“One in five adults who die by suicide in this country are on the #JobSeeker payment, and 14% of people who die by suicide are on DSP. …To not increase payments accepts thousands of needless deaths. And we call that social murder.” @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/20/c...

Bail saves lives, but the Allan Government is introducing dangerous and discriminatory bail laws. We stand with VALS and 93 Aboriginal, human rights, community and legal organisations in calling on the Allan Government to instead implement #PoccumsLaw. www.vals.org.au/granting-bai...

🏳️‍⚧️ ANNOUNCING 🏳️‍⚧️

I have a solo exhibition on the books for late April so here’s a sneak peek into some of the brand new work I’m making for it. MORE DETAILS SOON. 👀👀👀👀

My February newsletter is out now! I have so many workshops coming up so please sign up and come hang out with me! 🫶 open.substack.com/pub/judykuo/...

Had the best time ever at Sticky Institute Festival of the Photocopier today! I always feel so at home in Melbourne’s zine community - full of queer and lefty and disabled and neurodivergent folk of all ages. Shoutout to all the volunteers and artists and community that make it what it is. 😘

The Allan Government is considering reviving dangerous and punitive bail laws, despite them leading to Veronica Nelson's death in custody. The Allan Government should make Victoria’s bail laws safer and fairer for everyone, not give into the Liberal Opposition's fearmongering.

✏️ I have two reflective drawing workshops coming up at Black Spark for the Year of the Snake. Come bring a friend and meet some new people while we chat about our intentions for the year ahead and draw some fun snakes! 🐍 Link to tix in my bio.

This Lunar New Year, donate your Red Pocket for Palestine. Let’s take the opportunity to share the prosperity with Gazans who continue to survive ongoing genocide and are beginning the difficult process of rebuilding. (1/3)

I’m planning on running some drawing workshops at Black Spark around the Year of the Snake, so if you’re keen to come along let me know so I can gauge interest! Here’s me with my latest print and a sneak peek of my studio space!

Oi you! 🫵 I’ve got a new Lunar New Year print for sale, and I will also be tabling at Festival of the Photocopier, and I also have a workshop with Darebin 4 Palestine coming up! Details in my first/latest monthly newsletter: open.substack.com/pub/judykuo/... 🤪

Surprise surprise, "debt" raising is up & robodebt recommendations are ignored. “Extracting billions from people in poverty is the policy outcome they wanted & they have been wildly successful, even though hundreds of thousands of these debts are not legitimate.” – @kristin8x.antipovertycentre.org

Year of the Wood Snake 🐍🪴 This year we liberate ourselves from our old skins and embody new ways of being ourselves and being in community. This year I want to see myself embracing the spirit of the Wood Snake, representing wisdom, groundedness, intuition, ruthlessness, and transformation.
