It began, as all writers festivals do, with zero comics authors being programmed … and it ended, as with lots of writers festivals these days, with comics authors being annoyed they cant join the walkout.

Well done Danielle Wood for this engaging article in the Hobart Mercury about Tasmania’s precious Hare Clark voting system and the woman whose name should be added to those of Hare and Clark.

1000 Women in Horror From the silent era until today, the nightmares that have haunted our screen have been sculpted and embodied by women, but many of those artists have gone....

🚨 Big news 5 years in the making: some friends and I made a documentary! 1000 WOMEN IN HORROR hits Shudder soon, directed by Donna Davies and inspired by my 2020 book of the same name

If you are in Australia, I hope you can make it to the world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival

- You've heard what they say about Auschwitz. Horrible, incredible things.
- That can't be true!

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman.

Activists like Greta Thunberg care more about fame than facts When it comes to the moral high road, the likes of Thunberg seek to occupy ALL of it, no matter how muddled the thinking. This is precisely the problem.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...
