Went to a lot of book launches in 2023. Highlight was when I was having a little sit in the corner and a bloke asked if I was a creative type. "No," I said. "I'm just pregnant and needed to sit down." He replied, "Being pregnant is creating something." So true sir.

the crowd inside the building, chanting over a talk by the VC, is so huge that some of us are outside. At the start of the strike the sentiment is clear- more permanent jobs! #UnimelbStrikes

Bloke in front of me just stopped mid-run and cracked out his vape. We all contain multitudes.

Blind Spot is out today 🧡 I've worked on this novel for a long time and it doesn't quite feel real that it's now out there for you to buy (if you like! preferably from a local bookshop!) If you do read, I hope you enjoy it. Thanks to the whole team at @text_publishing

Have a look at what the our team has been reading recently: stories of Country, queerness, grief, coming of age, and speculative fiction. Head to our website to read how much we enjoyed We Come With This Place, Blind Spot, Watch Over Me and The Dispossessed.

Once in a mindfulness zoom someone shared a quote in the chat from a "doctor" but the doctor was Meredith Grey

Blind Spot will be out in July! Moody cover (with sick font) by the phenomenal Imogen Stubbs. I feel like I've been working on this novel since I was a teenager myself. Which isn't true, but only by a few years.

If I'd known this MRI involved getting fully barred out on xannies then gulping down an entire ginger slushie I'd have signed up sooner. Happy to go back in the tube anytime 11/10

There's no polite way to ask your colleagues what they reckon their teenage kids are getting fucked up on these days. Saying "it's for my novel" somehow makes it worse?
