I have started a newsletter, which is really more of a killjoy diary so that is the title of the first post. Hopefully, more to follow. Even shorter and snappier if I can manage it. It will remain free. open.substack.com/pub/feminist...

#ToitūTeTiriti 👋 OVERSEAS followers ➡️ Dec 29 ⬅️ "Māori invite allies around the world to write their intervention to the New Zealand Government, who have called for input on whether the bill should go ahead. There are no age or citizenship restrictions... anyone around the world can have their say."

Help us send 2,000 books to readers who are incarcerated this winter through our Books Not Bars program

"We wake in solidarity so that in the future we can wake in liberation." Beautiful short film on Blackfulla-Palestinian solidarity from the Institute for Collaborative Race Research. Take a minute to watch this and remember what we're rooting for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hFg...

Thinking about roots and broken things. Very slow. In mud. Returning quietly. #FreeWriting

'Let It Move You: a Care Package for Grieving Times' from Buddhist Peace Fellowship 💛 buddhist-peace-fellowship.teachable.com/p/let-it-mov...

Created a very quick starter pack since folks asked (it's very much draft and I will add more) and create one for Global South scholars. Enjoy! go.bsky.app/EMDjhiX

@saranahmed.bsky.social excited to see you here ❤️💛🧡💚🩷💙🤎🖤🩶

Good night everyone. A reminder for the late crowd that I am raising money to keep REBUILD going into 2025. If you are interested and can, please donate to this work: www.mightycause.com/story/Rebuil...

I'm seeing posts from vulnerable people who are scared. I really hope that folks take this into account & will step into their humanity & embrace sincerity over cynicism. We absolutely are going to need sincerity in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.

And on Sunday I'll be co-hosting the first in what I hope will become a series of regular queer grief events called Waterworks at Sexyland (3-5pm) with the wonderful Sanne Pols. www.instagram.com/p/DBbpFu0Ix-...

beautiful offering - a workshop with the wonderful antje and Aion from shyplay* this weekend at Veem in Amsterdam: veem.house/program/shyp...

I will be watching this today. whereolivetreesweep.com

Today is for mourning, and holding close those loved ones. Showing up for Indigenous resistance everywhere.

1 year (+ 76 years) of white supremacist settler-colonial genocide, land & resource theft, war crimes, indiscriminate killing with impunity, all in violation of international order, funded and armed by the West. A new world order is necessary. #FreePalestine

We are all living a farce of what a life should actually be. All of us, including the ones who have the most power to affect the social relations of what a life could be. They too are living the farce that violence and brutality is necessary and freeing.

Stay close to the ground, in intimate relation with gravity, listening alongside other planets. #FreeWriting

We are whole worlds here, pulling comforts around us like they could make day from night. #FreeWriting

Remember night time and ocean, that huge loss that needed losing. #FreeWriting

At a loss, and holding myself there. Building community. #FreeWriting

A terrorist attack occurred against Lebanon by those committing genocide against Palestine. Number of people killed is similar to that of Sept 11, for which the US bombed two countries. But ofc, the West isn’t calling this terrorism or calling out the terrorists. No end to the depravity or hypocrisy

The goal of our Pod Greenhouses is to support individuals to build their pods and build capacity for transformative justice and collective care. Please note: Pod Greenhouses are not trainings. Participants will be working together for the bulk of the time. www.soiltjp.org/upcoming-eve...

How we swell and cough and shout and harm and break. And we want to heal. #FreeWriting

Trust. Build trust. Every day a tiny piece. #FreeWriting

Vibrating with resonance, joy, & relief hearing Linda Thai speak in the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford yesterday. She spoke with full true heart directly to the violent coloniality of the site, shook up ghosts, and SANG. If you do not know her work, I highly highly recommend it. www.linda-thai.com

hey, hey: hello. It's okay. You are building a liveable life, one where all your beautiful queerness is welcome. #FreeWriting

Rewrite, sew, thread. It's all already here. #FreeWriting

I love the spaces between you. The wide gaps where you fell down and read the planets. Take these fallen ones with you today. #FreeWriting

How does the feeling of change sit with your bones this morning? The special gift that runs through everything. #FreeWriting

"The system isn’t broken, it was built this way." Survivors and family members of those who died in the Grenfell Tower fire say they didn’t need to wait seven years for an inquiry report that only told them what they already knew ⤵️

Ah friend, your queer elders are here and their saplings made lush ground of all your years. #FreeWriting

greedy for the undercurrent #FreeWriting

Choose this day with all its awful and kind impossibilities. #FreeWriting

🍉NEED HELP🍉 We're a group of volunteers making a documentary on the various ways the game industry is enabling the genocide of Palestinians. We need animators who can donate their time by making a short 5sec animation in the next month. Please DM or Discord me @pyrofoux Sharing is super helpful🙏🏽💖

Your teachers are everywhere. Your teachers are everywhere. Remember that. #freewriting

tentatively going to try out sharing daily #freewriting on here again - in case anyone needs that strange hit of poetry and vulnerability from my early morning words to myself! maybe a welcome counter to the loud, the certain, and the bold.

Today's the day. Gonna try being on here again in a more active way. Somehow daunting so I'll begin by sharing something sweet, which is a second series of the Dreamy podcast. Tiny stories from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander storytellers, perfect for bedtime... www.commonground.org.au/dreamy
