A tiny posy of October garden flowers in a cobalt blue Victorian ink bottle. There are small spots of dopamine-inducing floral colour out there if you search for it...🌿

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾

Thrilled to be included in the 2026 Brushstrokes Poetry Anthology this November. I've also been longlisted for the Ros Spencer Poetry Prize. If you're in Perth, why not pop along to the Perth Poetry Festival? My poem will be read at the awards ceremony by a fellow poetess 💚 #poetry #writing

As I reflect on my writing & directing career so far, it occurs to me that I have been helped by so many people who will never receive credit for the role they played in my ability to make art, no matter how long they let me sleep on their couch. So I just want to say, thank you, Sal Saperstein.

I wish Google maps had useful information, like "where is my nearest wild lavender bush?" for when I need to dry some cuttings to make tea. 🌿🪻

"So many of my ancestors boarded ships with nothing but a small suitcase and found passage to a new life. Maybe this will be the cracking open of some new experience... A shift from survival to intentional living. It might even bring new joy..." 1/2 #writing #scriptsky #filmsky #prose

- The Spring Collection II -

Photograph of what must be two cherry blossoms growing from a tree's strand. In the background are more blurry blossoms, and some bigger branches of the tree.

Photograph of one little white blossoming flower on a small branch.

Vertical capture of a pink blossom in bloom, taken against the light. Sadly I can't figure out this flower's name.

Purple / magenta toned photograph if two little blossoming flowers, at the top of a small branch. The background is blurry, and the flowers stick out.

I bought an apron to keep the flour from my dress when I am baking. It came with a little mouse - a friend in my front pocket. #tanka #tankathursday #poem #writing #market #prompt

My new apron is cream-colored, with colorful embroidered flowers. It came with a little mouse made of felt. She is wearing a pink dress. It may be the prettiest thing in my kitchen.

Photograph of two crows flying through the matte grey sky. In the bottom of the photo is the silhouette of a bare tree with more crows sitting in it, and from the left side is another tree looming into the photo.

It waits in shadow And here it comes rolling in A thunderous cloud Over a turbulent sea Surrender to its wildness #vss365 #grief #poetry #tanka #writing

In a painting by Lovetta Reyes Cairo, a woman stands facing a wild sea. She is dressed in mourning black and holding a young child.

Geek stuff at the offices of Lucas and Coppola. A couple of weeks ago, I met the man who made the Millenium Falcon, and a bunch of other Star Wars model makers. A truly lost art ❤️ #sanfrancisco #filmsky #scriptsky

Tonight I saw Nosferatu (1922) on 35mm, with live organist, in the beautiful California Theatre in San Jose. Been over 20 years since I saw this film and this was a brilliant way to revisit it. 🦇 #scriptsky #filmsky

Happy Paddy's Day 💚 Today I found the grave of my (3x) great uncle in San Francisco - originally a Belfast boy. Ceol, craic, agus sláinte, a chairde. 🍀 #paddysday #ancestry

My face through a neon shamrock. You're welcome.

The grave of my ancestor, William Dowds, 1889 - 1956. He came to San Francisco in 1910.
