Amazing class today on @tomdoig.bsky.social pieces on the Hazelwood coal mine disaster and 'Preppers & the End of Everything'. Can't think of anyone who writes better about this stuff. 'Outside, life went on, until it didn’t.' meanjin.com.au/essays/ten-y...

I just signed contracts for my first book of fiction! This has been a VERY long time coming. ALL HER LIVES: Nine Stories, out with @thwupbooks in NZ in 2025, and UQP in Oz in 2026. Huge thanks for all the support and to @modernletters CNZ & Michael King Writers Centre for backing me & this book.

Since bluesky has been so helpful, here's another one: I've got a character heading from Masterton to Wellington just after the Remutaka tunnel opened in 1955. Is it realistic for her to get there for a day of shopping? @southernrata.bsky.social @drdrehistorian.bsky.social

I'm aware there are more vital things happening in the world, but today I am trying to work out how long it would take someone to travel by train from Wellington to Opaki station north of Masterton in 1919. Long shot: but any train enthusiasts that might be able to point me in the right direction?
