25.01.2022 CW: sex pestery im so tired of men being inappropriate and unable to control their dicks enough to respect a woman or to do the right thing by them or not try to use the thinnest veneer of professional exchange to try to fuck someone. know that i too stand with @jaguarjonze and @sheisaphrodite and hopefully we can form a coalition of women and allies who hold ding dongs accountable as best as we can. defamation laws in australia are filthy so its a tough thing to navigate b...ut conversations about these things definitely help others learn from our stories. i remember being a young thing and thinking having the sexual attention of a man esp in the music industry was something that would be necessary to the progression of my career. its not, its a fucked norm we should dismantle. and before anyone is like, but DID fucking men in the music industry get you to where you are now? the answer is: no, it did not. the conversation will continue... Posted @withregram @jaguarjonze *PLEASE READ // TRIGGER WARNING* This is all about ONE MALE PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE INDUSTRY. One person, 26 stories and so many women who have felt shame, hurt, guilt, discomfort and fear by this man who abused his place of power, especially while women were vulnerable in his space. This is not on. And the disgusting thing is how many more stories are coming forward about men in all places of the music industry. If you have a story you want to share, please come forward and add it into the many voices that are speaking together right now. Please DM myself or @sheisaphrodite We will protect each other and stand for a change. This cannot go on. We hear you and we see you.

21.01.2022 #Ausmusictshirtday has a BRAND SPANKING NEW date to expedite some support (especially the urgently needed and glaringly lacking [given the kind of output creatives are presently producing for free online] financial kind) for music artists. the date is April 17, and you can buy my merch from here: www.bandtshirts.com.au/shop/montaigne. if you already have some, buy some more! if youve got all of it or cant afford luxury expenses at the moment, show off what you got online an...d the cosmos will bequeath unto you a kiss, and I will flash you and a smile and wink, but imperceptibly, because I will be terribly far away from you, as we all are from each other, to impede the spread of this ugly virus. P.S. ordering sooner than April 17 gives merch companies time to prepare for an influx of orders so if you can get an order in early, youll be doing some hard-working labourers a favour. love

20.01.2022 i think im ready 2 go

20.01.2022 hello my kids. give yourself a hug from me as I pass it on from the wonderful @dadimakesmusic to the also wonderful @mar.elisa.music for #hugforesc2020. my phone is old and the audio is really bad so have just provided a nice hug boomerang. may it feel warm and cosy, if only digitally. wishing everyone well and hope you are healthy, happy, and peaceful. hope you can touch some nature and restore your spirit. and hope you can keep connecting with your fellow folk around the world!

17.01.2022 writing from Gadigal land in the Eora nation I wish you a belated (Australian) #happyearthday. the traditional owners of the land of this continent understand truly what it means to honour, cherish, and respect the earth and it would behoove us to begin to take a leaf out of their book. capitalism and meritocracy are the great death of our relationship with nature as a collective humanity and it must be absolutely transformed to allow for all people and ecosystems to thrive. hoping that this pandemic catalyses massive public outrage and action once its all over. theres already so much good work happening, from car protests to online organising for now and for the future. touch a plant and listen to plantasia by mort garson or djarimirri by gurrumul today. love and furious blades of grass to all.

17.01.2022 I SING GOOD I MAKE GOOD SONG IF YOU LIKE THEN COME ALONG AT twitch.tv/actualmontaigne the streams are so fun and its basically the same as a live show but also offers real time interaction and discussion with both myself and the kind and funny viewers and you can also see me in the process of creation. if i could watch my fave artists make stuff in real time i sure would fuckin be there in a heartbeat

15.01.2022 THIS THURS NIGHT a national screening of the #stopadani documentary focusing on the fight of the wangan and jangalingou people against adani, who are attempting to build a gigantic coal mine on aboriginal land, without the traditional owners’ consent. i’ll be there having a bit of a chat before the movie you can buy tix at the link in my bio!!! all money helps support the wangan and jagalingou council.

14.01.2022 hey folks, just wanted to put out there how absolutely non-negotiably irrefutably necessary it is to self-isolate right now. the govts just announced new payment upgrades through jobseeker payments from Centrelink for those who have lost jobs or seen significant decrease in revenue in their small business because of #coronavirus so once the non-essential service ban kicks in (will be spoken about in cabinet tonight) thats a great avenue for you to get some money to survive... on. when you go to places that are still open wash your hands before arrival, wear face masks, and try to keep 1.5m of distance between you and anyone else who isnt living with you. even if you dont think coronavirus will kill or incapacitate you, its really time to exercise your empathy and compassion to its fullest extent, perhaps even extend its borders. otherwise this gremlin is gonna come and find you in fully sanitised hazmat suit and toss you in the bin (your home). buy a video game console itll keep you busy for years

