I know when the world’s in absolute chaotic turmoil, things like the Oscars can seem silly and frivolous (even as art keeps us from despair) but when people like the makers of No Other Land get to say brave things in front of THAT audience they are really fucking important

I take my cues about how to feel/engage with Emilia Perez from the trans community so won’t be commenting on the film BUT Zoe Saldana’s speech did make me cry and the representation for HER community is amazing and we can hold space for both

If you need me, I’ll be busy crying happy tears over Marissa Bode on the Oscars red carpet ❤️ Someone who looks like me on Hollywood’s biggest night looking absolutely glorious in high fashion is something I wish I could show my younger self. Can’t wait till it’s my turn 😉

Audrey. Streaming on Netflix around the country RIGHT NOW 🤯 I hope you enjoy watching 💛 Please let us know what you think! Tell your friends - I had a dream last night we got to #1 in the country x

Marty Sheargold losing his job at Triple M (largely in part to public pressure) = tiny sign that public attitudes towards degrading women are changing. It's a welcome & long overdue shift. Now if only we could channel those same consequences towards male athletes who abuse women?

So I’m thinking we coordinate a deluge of female athletes dropping off hammers and nails at Triple M’s reception as deliveries for Marty Sheargold. I mean, the least we can do is give the guy a hand 😘

Wrote a piece about creativity, rejection, representation & the utter exquisite madness of a life in the arts 🎭 It’s brutal out here and we’re doing the thing. Even the titans and greats were us once. Keep making art and showing up ❤️‍🔥 It matters x hannahdiviney.substack.com/p/an-actors-...

Sign this if you can!!! Takes 30 seconds and will help restore the dignity of financial independence to so many disabled people. Having to choose between financial independence and a relationship is messed up!!!

MY FACE IS ON NETFLIX HOLY MOLY 🥹 Audrey. March 1st. Netflix Australia & New Zealand *cries*

The cup of ambition overflows 🔥 Worth a shot. If email doesn’t suit, DM me x

this is a very niche post but I'm sitting here writing and one of my characters just revealed something very sad about their story and now I'm just staring into space like 'wow I did not see that coming, thanks for sharing, Alice' as though it's not MY OWN BRAIN that got us here...

If a friend tells you plans need to change, do you force them to honour the original date? Of course not. Any First Nations people reading this, please know you are loved + respected. And I’d much rather honour you than pale stale men who weaponised smallpox ❤️💛🖤

What’s all this then? Oh you know, just my first piece of writing over on Substack for 2025 which happens to be a sneaky lil’ experiment/extract from what I hope will eventually become my 2nd book - my first novel! Let me know what you think x open.substack.com/pub/hannahdi...

happening in LA is devastating + terrifying. I’ve been doomscrolling for days. I don’t know what the answer is/if there’s anything I can do. The best way to find out = ask. So LA, what do you need? What does the world need to make sure this doesn’t keep happening? What can we all practically do?

Manifesting 🔮✨❤️‍🔥

Sorry, I’m still thinking about “you know how easy it is to bury a woman” and all the women this has happened to all over the world, famous or not. We will dig you out. You will rise again. And the power will shift because we won’t let them get away with it.

SO EXCITED to give my Aussie and Kiwi pals the Christmas present that is Audrey FINALLY being available to rent/buy 😆 You can find us over on Apple TV Google Play, YouTube, Foxtel, Amazon Prime , Fetch, Microsoft or Sky NZ🍋 Please support us if you can 🥰 Happy watching!

2024 has been a heck of a year in all the ways so as we near the end of it Bluesky, I have to ask; what’s been the best thing that happened to you/you did this year? Mine is realising I could walk away from something that wasn’t working and things would be OK/people would still value my voice 🥰

Had some big feelings about the end of The Eras Tour so I wrote a love letter for Taylor, her team, myself and all the incredible humans out there who have needed this as much as I did x

how am I doing? oh fine, I'm just not ready for the celebration of womanhood that is the eras tour to end and for women and girls around the world to lose their emotional support therapy session group hug with taylor swift every night.

It's been a wild couple of days. Thanks for all the love ❤️ Just wanted to share the full video ICYMI/for any keen international pals. New challenge... let's go global?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nARt...

Thank you to Missing Perspectives for publishing this article on the formidable @hannahdiviney.bsky.social National Press Club address! Soon to be available on my business page #NPC #disability #IDPwD missingperspectives.com/posts/hannah...

Well, that just happened 🥹 Thank you to the National Press Club, Women In Media Australia and Emma MacDonald for having me. I’ll never forget it ❤️. You can watch it now on ABC IView

TODAY I ADDRESS THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB HOLY MOLY 😳 Speaking truth to power. Getting real and personal about disability. Raw and vulnerable. Tune in from 12:30 AEDT on the ABC/Sky News! See you there ☺️

You don’t know this about me yet BUT I have a Substack where I write all sorts of unhinged stuff about me/pop culture/the world. Blowing the cobwebs off after far too long to tell you where I’ve been, the plans for 2025 and just getting back in the groove! open.substack.com/pub/hannahdi...

Somehow we are 9 DAYS?! away from me addressing the National Press Club oh my lord 😳 I really hope politicians are brave enough to come… get tickets here: npc.org.au/speaker/2024/1…

you guys I think maybe we just saw taylor swift transition to new heights of powerful cathartic clarity at the eras tour piano tonight like oh my god get out of her way she is coming (and on the 4th anniversary of the rerecording announcement too)

Happy “we finally have disabled representation in a big budget Hollywood movie” day to all who celebrate 💚🩷💚🩷 We’re not going back. What’s been labelled too hard before is done now. The gauntlet has been thrown so more will be needed from here on out, OK? Got it? Good.

With less than 24hrs to go before submissions close for fighting back on the social media ban, feels like a good time to say: without the fandom + communities I found online as a teenager who offered me a roadmap/reprive from my self loathing as a disabled teen, I wouldn’t have made it to adulthood

disabled people will die if Dr Oz is in charge of Medicaid and Medicare. There is no hyperbole, no joke, these are just the terrifyingly real facts. Just further proof that Trump doesn't care about disabled people.

Thinking of survivors today, and all those who tried to come forward and weren't heard, or were deliberately silenced.♥️

If you’re under 40 and can see this, can you like it please? Very curious about Bluesky demographics and who this platform is attracting/built to service…

Find it really interesting that @6newsau.bsky.social is the only ‘social first’ outlet for young people in Australia that exists here so far. Curious about whether the others (TDA/Cheek/Missing Perspectives/Zee Feed etc) will appear and if not, does that mean young people aren’t using Bluesky?

Have a hunch that Taylor Swift's 12th studio album = her most locked in yet. She's vocally fit, healthy, happy, creatively motivated (see surprise songs on the Eras stage every night), owns the majority of her art & knows her career can exist beyond 30. Two decades in and she's just getting started

Saw a post on this earlier and just wanted to say; in the mass exodus from Twitter to BlueSky, DO NOT look away from Palestine. So many courageous Palestinians were/are using Twitter to tell the truth of genocide. Their stories still matter here. Their voices still matter here.

Had a bloody good yap for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age if you’re looking for something to keep you company this morning ☺️ open.spotify.com/episode/63uY...

Still thinking about how kind it was of Cynthia Erivo when we ran into each other waiting for the lift at the Wicked press junket (and she was rushed away) to hear me compliment her performance, come back, say thank you & introduce herself. Small moments matter.

There’s a movie at (Australian) cinemas with ME 🤯 in it. Pitch-black comedy Audrey is out now. Strap yourselves in, she’s a wild ride 🍋 m.youtube.com/watch?v=pgMN...
