It was some time between midnight and 3am. I was dead asleep. I’d fed the littliest at midnight so it was after that, and it was before he woke up for a feed at 3am.

I'm an aspiring author, but I feel like all of my ideas are too heavily inspired by other works of fiction. I really like them, but I'm worried that if I show people they'll think I copied X or Y. Any advice?
When we start out, we sound like other people.
As we write we sound more and more like ourselves, and we become ourselves. We learn that it’s not the ideas that matter as much as the way we express the idea.
As we live we accumulate life experience, and it’s where we get our own ideas from. We stop sounding like other people, stop doing things their way, and start doing them our own way.
My advice is to keep writing.

When I was pregnant, I knew that my body would change. Over the course of the pregnancy, as a result of labour, breastfeeding, and having a lifestyle change. But it’s surprised me how this process has continued. Exactly 16 months after I gave birth, I’m discovering new things about what it is that’s happened to my body.

Parenthetical asides and the textuality of inflected moods have always fascinated me. This is a wonderful exploration.

I can so relate to this. I always got told to pretty much suck it up each month. Terrible periods which started when I was 12, diagnosed and operated on at 29.

Great article on educating teens in power dynamics within relationships, and encouraging them to be active participants in their worlds. Sad and terrible story about power and jealousy gone wrong.

Really awful and accurate account of the fascist tendencies of the Abbott government
There’s a link doing the rounds that deserves a much wider audience and certainly a greater role in the national consciousness. This particular precis, which can be found here, is a study conducted by Dr Lawrence Britt in 2003 detailing the defining traits of fascism. The reason it’s so...
