I realised I have not been very social lately when I discovered that friends and acquaintances of mine have new partners and I didn't even know they had broken up with their old partners. I guess I have been spending too much time in the mountains writing stuff.

Oh well. I was a bit of a fan but now I have lost most of the respect I held for Nick Cave. The musician I once respected, who I considered myself a fan of, has collaborated with PETA. Before you attack me I support animal rights and I don't care if you are vegan but PETA are intensely problematic.

The worst thing about being a freelance author (for me) is that when you are overwhelmed, burned out and tired and can't do it anymore there is nobody to lean on. I wish, for example, I was a musician in a band because at least I could call a bandmate to help with my fucked head.

I have been a geek all my life. For most of my life I was too destitute to collect; I never had the money for the things I wanted when I was young so I didn't collect them. Now I am not rich as such but I have enough disposable money to collect things but now I don't want to clutter my house.

With the USA shitting its own pants to death there will be hardship throughout the world because of their economic power. The best solution is to support each other's economies, trade with other counties, stop buying US products. This is a post about #BoycottUSA

US hegemony is dying by the USA's own hand. It's a bit sad but the people get the government they deserve.

I left home at 3am AEST … it’s now 6:30pm AEST and I’m in Darwin airport boarding a flight to Kununurra in 15 minutes. I have been traveling for over 15 hours and it’s not over. All because I live for writing and want to talk about my books.

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

If I wrote a book on my creative process and how I write (and how I motivate myself to write despite being constantly anxious about my writing) would you read it?

I would love to have enough success to afford management because at this time I am struggling to keep my schedule organised already because that is not really in my skill set. Maybe that's a life goal, to work hard enough to earn enough to be able to afford a manager/assistant to sort my shit out.

Is there some scam out there involving @ko-fi.com and PayPal chargebacks? I am constantly getting small donations on my ko-fi account and many of them, too many to be a coincidence, are disputed by chargeback at the donor's bank. I can't work out why and what they are getting if it's a scam.

I don't understand the combination of "hating elitism" and "hating modern education" that occurs among some people particularly in the right wing. If you don't educate your kids you will create an elite your children will not be part of. I just want your kids to be effective citizens. 7/
