I found a poem that wrote for the Red Room Poetry Poem Forest project 2022 published on their website ☺️ redroompoetry.org/student-poems/… It's always lovely to see something you worked on outside of a notebook 👌

This morning we protested outside the IRC to demand #MoreThanThanks before the Dominic Perrottet attempts to legislate an awful deal for DOE staff for the next few years. It was a great showing for a 7:30am start and it gave staff time to get back to class before it started.

Staff at Fairvale High School are in solidarity when they demand #MoreThanThanks from the Dominic Perrottet Liberal government. We've had enough of being exhausted. We demand a more competitive salary and time to do our job properly. Teachers Federation

The very funny and inspiring Jenna Owen sharing her story of being a "young activist" at a NSW public school, and the educational journey that led her to where she is today Teachers Federation

Today a number of our stage 3 students became published authors after participating in the WestWords Writer in Residence program. We were all very excited to see the finished product at today’s book launch.

For the majority of the 20th century the USA was proud of fighting off the red terror. In the 21st century, they were trying to celebrate a 'red wave'. I feel like the red wave poses a greater threat to democracy than the terror...

2023 is going to be a hell of a year: 1. New career path 2. Continued focus on writing & submitting more stories for comp/publishing 3. A blossoming relationship 4. Improved fitness 5. Improved diet 2022 derailed itself in November but the bad passes and new possibilities open.

How is everyone going with the NYC Midnight short story challenge? Today is the day I start drafting but I'm still struggling with my idea 😅

I've submitted my round 1 story for the NYC Midnight short story competition. After thinking I'd sit this one out, I pulled something together in the dying hours. How did everyone else go? @Capitan_Typo ?

I've started watching Dune and all I can think is how can the horrid drone of the bagpipes survive another 800 years? Well, I guess it's a dystopian text...

The Frida Kahlo exhibition at the cutaway for Sydney Festival was so colourful! A highlight was letting out your inner artist and having it projected on the wall. What did you think of the exhibition? #FridaKahlo #sydneyfestival #sydney #art
