Where queer millennial nostalgia settles in. Part diary, part TV debrief, part late night spiral about the scenes that shaped us.

I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia and pay my respects to First Nations peoples, past and present. Their stories, knowledge and care for Country continue to shape this place, and I’m grateful to be writing on lands where storytelling has always mattered.
