A quick update re: my Patreon –
I’ve decided to go on hiatus from Patreon for a bit. The last couple of years have been tiring, and I want to take some time to navigate how Patreon can work for me and for my Patrons.
I’ll still be creating and writing, if you want to give me a follow on:
Etsy | Itch.io | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram
Thank you to all my Patrons for your incredible support over the years. It’s meant so much to me and to #EnbyLife Journal.
This Thursday 22 December, I’ll be heading to Avid Reader Bookshop for their 36 Hours Straight – All Night Shopping Extravaganza!

So incredibly happy to announce ‘stand up’ has been awarded the Woollahra Digital Literary Award for Digital Innovation!
You can explore ‘stand up’ on the Backslash Lit website.
A huge thank you to judge Brett Osmond for choosing ‘stand up’ as the winner. I’m honestly so blown away and delighted and grateful!
Thank you also to Woollahra Libraries, publisher Backslash Lit, and of course to Tegan Webb who helped me draft and redraft ‘stand up’ in Bitsy.
The trans experience is one that’s so often defined in media, by governments, as one simple / single / matter-of-fact / impersonal Medical Procedure.
‘stand up’ is an interactive poem which explores this idea, and the notion of what it really means to be trans. Because being trans isn’t just about one single thing.
Being trans is about breathing, loving and being; and, in ‘stand up’, it’s about finding small joys and knowing you are loved.
My Bitsy poem ‘stand up’ (published at Backslash Lit) has been shortlisted in the Woollahra Digital Literary Awards in the Digital Innovation category!!! 
Reader’s Choice voting closes Fri 18 Nov, if you want to send a vote my way 
Huge congrats to my fellow Digital Innovation shortlistees: Jenny Hedley, Dan Hogan and Anna Jacobson!

‘Oh okay,’ I say, annoyed at the time I’ve just spent sewing two new masks for us. ‘But it’s not gone away, right?’
‘True, it’s not,’ she says, pulling my hand in the direction of home. ‘Not gone, just different.’
