What does grindcore have to do with class politics and Australian PM’s Keating’s 1990s cultural cosmopolitanism? Or maybe you just want to read about the c word? 🤷🏻‍♀️ my book on BLOOD DUSTER is available for pre order from @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social www.bloomsbury.com/au/blood-dus...

Auckland sojourn … great to see my sis and Chris,and toast Gian’s exhibition at Gus Fisher 🖼️ gallery! Watch this space for an ArtNZ review soon x

On Epstein and politics. Some are saying that to reduce the sex trafficking and sex trafficking of girls to ‘politics’ and ‘scandal’ erases the victimhood of the redacted girls. I disagree. Patriarchy is political. This ‘scandal’ misses the mark with outrage abt princes, who’s who 1/2

YUGE if true.

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

I need answers. Why in NZ on a day which is 13 degrees and raining and windy, do cafes have multiple doors open? Is this a Dunedin thing? Whole of country? I’ve been told it’s to ‘ventilate the kitchen’. Dont kitchens have extractor fans? People sit in cafes in coats and puffers. #NewZealand #Kiwi

On management speak 🗣️ … lately it seems ‘socialise’ has replaced ‘buy in’ for managers. Instead of getting worker ‘buy in’ on the latest form of extraction or exploitation, bosses speak of ‘socialising’ it: eg. “we need to socialise the idea of requiring the use of Teams” #BossTalk
