OK I want to be a fat bitch in a Peter Paul Rubens painting. Snowy chest, wrinkled knees, soft pink flesh. My hair golden wreaths either side of my flushed cheeks. My belly glows like I swallowed the sun whole. I look fragile and floaty like a vase you really wanna smash.  I want my flesh rolls suspended like reams of satin, adorned by my red parted lips and my other, more delicate features. . .you can fill them in. I want to live in a boudoir painting, always reclining, always naked. Always warm, always safe. Always looking out the […]

The biggest difference between Australian Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people is their relation to capital. The land, the spirit and the economy were, and are, one entity for Aboriginal people. She is called Mother Earth.

Run around inside this televised hamster wheel for a season, trying to get people to care about arms sales to Saudi Arabia or whatever while a panel of celebrities judges your social media engagement and probably […]

I was not looking to fall in love. But I must have. Towards the end of 2018 I signed up for a generic certificate in animal studies. I did not know where it led, only that I wanted to be led. That summer I arranged my practical placement at a public reserve. I started working there as a volunteer before classes began. The park has a captive population of native animals for its education and conservation programs. There are walk-through aviaries and enclosed paddocks, as well as facilities for threatened species. It used to have a spotted-tail quoll, a scrappy little […]
