Imagine considering Howarth or Sukkar "talent".

One of my favourite bands. Saw them live in the 90s and it was so good!

Colour me shocked. There is a reason that man left QPS two weeks before his pension kicked in and I don't think it was because he thinks he didn't deserve one.

That's on my TBR shelf. I really wish AP was either more prlific or I had crappier taste and read someone who pushes books out like candy from a machine!!!

Well you'll have to expand your horizons!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 12/04/2025

I am doing exactly the same. I do the same with Ann Patchett. I'm unable to cope with the idea of having to wait for the next book - I'd rather just pace myself and enjoy life!!

Robbie Arnott's writing absolutely penetrates my soul.

I'm 47 years young and I still call it that.

I'm from Melbourne and of course we know about the early mark. Whoever you spoke to need to get out more!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

They told Queenslanders they'd do this and somehow many want it. Seeing this lot destroy years of good work is ripping me apart. I hate that people voted for this lot.

Given he doesn't live in his electorate, why would this be a surprise?

Plibersek has been destroyed by Albanese. I don't know what happened between them but he is ending any meaningful political career for her.

It's a specific course. Still not sure - don't want to go back to uni unless it's free and involves reading good books :)

kasshall.substack.com I made my newsletter completely free. I don't need the pressure of asking people to pay for my work - I like it being open and accessible. Of course, if people like it and want to subscribe, they can (with my gratitude). But for now, it's all free and I'd love you to sign up.

I'm a space dreamer so it captured my imagination. I thought it was wonderful but I imagine it's not for everyone - but what is? Would love to hear what you think!

Have any of you creative types ever done B-school? I’m interested in advice. Is it good? Worth the cost?

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

The more they pile on the more I like her. It takes guts to stand up to the ingrained racism and sexism of society as well as a dysfunctional yet very powerful family. And she just keeps on being her. Good luck to her I say!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I’ve got all of my content on there, as well as my normal website. Eventually I’ll choose between which one resonates more.

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I’ve started a Substack because it seems like people are narrowly focused on it as a medium. I’m not one bit comfortable about the people behind Substack and those they make profits from. But I need to find my audience… kasshall.substack.com

Poking Around - 20 February 2025

Welcome to a new week of Poking Around - I hope you enjoy the fun finds I have read/observed this week while poking around the place. What I've been reading My review of Australian Gospel by Lech ...

That's how I feel about going to space. Please let me look back at the earth and see the moon up close. Then if things have to blow up, I've seen the one thing that would be more incredible than any other. I could die satisfied.

The LNP in QLD have pledged to move back to non-preferential voting in 2028. It's insane.

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

I was about to ask which day this was not a suitable choice?! 🤣

Booked myself to see Cmdr Chris Hadfield in Sydney in June. I’ve seen him before and I am quite a fan so I’m excited!

Is the issue that the current AGD wont provide it or that the former AGD destroyed it so it cannot be accessed under FOI?

AND the rest of the world likes Canada a whole lot more than America.

Same!! But the wait is often so excrutiating!!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I’ll be brave and say banning all gambling advertising and sports betting advertising, including in show, would have greater impact on society than banning kids from social media.

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 16/02/2025

I am somewhat obsessed by the idea of being in space and looking back at the earth, so this is, thus far, rather appealing!

Review: AUSTRALIAN GOSPEL by Lech Blaine

An outstanding memoir from Queensland writer Lech Blaine.

Started reading Australian Gospel by Lech Blaine last night and I have already uttered “oh my god” numerous times. Also Blaine is one of the best writers of his generation.

I get there are benefits to that platform for you but there ARE other choices!! Buttondown, Ghost and others.... please, more than ever the good people of the world - the artists - must stand firm on this!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 13/02/2025

Dear Authors I love and want to support: Please do not use Substack. That platform continues to permit and make money from neo-n*zi organisations and I don't want ANY of my money going into their coffers - not even a tiny percentage of what I DO want to pay you for content.

I love this! We are moving this year into a house and one of the most exciting parts for me is building a little street library. I cannot wait!

Kass Hall @kasshall.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

Finalised the move to @ghost.org today from Squarespace after 15 years. Website is live (link in bio) with mostly book reviews but I will be starting a blog about the world more at large (and closer to the heart, too). Still working my way around Ghost but I generally like it and it’s not Substack!
