Mean Girls
Look. I almost said no when they said we’d be dissecting Mean Girls, because nobody I ever knew thought it was queer enough for a queer film club. Ever. Sure it had its queer aspects and sure it was quotable as heck. And sure every generation of twink since has idolised that toxic, teen girl mentality. But was that enough?…
Queer Literature Night
Brisbane is alive with queer creatives doing amazing things, and that’s never been clearer than in 2018. Brands like Hung Dada (Ethan Waghorn), DVRX (Joel Devereux), and Silver Sircus have become household names among queer Brisbanites with festivals like MELT, Anywhere Theatre, and Digital Writers Festival doing a fantastic job of showcasing our emerging artists. This year I was privileged enough…
When It Rains…
Oh hey, friend. I said it would happen and it happened: I got busy and had to put this blog project on hold.

Here and Queer (Aug 10-17)
Oh hey, friend. So here’s a regular segment idea. One of my gigs is researching and drafting content for the QCalendar section of QNews Magazine: Queensland’s (free) dedicated LGBTIQ+ street mag. My job is to discover local queer events blossoming in secret and expose them to our readers – which is just a responsible way of saying they pay me…
