You know what doesn't spark joy? My fucking period. You'd think I would've managed to get used to shedding the lining of my uterus - it's only happened every month since I was 10. Yes, I was 10 fucking years old the moment I thought I had minutes to live. Convinced I was dying, I…

Vitamin D
After a 13 year drought from the peen, I'm back on the horse - so to speak. People keep asking when I started to find myself attracted to doodles and to be honest, it's a super hard question to answer - haha 'hard'. I've always found men aesthetically attractive; and all the women and nb…
If you wanna be my lover 2.0
Well, who would have thought I'd be here again? I thought I was done with dating, but turns out I still had lessons to learn and the universe wasn’t done so I got caught in a perpetual shit show and a storm of emotions. Now that the sadness has lifted, I’m doing what any self…
Twenty Eight
It's almost my birthday and as usual I've got some shit to unpack so I can avoid taking it with me on my next trip around the sun. Why? Because excess baggage is unhealthy, unnecessary and pretty expensive. Plus, dealing with your shit is apparently all part of this adulting type deal so, there's that.…
#housewifelife
As many of you are probably aware, I have officially packed up my life and moved to the red (almost) centre of Australia with my lady love and our spotty pooch on a search for bulk coins, adventure and a future filled with travel and excitement. After packing all the boxes, the complete Tetris game…
Do you see me now?
I recently replayed one of my favourite storytellers Ivan Coyote expressing their love and gratitude for the beautiful, kickass, fierce and full-bodied femmes of the world. Do yourself a favour and watch it! Every time I do, this piece connects so beautifully with the very part of me that feels invisible to my community. You see, being…
The F word.
I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it won't come as a surprise to you that I am a feminist and without sounding too naive or idealistic, you're probably one too. Let's start off by saying, I'm not an academic. I haven't enrolled in gender studies or spent my life researching…
Cluck, Cluck, Clucky.
It’s hard to say exactly when my obsession with being a mother (and babies in general) all began but the more I think about it; I blame my Baby Born circa 1996, Leonie. While other little girls were begging their parents for The Beauty and The Beast on VHS and wearing every butterfly clip they could…
Sisters are doing it for themselves.
I've been 'dating' since I was 13 years old, well before I knew what dating actually meant. Back then, it was pretty much just me making out with my first ever boyfriend Arie for the entire 2 hours and 23 minutes of Pirates of The Caribbean and every movie we ever watched. Ahhh, that was…
Hindsight.
I've been dreaming of living in Melbourne since I was 12 years old. I imagined I would live in an apartment in St Kilda, just like the characters on The Secret Life of Us. My super hot friends and I would drink on our rooftop terrace and play soccer across from The Espy. Now, my friends…
