It's great to see politicians acknowledging the genocide in Gaza and calling out Netanyahu, but, seriously, how late to the party can you be? The arrest warrant for Netanyahu was issued in November 2024! The ICC had enough evidence 18 months ago, and now pollies are speaking up?

Me: *sits down to write* "Okay, 500 words today and I'm back on track..." My brain: "That's what you think, buddy." Me: *writes fifteen-hundred-word outline for a new story* Also Me: "Come on, brain!" 🧠 To be fair to my brain, I like this new idea, but now really isn't the time! 🖤

Watching the soccer here in Australia, and the Bet365 ads are all over the coverage (unskippable ads) 🤢🤮. Nobody wants this. SBS, stop taking the dirty money from betting companies. Here are some stats (first image ironically taken from an SBS News article)... #FuckBet365.

Seeing stock image websites offering AI image generation memberships is just totally bananas to me. So, we can buy credits to buy images that cost you nothing to make, were stolen from creators (that's what AI image generation is), and then use those slop images under a limited license? WTF? NO.

Hey, everyone! It's my birthday today, and (I like to think I don't often ask) I'd love it if you bought, borrowed, talked about, reviewed, or photographed one of my books today. I've also dropped the price of WHILE I WAS GONE to $1.99 through June to celebrate 🎉👻 Thanks for all your support! 🖤

Sure, a bad project sucks, so do rejections (I hate that term), crappy reviews, and no one reading your work. But you know what sucks more? Giving up before you cracked that fucking awesome book you have in you. Turn the music up, scream, break something, then get back to work. You got this 🖤

Mental health thread incoming. I make no apologies for being honest here. We need to talk about mental health if we're going to help each other. Mental health is as important as our physical health. I hope this thread helps you feel seen and valued, because you are 🖤. So... 🧵1/?

One for the Aussies today... It's okay to feel a bit shit about the result in Farrer. Yes, Racist Granny and her far-right party of grifters won a seat. Yes, the press will say it's over for Australia: Farage in the UK, Trump in the US, Racist Granny, here... But that's not what's happening. 🧵1/5

Unless you turned up to the Met Gala in a sleeping bag, we have nothing to say to one another. Rich people: "Yay, the world's on fire, people can't afford to eat, let's have a big party to show off how rich we are." Met Gala ticket: $100,000 Cost to house a homeless person for a year: $20,000 🖤

A cryptid I never thought I would see: a real physical book with my words and my name in it 🥹 I know I've said it already, but I really want to thank everyone on here for their support and encouragement on my writing journey. It means so much to me 🖤🖤🖤
