Playing Nice Was Getting Me Nowhere A riotous collection of ethical fever dreams from an internationally recognised master of the short form, Alex Cothren’s Playing Nice Was Getting Me Nowhere is a book for anyone struggling…

"Creating characters that stay with you after reading a novel is no mean feat, but in as few as four pages? A craftsperson is at work". My old hang-out @readingsbooks.bsky.social with a warm review of Alex Cothren's debut! www.readings.com.au/product/9781...

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

Pretty jazzed to be on the shortlist for one of Oz's finest short story awards. Commiserations to any nearby bottles of wine on the day the winners are announced (which coincides with the end of my self-imposed month off the booze) 🍷

The findings are getting buried by coverage of the mushroom case, but the findings of the Kumanjayi Walker coronial inquest shouldn’t be ignored.

Haha you’ll get the itch again in about 2.3 years, I don’t make the rules

Very nice 🙂

Don’t mind me, just jotting down all the weird things you’re saying & doing to use later in a story with a character who embodies you & four other people I’ve met lately
