'Dear young girl in the bubble-gum-pink hijab who wandered in on the book launch…
I want to apologise.
Your eyes looking up in adoration at the 70-ish white grandmother while she autographed your copy of our book…'

It's time to prepare for one of the coolest books of the year (by rewatching Mean Girls ofc).
The cover for SELFIE by @allayne_webster is here! Meet Tully and Dene and prepare to join #denequeens in this tender story about friendship, social media and staying true to yourself ❤️

While I am at home for my isolation period, I am going to be radically resting and not trying to work remotely through this.

Friday February 10. Melbourne folks, I have a calendar gap in the morning and I'd love to visit a school that doesn't have the budget for many (if any) author visits. DM or email

From today, all Victorians can collect free rapid antigen tests from participating local councils to help with early detection and treatment of COVID.
Everyone can collect up to 2 packs of 5 RATs per person, and 2 packs per household member. You do not need a Medicare card.

But please stop acting like an ID in the captions kills all the birds* with one stone! Because it doesn't, and alt text has a very important place for the people it was created for. So use it! And please please never post the description in the comments! 11/
