Abair co-labhairt! What a conference! Discussions on AI use in an age where it's an inbuilt feature of most software, and on cultural appropriation and community consultation. And opportunities to meet new people and build our own writerly connections.

I was so grateful to get the chance to participate in the CYA Success Panel.

Thank you CYA for the past 21 years you've given the Brisbane Meanjin community.

Recently read a lovely children’s book, Cooee Mittigar: A Story on Darug Songlines, by Jasmine Seymour & Leanne Mulgo Watson. A journey through the seasons on Darug Country, accompanied by sweet, stylised illustrations. A warm, welcoming book about culture, Country & the natural world. The wombats & black cockatoos are particularly adorable.

If you're a self-employed artist who works with children in Ireland, you've probably had to go through Garda vetting at some point. In fact, it's likely that you're having to go through it over and over again, and you're wondering why.

I've written a blog that tries to explain how it all works.
