Written for Frooty Magazine, Issue #1, published 24 May 2019. Montaigne is Jessica Cero: a Sydney-based singer-songwriter with her goals set for success. She made her mainstream debut in 2012 with ‘Anyone But Me’, which took her to the finals in Triple J’s Unearthed High. And released her debut single ‘I Am Not An End’ in 2014 with a little…
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…
Oh hey, friend. I said it would happen and it happened: I got busy and had to put this blog project on hold. But tonight, my good friend, will be the last thing in a month-long bombardment of social and cultural things.

If you’re anything like me, then there’s nothing you like more than sitting down to a good, queer book that doesn’t kill our people at the end. Unfortunately for you and me, the global publishing industry performs poorly in terms of pushing queer titles—either by ignoring our emotional responses, boxing…
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…

An electric guitar, a chord of coded hankies, a quick dose of PrEP, and…what could be mistaken for Eric Abetz’s actual face. ‘Regan Lynch Does It In Public’ is the comedic queercore burlesque number Brisbane was dying to have inside her.
