Marius Grose's new poem 'The Oasis at 3am' in Authora Australis Issue 9 'Cracks'
'they suckled and took, what you would give them
brothers with wounds they covered with leather
wounded brother in leather on the dance floor
a catch in the throat your lullaby'

The typhoon here in Hong Kong is slowly stripping the nylon mesh off the buildings under repair. Just hope the scaffolding doesn’t go next! Lots of debris flying through the air - leaves, paper, mesh strips - but so far no loose pipes of bamboo!

Calling all Inner West Sydney pub folk - if you're a fan of the Henson Hotel being pokie free, turn up to the Henson tomorrow and protest their sneaky decision to bring back poker machines - seriously guys? Albo's favourite local pub advertised as 'proudly pokie free' for how many years now??

Worse places to be than Lamma Island 😊

Social Ties More Effective Than Shared Politics in Garnering Engagement With Online Corrections www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/... @cameronmartel.bsky.social
From study: "...users who post false news more likely to engage with corrections they receive, particularly from co-partisans."
How are you James?
