Statement from Amy Remeikis withdrawing from Adelaide Writers’ Festival
I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.
“But it’s also that this land, this beautiful Aboriginal land, was not made to hold such grief. It can, and it does, but it shouldn’t have this burden thrust upon itself.”
@jordanas.bsky.social on the logic of violence that permeates Australia.
A message from Jonathan Dunk and Evelyn Araluen.
Kids, the arts are in trouble. Censorship, interference, austerity, hyper-surveillance, ministerial oversight and the fetish of social cohesion are now standard fare across the industry.
In the wake of our fallen comrades over at Meanjin, Overland’s work becomes more vital with every passing year as the Australian publishing sector continues to flounder in the face of cynicism, bureaucracy and profit incentives that hollow out our cultural institutions and undermine the integrity of our voices and testimonies.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks
i keep bursting into tears
kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.
This is a beautiful tribute.
fair bit going on over there. anyway how are you guys
people got really angry at me on twitter for saying that i hate Temu. what a wonderful world

we were robbed overnight they took our keys wallets and stole our car. scaled the fence/roof and in through the back door. let the cats out but they’re fine thank fuck. this is truly maybe my worst nightmare and everything else aside has undone years of therapy. happy sunday
