Creative Australia ditching Khaled Sabsabi as our representative at the Venice Biennale is an extraordinary denial of artistic freedom by our supposedly leading & independent arts advocate. A week ago Sabsabi said he thought the honour "wouldn’t happen because of who I am.” Turns out he was right.

Struggling with the concept of ‘not guilty’

One for #Australia - TransAU was already running a campaign to reinstate the funding of the Queensland Children's Gender Service, which is now pivoting to protest the removal of healthcare for trans youth in QLD. Sign the petition here, and if you're in QLD, email the health minister.

The original notebook in which Ursula wrote the first draft of A Wizard of Earthsea, seen on display at the Bowers Museum. Sadly, the exhibit it was part of—Fantasy: Realms of Imagination—closed ahead of schedule earlier this week.

Nope. Not a date to celebrate.
