rebecca k reilly hour

has this year been particularly slow for nz novels? I can't really think of more than three that have come out and one forthcoming

I'm so out of the loop

I decided to catch up on the world of nz literature so I bought and read the book I thought was going to win the ockham and then, just now, found out it's not shortlisted

I was dehumanised by body part language at my eye health test

I’m using conservative, euphemistic language to describe reproductive health out of concern for immigrant women

oh my god am I not allowed to reply to your posts

I posted the video of the man being attacked by a hawk while Amelia's happy hardcore beats played on twitter because I don't think you're supposed to do jokes on here

I have a **** coming out in 202* but it’s not announced because one of the c**t***** has to be checked by my a****y’s r*ghts l**yer and they’re r*ally b*sy

it's actually a dream come true for me because on 2021 twitter I would get forty senior colonial friends replying to all my commentary saying look on the bright side and I understand you think this is a joke but you need to get serious about cybersecurity and not post your censored drivers license

there's no like . . . foreign guest judge for sportsperson of the year or the music awards or nzr of the year or whatever, is there

(whispering) mirry-armour pournecky

oh my god, a puppet that you tell people is a character from your book and watch them awkwardly say ah the ah the maahri one um moon was it

mirrored suit performance art piece where you ask people to take a good hard look at themselves

okay after further investigation my top nz literary concern is the number of people who never publish a second book

my biggest group of haters, other māori, are being outpaced by homophobic women who live in mumbai

I think a lot of people in this country are confusing authors and those monks that whip themselves

thinking about when someone told me about a residency where the accomodation was really bad and the board was really rude and pedantic and then said I should apply

it must be really easy to answer q&a questions if the way you feel about publishing a book is bashful yet hopeful, very grateful, humbly desperate, proud to have overcome 1-3 specific struggles, struck by one inciting inspirational moment and are solely motivated by the concept of representation

is it easier to get funding now that half the eligible people have moved away

okay I thought about it for an hour and the funniest explanation I can think of is I’m not cute enough

I wonder why I've never been asked to chair a panel or interview someone

and it's not good for your brain to think that you're a chosen one!! why are we always discovering new innovations in gatekeeping

I can't accept that there is no place in the society for people born before 2000 except as a vessel to birth future generations . . . every day there are 26 year olds saying that it's their time to be quiet and hand over to the new generation and they haven't even had a chance to do anything yet

aw the teen in idaho who uses my email address for his walmart receipts is home from college

I have 'educated myself' on what happened and 1. my apologies on behalf of what I think is one of the gayest iwi now we've made our own aesop 2. I think it was a huge mistake to tell the children it's their generation who will save all the rest of us write-offs

wait what did I miss, was my dad right when he said no queers in our whanau now my cousin’s son had stopped looking so poofy

we've done an assessment on you based on vibe and we can upgrade you to māori ally if you get some reo slogan earrings

one time someone I didn't know said 'people who grew up outside the culture' and pointed to me

once every two years or so you meet a writer who's a normal and popular person and it sucks
