The rejection of structure and the refusal of limitation made me feel alive, that I had control over my own life and, in doing so, gained freedom. In that moment, I decided to dye my hair semi-permanently pink. I did it because I wanted to be someone different for a while, someone who cares more about the moment than what the moment means. Someone who can enjoy life and bask in the instability of youth.

Ethel Cain night 2 Melbourne on digital camera
Exert from last night
In a place where features are distorted, and minds bend to the compromise of music, I feel more alone and outcast than ever. In this moment of supposed bliss, I wonder if I will ever be unconditionally happy. Will pleasure satisfy me or carve a deeper trench into the soil of my soul?
Now I walk through the empty streets of a big city with my feet slurring at the same pace as my brain. I photograph my tears to prove they were shed because when I wake up, I will tell myself it was all a dream, and the only thing stopping me from having fun is myself.
Extract from Unpublished Novella 'The French Journal'
Thursday, 31st August.
Lying there, I hoped it would give me a purity I could not give myself. I thought a lot about nothing at the same time, wondering if the plague of freckles on my face made me less attractive or if cherry nail polish would look better than navy. I read a little, then plopped the novel onto the cold tile. Closing my eyes, rolling a heavy head to rest on the blush pink wall of the ceramic tub, the warm soapy water twirling above my naked body like a peaceful murmur in a labyrinth of disgust I feel for my skin. I felt myself slip and the water rise from my collarbone and through my hair, picking up the loose strands and making them float. I imagined I was in the ocean so far out to sea that I was closer to the moon than another person. Looking up, light shot through the water's surface like needles, illuminating chosen slivers of blue. My lungs were full of precious air that I would no longer recognise the taste of. Up, towards the light, it was too far for me to swim to. Down, it is darker, endless, unknown. I stay, like a puppet tied to a clear string in the undecided middle, the in-between; too deep to save yourself, not deep enough to be gone.
“I’d reach into your body. And fix you if I could. Will it feel like this forever?”

“Have you no sense of decency?”
Trump's malice exceeds McCarthy's, plunging the USA into a new political age of prejudice.
The cultural fear McCarthyism generated through ideological persecution continues to persist today, resurfacing as Trumpism. As the world continues into the 21st century, the Trump administration sends America back to 1798.
The connection between McCarthy and Trump’s political exposition lies in their parallel use of fear and national security rhetoric to marginalise specific groups; however, McCarthy’s tactics can be seen as establishing the ideological and philosophical framework that Trump would inherit and expand.
But unlike the McCarthy era, we are seeing significantly more resistance against Trump's tyranny and the U.S military's role in the genocidal war against the Palestinian people. The fact that Trump’s political success drew from McCarthy’s tactics so significantly raises the question of where his presidency could exist without those precedents. Legacies of McCarthyism have not only endured but evolved, continuing to endanger American democracy.

I’m not ashamed to say my favourite part of a movie is the beginning when they establish characters and setting and everyone’s having a good time.

Wallum Whispers by Nicole Jakins
Explores the delicate, often unnoticed dialogue between the elements of nature, embodied through sculptural works crafted from a limited palette of silvery hues.
