PSA: my sister finally watched Heated Rivalry. She was messaging me about it this morning. She is team Kip. I am still team Scott Hunter. That’s all.

That’s a wrap for Queer Clash 2026! Had an absolute blast playing ice hockey with these legends on Joe’s Juggernauts - sporting the pansexual pride flag and in honour of Joe Ball, Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪

Looking forward to the Queer Clash ice hockey tournament this weekend. I’ll be playing on Joe’s Juggernauts - named in honour of Victorian Commissioner for LGBTIQA+ Communities, Joe Ball. Our team uniform is the pansexual flag colours. Here are some of the legends I’m playing with (and against).

Awesome day at WOMADelaide. Highlight was definitely Dutch band My Baby. Also very kool to see Yothu Yindi perform.

Soweto Gospel Choir sings house dance anthems at Adelaide Fringe Festival. Mind. Blown! 🕺🤯

My ice hockey club on the ABC. Joined the Southern Lights in 2019 and never looked back 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💪 www.youtube.com/shorts/wZWLe...

There’s an expression in the US to describe people from Minnesota: ‘Minnesota nice’. It’s because people from Minnesota are consistently some of the friendliest souls you will ever meet. 1/2

Happy Midsumma Melbourne! Our Southern Lights Ice Hockey stall had more interest than ever before. Thanks, Heated Rivalry 😂🏒🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Heated Rivalry has suddenly brought attention to ice hockey in Australia - and more importantly to my club. The Southern Lights is Melbourne and Australia’s first LGBTIQ+ and inclusive club. We get a mention in this article - and hopefully more to come. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏒💪 www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Spoke to my mother this morning about the attack at Bondi. She summarised the Jewish spirit well: ‘We survive. Go eat.’

Hard to find words this morning, so will just repost this message from the Jewish Council of Australia.

North Melbourne Kangaroos AFLW back-to-back premiers!

I don't usually post clips from my ice hockey matches, but I was pretty proud of stopping this 2 on 1 breakaway last night. Context: we were short on players with only 3 defenders! www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxPGM...

I support several trans charities with my work, including donating all royalties from my book. One of those organisations is Transgender Victoria. If you donate to them through GiveOutDay between now and 16 October, funds will be matched. Donate here: giveoutday.org.au/o/transgende...

Today I gave a presentation. Someone came up to me afterwards and said I was so convincing and would make a really good conman 😂. I’ll take the compliment! (*I told her I’d make a terrible conman because I’m an awful liar.*)

My mum just sent this article to me. As an anti-Zionist Jew who grew up in the US, it very much resonates: www.theguardian.com/world/commen...

I’m old enough to remember when there was a pandemic, the Australian borders closed, and when stuff reopened after lockdowns there were massive staff shortages in all sorts of industries (especially hospitality and agriculture) because of the lack of immigrants.

I had the pleasure of being a judge for the NSW Regional and Community History and Australian History categories in this year’s NSW Premier’s History Awards. Congratulations to all shortlisted and commended authors! Very looking forward to the awards ceremony! www.sl.nsw.gov.au/awards/nsw-h...

This article nails it. I’m one of those Jews with ‘liberal Zionist parents whose kids took the social justice values seriously and emerged as anti-Zionists.’ www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

Looking forward to being able to donate blood again for the first time in over 20 years: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Drove by the Enchanted Valley and actually saw a rainbow! ¡Manejamos por el Valle Encantado y de verdad miramos un arco iris!

Touched every time I see these memorials to the disappeared in Argentina. Never again means never again for anyone. Me siento emocionado cada vez q veo los monumentos conmemorativos a los desaparecidos en Argentina. Nunca más significa nunca más por todos.

Meanwhile, in Iguazú… Mientras tanto, en Iguazú…

Meanwhile, in Patagonia… Mientras tanto, en Patagonia…

Today I learned that the word ‘scrimmage’ is very American and generally is not used in Australia outside of ice hockey circles. 20+ years here and still learning the language 😂.

Preparations for make-up Thanksgiving tomorrow have begun. Pumpkin pie baked and setting in fridge ✅ Turkey brining in the fridge ✅

Excited to see 'Transgender Australia' featured w/ such wonderful company (including @kfullagar.bsky.social & @hannahforsyth.bsky.social) as part of Australian Book Review books of the year. Buy it at any good independent bookstore or order from MUP. www.australianbookreview.com.au/abr-online/c...

I did a thing - a podcast talking about how I got into ice hockey as an adult. I love playing for Melbourne & Australia’s first #LGBTIQ+ and inclusive club, the Southern Lights. Also, some childhood confessions are now on public record! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pri... #hockeyisforeveryone

So lovey to attend the Canberra launch of my dear friend and recent colleague @hannahforsyth.bsky.social’s new book at Labour History conference. Hannah brings together complex ideas about virtue, merit, capital, gender & settler colonialism to rethink the rise of professions & managerialism.

It was an absolute pleasure talking trans history with long-standing advocate Jenny Scott on ABC Radio National Sunday Extra. There are as many #trans histories as there are trans people. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... #TransAwarenessWeek #TransDayofRemembrance #TDOR #LGBwiththeT #TransAlly
