Here's an example of what you get. But, generally, it includes:
With mounting evidence (and regulation) that social media poses a real threat to our attention and mental health, I no longer post to social media feeds nor do I browse them.
As it turns out, I feel like I make better and more personal work when I turn off the 'requirement' to post everything I make to a social account. I have faith that better work will find an audience without me having to play 'content' games for Meta's benefit.
I have lived and worked my whole life in Gadigal and Boon Wurrung Country in what we now call Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past and present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and through my work, aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
The land we call Australia always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
