I updated my Books I’ve Read page this week and was shocked to realise I didn’t read anything to completion in July, and baaarrreeelllyy read anything in August/September as well. Oy. I mean, I know I’m in recovery mode and my brain cells have been struggling, and focusing on something for longer than a chapter […]

This week’s Inklet is one I wrote for a course a couple of years ago, based on an article I read about the decline of the insect population. I’d been expecting to write in response to one of the other articles we’d been given, but as I sat down to write, the insect population one

Ever since I was a kid, Saturday has been rest day. In primary school (Years Kindy to 6), this was sometimes a bummer: there were a whole range of secular activities our family didn’t engage in on a Saturday, so it felt sometimes like we were missing out on bonding with our friends. High school
Stumbled across this partial repost in my ‘maybe turn into a poem’ folder last week and it was… timely. I’m so keen, champing at the bit even, to start looking ahead, looking outward, reaching for this new future I have before me, and it’s so very hard to be patient, to walk slowly, sustainably, to

It’s a reposty kind of week because Time is a Thing which is apparently Limited (and I am not okay with this). Content warning: Robin Williams’ suicide; the Ferguson riots; animal captivity; the Stolen Generation; school-based trauma. Yep, it’s a light one. (I’ll Never Have Big Enough Arms To Hold) These Disparate Things Robin Williams

Behold, the 15th has come around again somehow and there is yet another new Inklet in the world! It’s not one of mine, though, it’s Reincarnation by Liana Brooks, a deceptively cute story about what would happen if reincarnation were a) non-optional and also b) retroactive. Oh, and by the way, c) you kind of
It’s too hard to coordinate getting photos into the post this week – covid fatigue, burnout fatigue, parenting fatigue, emotional fatigue – it’s been a rough two weeks. So instead, you get a poem that I wrote last week, which I am definitely counting as ‘making something’. <3 On Healing: A Letter To Myself With
