![]() I never should have given the little brat a key. I ran a hand over my face and swung my legs over the edge of the bed just as the bedroom door swung open. A soft moan from the other side of the bed reminded me that I hadn’t come home from the bar last night alone, not that I remembered the girl’s name or what she looked like or if had even been worth her time to stumble into my apartment with me.

I try and write what I know, just a more romantic and idealized version of it so this is also for all the real life tattooed boys that have been in and out of my life over the years that served as inspiration for my heroes.

Source: FOX SPORTSĪnd again, that’s the optimistic view. Tasmania looks set to be handed the license for a 19th AFL club. Gold Coast and GWS led the way with $25 million each. This would place them in the same region as the smaller Victoria clubs, with North Melbourne and St Kilda receiving around $18-19 million last year. In the 2020 report tabled to Tasmanian Parliament, it was suggested the club would need “approximately $15-17 million from an AFL dividend”. Financial documents created by groups backing a bid for a new sporting franchise are always rosy, but even they have conceded the Tasmanian club will be one of the smaller ones in the AFL. ![]() ![]() ![]() We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.įar from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. ![]() And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it.

You could conjure them up and kill them in a sentence.” At the same time, there’s something looser about her stories, more offhand. That’s hardly a new idea for Smith, who in her 2012 novel “ NW” insisted, “People were not people but merely an effect of language. What then do we make of the 19 stories gathered in “Grand Union,” Smith’s first collection of short fiction?
