It's wholesome newsletter time this Friday! Would you like to join in? Not going to lie, the submissions from the first newsletter onwards are getting lighter and lighter as ND interest and motivation goes haha!

So if there's ever a time to contribute, it's now. Plus it gets dark so early now, what else is there to do with your time? 😅

You can honestly submit anything as long as it falls into the realm, in some way, of wholesome vibes. I think I'm going to share my bower bird families new and improved second nest for winter and all the associated emotions when I found it.

Here's some random ideas off the top of my head: a recipe, a drawing, a review of a movie/tv show/anything, a tiktok or meme that you are liking or learnt something from, a youtuber that is doing cool stuff, your thoughts on something, a quote, a convo you had with someone that got you thinking.

Why am I so invested? I just think a free wholesome newsletter you get in your email that isn't sales junk or news of the state of the world is good energy. But I could be bias because I also hold MANY physical magazine subscriptions and patreon subs too. I just love learning and listening to things people want to share that isn't on the socials - it feels extra special.

Save the date fam!

It's Pride and I thought we could combine all of our prides over everything to culminate in a big infodump/show and tell/talent show extravaganza!

Link in bio. Bookings essential because I might have to cap it like a responsible adult if it gets too big haha.

Please share far and wide. Honestly, what I realised from the picnic was that people had found the event from their friends stories, their therapists sharing it with them etc.

Here's to community. May we find it and may we find the strength to lock into it as a community member because you will be required to rock up, get on the tools, and maybe even talk to interesting strangers who sit beside you and do the COOLEST watercolour artwork on the spot!

Biggest thanks to for hosting the most wholesome event ever and really embodying community spirit.

A big part of today was how bees exist in community and how it keeps them alive. They all have individual + important roles and communicate so well and respectfully to keep it all going amongst roles (they dance amongst other things!). And ain't that exactly what community is for us too.

Survival, connection, cup-filling, vital, hopeful.

Keen to do some good ED/complex mental health/disability social work. Anyone got any tips or Intel into what space to rent? Other great clinicians already in Dalby? Etc

If you're not from Dalby, you can stay and watch me build a whole new practice in a whole new town for funsies 🤠

I'm going to hell for this but I couldn't help myself 😎

If you live in Toowoomba and you likes bees and/or community, it's World of Bees Morning Tea (and it rhymes!!!).

Queen Meg will be there and our very own Little Ripper Marina is hosting it. What's not to love??

Here's the copy and pasted shortened info:
This World Bee Day, we are celebrating the wonderful world of honey bees with Dr Diana Leemon + delectable honey-themed morning tea. Join us to celebrate the wonderful world of honey bees through the eyes of artisans, makers and scientists who are inspired by them. Megan O'Hara Sullivan, local legend and host of Big Little Small Talk, will welcome us into conversation with Dr Leemon to discuss what important lessons we can take from our honey bees.

This is not your average bee gathering: dip your toes into the honeybee’s world of wonder via stories from the people who work with them. Our special morning tea event will have us in conversation with Dr Diana Leemon, who will share some of the lessons she has learned through her bee research, industry advocacy and time spent with these magnificent creatures.

Whether you attend the official morning tea event, or pop in anytime until 2pm, you’ll have many opportunities to discover the magic contained + created inside of the bee hive.

Additional opportunities to support the work of the Wheen Bee foundation available on the day.

Interactive displays, take-home recipe cards, make your own candles, Honey Flow Gallery, lucky door prizes + more

Can’t make it to the 10am morning tea?
Pop in from 11am-2pm for:
• waggle dance workshops
• candle-making
• honey tasting

A variety of local honeys, honeycomb, beeswax and beeswax balms will be available to purchase throughout the day

Introducing my quirkiest idea yet 😊

Free spots allocated for TGD and/or First Nations folk. $10 concession price.

I want to make therapy skills more accessible and I finally have some capacity to bring the idea to life. Please share with anyone who would benefit from a yap sesh 📣

What an arvo ☀️💟

These are the only photos I took from our q***r picnic and crafternoon because I was too busy dying from wholesomeness.

I commented on how well everyone got along and it eased my big worries that everyone would feel awkward. Someone commented the most beautiful thing and said that everyone has the common thread of somehow knowing me and my common thread is intersectionality so it's all good 😭

I'm overwhelmed by the amount of people who still put their trust and faith in me from day 1 of social work. I started at a school and realised it needed to be yassified pronto. There were so many folks from that school who came today and honestly, I always think about what a blessing it is that they are still here and still joining the Q***r Joy Agenda I have going on.

Thanks for being here, always ☺️

Next question, what's the vibe for pride? What event should we host? I was talking about a PowerPoint/show and tell evening where you can infodump on a topic that makes you happy. Thoughts? Other ideas?

The vegan cinnamon scrolls are in the oven as I type this!

Someone asked me if they could bring food today. Of course you can. But you don't have to. I'm that person that over-brings and then insists everyone take some stuff home so we're sorted. I know some people like baking or bringing things though and you add more than welcome to.
