Lost in Translation
Lost in Translation
I sometimes wish I could be more transient, damn my need to have attachments to objects and places (and my new kitty) I would love to be able to take off for random adventures. I am feeling sore about missing this years NOWSA and QC conferences, oddly last year I didn’t give a shit about missing them (they were after all in shitty places like Perth and Adelaide). Suddenly I have had emails, calls and text messages enquiring about my attendance this year. QC looks awesome this year and I am excited about this new national queer youth network. I guess I had prepared myself for walking away, and now I am studying Social Work I suddenly feel the need to come back. I think I am well and truly post-burnout and I am dying for a purpose again. Athena is giving a paper at NOWSA and I wish I was there to be so proud of her. I am glad NOWSA is back in Melbourne, I hope there is still a presence of kick ass grrrls and it has been such a long time since 1999 and the wounds have all heeled I hope and that people have deconstructed their politix as I have.
Ladyfest and Vibewire zine section
I am stoked that Ladyfest starts on my 27th birthday; in fact I turned 25 at the Melbourne Ladyfest. Dates are Nov 23-26…..some brilliant American grrrls are coming over! Must get this Vibewire section up soon. Start sending me your zines or something,
I will be organising play dates soon and my mummy is FINALLY visiting me shortly
