows and colour the day/ this many-way street an invitation to meet/ wherever you are/ whatever you need/ whoever you choose/ together we breathe// #tinytwitterpoem

Friends who are still on this website: I passed my PhD. One of the examiners said it was an "extraordinary body of work" and "of a shape and sensibility I have not encountered before". February graduation, here we come!

@MrPeterpunko @pharnzwurth No, the poll said no such thing. If you check, it simply asks "what age should there be LIMITS?" It says nothing about a total ban, nothing. And ⅔rds did *not* fully agree, it was a sliding scale. Read yourself before you fall for old tricks👉🏽 essentialreport.com.au/questions/supp…

‘Melissa Lucashenko’s novel Edenglassie wins $150,000 in book prizes in just 24 hours’. Just wow. What an achievement! ⁦@UQPbooks⁩ theguardian.com/books/2024/oct…

I see people saying “why should we give free lunches to schoolchildren?” and I think some folks truly have no idea what it’s like to grow up in poverty, never knowing where your next meal is coming from, forever being one paycheck away from eviction. Let me explain some things.

I received the examiners report for my Honours project today: "The creative artefact is of a high and publishable quality – I hope to see it in a bookshop one day soon!" 🥹 I'm so proud of this little project. 🪐🐋🎼
