I'm teaching an intimate, online creative writing class through Varuna from 22 July. It's all about writing with humour and heart, the two great threads of life. It's not about being a comedian but having a zest for the incongruous. Apps close tomorrow! www.varuna.com.au/for-writers/...

No Kings, except for this one - King of the bins, screeching out at his subjects, opening his massive birdy bowels over all his lands.

One for your calendars: two shining stars of the OZ literary firmament are sharing the stage! Namely Angela O'Keeffe is interviewing @eleytherius.bsky.social regarding her (stunning!) new novel at Kinokuniya on July 17 events.humanitix.com/an-evening-w...

Sweet bluesky. Coming into blossom on this election night. Realtime, old twitter-feel rant and roar and right up-to-datedness.

It’s so important to not let yourself become bitter or disheartened or cynical. To not let the news of the world break your spirit. Because I’m already doing that. It’s my thing. Find your own, stop copying me.

So great to see @eleytherius.bsky.social’s #TheRevisionists as one of the key titles from OZ for this week’s #LBF25 www.booksandpublishing.com.au/articles/202...

which crazy cat came up with the ESR? oh yeah, how about how fast your blood falls means how sick you are? like a party trick for illness

reading the news each morning with an 'is it cake?' vibe. Is it stupidity, or is it rank cruelty? Neither tastes any good, though.

Seems a tad unusual to be displayed on the counter of the little old lady volly lolly shop, but who am I to judge?

This all *she gestures around* seems like a very bad vaudeville. I don’t recall buying tickets for this.

DEI is not about choosing someone who is worse at a job but from a minority, it's about ensuring people who are equally good or better qualified aren't overlooked because they're from a minority.

There is always art. There is always love. *chants to self while hiding phone under a pillow*

Syringes in the stairwell, police lining the corridors, resolutions becoming undone in the waiting room; it must be New Year’s Day in the emergency department.

sorry about that, i asked it to make sense of my life choices

Doing some research today and discovered the heart of a grasshopper is a tube as thick as a strand of spaghetti and my day is infinitely better

If you work in a hospital outside the metro centres … this is the conference for you to learn some sick skills cos: critical illness doesn’t respect geography @thesgem.bsky.social @eleytherius.bsky.social @first10em.bsky.social

The super gorgeous Rochelle launching the Perth phase of her book Double Happiness. She is authentic, courageous and that little bit sassy. Thank you @thebooksdesk.bsky.social for the introduction of the thoroughbred in your stable.

I've always had a lot of time for Julian Barnes: even more so reading his manifesto for Barnes's Benign Republic... (from his 'Changing My Mind', due next year from Notting Hill Editions)

Having an absolute follow-fest here. Hammering the follow button with abandon in the glorious knowledge this is not the malodorous sinkhole the other site has become. #WhatFun

I scramble over to Blue Sky and immediately do a self-promotion post. Michelle! This is NOT TWITTER!

Deal news! It's a great thrill over here @shawliterary.bsky.social to announce that the extraordinary "The Revisionists", the third, completely unputdownable novel by @eleytherius.bsky.social, has been acquired by Fourth Estate/Harper Collins Australia! www.booksandpublishing.com.au/articles/202...

@drdayasharma.bsky.social Thank you, my good man, for the push. Now. How does one go about finding one's posse over here??

@eleytherius.bsky.social on her amazing recent trip to - of all places after the events of recent days! - Dagestan. All in the cause of research for her new novel (that I have the strong feeling is going to be utterly phenomenal...) www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

is this like twitter? tell me this is like twitter. Somebody take pity on a terminally confused social-media chump.
