Just another Melbourne schlep trying to balance a life of community and arts work. Sometimes I make comedy, sometimes I write, sometimes I sleep.

Let's talk about porn please. Average teen boy watches porn for 5 years before he has IRL sex. 80% of porn shows violent content. FB isn't the monster here, porn is. #eSafety19

I'm turning 27 soon (not quite a 'young' person) being online taught me about feminism, global climate crisis, and connecting with queers. The opportunities have outweighed the risks for me. #eSafety19

I am astonished at this panel’s discussion at #esafety19 - it’s so zero sum and aggressive.

Enjoying my time at The E- Safety commissioner's conference in Sydney! However, pretty dissapointed by the lack of female representation on all the panels! 1 woman for 4/5 men for the past two panels. Show me diverse voices! #eSafety19
