Picked up a copy yesterday – fab! Love his chuckling throughout. Great bringing Kael into the mix. And then flipping the page to see a song title as the title of the next article!

Imagine you were about to appear at a writers' festival to talk about your first book... then the whole thing fell apart. I wanted to find debut authors who almost talked at Adelaide Writers' Week. These are 21 folks I've identified so far but *please* let me know who I've missed or mixed up.

It's a good moment to become more familiar with Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, the author whose cancellation led to Adelaide Writers' Week imploding. This interview from December feels even more urgent given the events of the past week.

Just barrelled through the last few pages of @antonhur.com’s Toward Eternity. The archive as bulwark, the notebook as dna, poetry as life-force. Sorry I missed him on a panel in Adelaide last year!
Book cover: Toward Eternity, a novel, Anton Hur. Book text: […] weight of that difference, really? Those who have no shame have no honor. Whether a life ends happily or sadly, what does it matter but the weight of the emotions one felt, the weight of the clarity of all the meaningful moments one possessed while living on this Earth, whether they have been good or bad? Is it not the weight, in the end, that really makes us human after all?

I wonder if going back to sleep for that final stretch brings more vivid dreams as a reward for not lying awake and doomscrolling (written as i doomscroll after waking from that final stretch)

Just when oppressive tech seems more and more the norm, along comes this interview with Signal’s Meredith Whittaker. Touches on issues I’ve been mulling like IA, CrowdStrike & Gaza. Great photos by a fav editorial photographer Dina Litovsky. And Whittaker’s originally a rhetoric and English major!

The 420B riser/pivot point goes up to about 2m i think, and you’d be able to tilt the boom up higher than that. The 420B is a relatively portable boom kit so there would be ones that go higher. Depending on the luma’s keystoning correction, you’d have to allow for enough area directly underneath.

There are horizontal stands like this Alzo that mount onto tripods www.alzodigital.com/products/hor... Some tripods like Manfrotto 055 have horizontal column options. For higher mounting the Manfrotto 420B boom stand might be good (will need adapter to mount into tripod socket)
