Both comforting and frustrating that this issue is global. Statistics on Australian literary festivals from an article written by @joshuasantospirito.com about the lack of comic representation at non-comic events. 🔗 overland.org.au/2026/10/dear...

Pitches are now open for 2027 at Island mag for COMICS! Due by Oct 1. I’m returning as editor: I’m looking for PITCHES (not complete work) that can fit in a literary magazines pages, stuff that can show the readers what comics can do, island.submittable.com/submit/36684...

Happy solstice to all you kind people out there. The rest of you fuckers can just listen and learn.

So stoked about the NEW ANNUAL ZINE FAIR in Lutruwita/Tasmania! The State Library & Archives Zine Fair went super well with plenty of punters rolling in for nice chats and zine consumption.

Death to arts boards

Death to arts boards

It began, as all writers festivals do, with zero comics authors being programmed … and it ended, as with lots of writers festivals these days, with comics authors being annoyed they cant join the walkout.

Tonight ~ Nipaluna Bing/Santospirito’s first concert of the year at Good Grief Studio’s exhibition opening. Friday 9th of Jan.

The Acolyte is really good and Darth Manny is so captivating.

Well done Danielle Wood for this engaging article in the Hobart Mercury about Tasmania’s precious Hare Clark voting system and the woman whose name should be added to those of Hare and Clark.

Last night’s performance with Jane Stark was super fun. In the beautiful BEAUTIFUL Sullivan Hall in White Gum Valley. Thank you WWIM for hosting.

Since there is now a concentration camp on US soil, I felt that it was time for me to read Maus by Art Spiegelman. #booksky #bannedbooks #reading #socialjustice #literature #books

Pretty chuffed with how this track turned out.

Album is up. Lovers of synth and haters of fascism get onto it. @synthsky.bsky.social joshuasantospirito.bandcamp.com/album/hope-i...

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Oh sure, fuckhead is on tour.

Moving towards the solstice so had a joyful time in the music room with this maximalist synthesiser meditation. Longer vid on my Insta. @moogsynth.bsky.social @synthsky.bsky.social

My graphic novel is one of Alia Graphic’s notables for 2024! Thanks Alia for all the work you do promoting comics in libraries.

I really dislike this smug, disingenuous, baseless type of critique of Greta Thunberg. For all the millions of narcissists, egotists, charismatic villains and disrupters, she’s a bleeding heart with the courage to take action beyond words. www.smh.com.au/world/middle...

From Bing/Santospirito’s set on Saturday during Dark Mofo.

Playing at MONA this Friday as part of Dark Mofo. 10am-12pm at the SEX AND DEATH DAY SPA.

Controversial double opinion: ‘Lotus’ is R.E.M.’s best track and Israel is awful.

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.