13.01.2022 will be streaming final fantasy 7 remake on twitch at 6pm tonight (in 10 mins). my boyfriend will be playing animal crossing next to me. we are gamers

13.01.2022 had such a nice @twitch_anz stream this afternoon!!!! planning to do them more often, performing on them, kicking the football, chatting about the mcelroy family, all the good stuff. if youre wondering how you can support me while Art As Work is Cancelled, you can donate via the stream or else pay to have me perform an action (still havent figured this out yet, but will). like, if you wanted me to sing the chorus to Dont Break Me etc. money will go to running costs and eventually regularly to groups like @blackrainbowaus. anyway, im excited to connect with yall more this way, and maybe stream music production sessions in the future. scroll to last slide for a nice surprise i offered on the twitch stream me at my year 10 formal. handsome! pics by @jessgleeson

11.01.2022 ME AND THE THRILLING @DEMILARDNER ARE GONNA DO A TWITCH STREAM TOGETHER TONIGHT, 8PM, LINK TO WATCH SPACE IS IN MY BIO, THANKS

10.01.2022 vigil & protest in sydney on saturday the rest is for the today show reporter who claimed australians cant empathise with the plight of black americans the nation of australia was founded upon the bedrock of genocide, upon the implicit (and often explicit) belief that white people are superior in moral, intellectual, and technological intelligence, and that those with black skin deserve to be treated as subhuman. these beliefs still permeate the current political system, ...all social relations, decide that aboriginal people die younger, represent only 2% of the national population but 27% of the national prison population, and die in custody year after year. if you can recognise that the indigenous of our country endure systemic suffering, that you would not ever like to experience the same kind of suffering, then how can you remain apolitical, or inactive moreover, how can you criticise black people the world round for fighting for dignity? for their voices to go unheard for so long, how can you accuse them, in your hypocrisy, of being irresponsible for protesting because of coronavirus, when we have been murdering them, enslaving them, oppressing them, for CENTURIES? i will not be participating in #blackouttuesday, silence is performative, we should be sharing black voices, information about the black experience, instead of hiding behind a solidarity post. show the fuck up and actually demonstrate that youre not too concerned about sullying your online brand to commit to learning about sociopolitical history and share the discourse you come across with your peers. silence together is nothing but a shallow kumbaya hoping that your prayers osmose into your fans or followers brains and teach them about the reality of racism. newsflash, not gonna happen

04.01.2022 me n polite clean boy are back with another stream this evening 6pm AEST streaming horizon zero dawn and eating kale. as in, Pat will be eating kale, because he broke his promise to the stream. thank you also to the legends yesterday who donated enough for me to cover all costs for @em_niwas beautiful illustrations Ive commissioned for the channel. it was really fun yesterday and I am primed for another fun one!!!

04.01.2022 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!!! took me some time to make this post bc blm felt most urgent and salient and also i have complicated feelings about my queerness i wanted to relate but my beautiful bi bf reminded me, dont overthink it. its pride and youre gay. have fun. so im gonna do that for a sec. heres the gay couple on their second date. reminder to those who need it that if we were in a non-monogamous relationship we would be smooching people not of the opposite gender or sex... thank you !!! thank u @jessgleeson for these iconic photos from what was for me a very boozy spotify party (when i say boozy i mean i had two wines. i never drink so i am champion lightweight) P.S. wanna recognise that regardless of our personal bisexuality we have privileges that gay-presenting couples do not have in public and so wanna clarify use of the descriptor gay is a colloquialism and wanna respect the real lived plight of queer-presenting queers

03.01.2022 EDIT: STREAM MOVED TO 3PM AEST!!!! NOT 12PM!!!! NOTA BENE!!!!!! gonna stream animal crossing for an hour tomorrow at 12pm on Twitch. tune in at twitch.tv/actualmontaigne !!!! pic by @jessgleeson

03.01.2022 tonight! #EarthHourLive

02.01.2022 ive known Sam (also known as slangers or new slang or @slangers.gov.au) since I was in kindergarten. funny thing is, I didnt like them much at all until year 11. it was then that we started talking, not at school, but through tumblr, realising that in that delicious, adolescent way we felt like we were the only two people we knew that really understood each other. our online communication then inspired the beginning of small acts of courageous recognition smiling ...at each other when we walked past each other in the school corridor, then going the next big step to saying hi, and eventually outright talking to each other in the physical as well as digital realm. they were my first and only connection to unashamed lyrical written expression. they seemed to perceive beauty around them the way I felt I did, and we shared that through mix CDs with accompanying pages of sentimental notes on the songs. they were also my first and main point of connection with queerness. I owe their lack of shame about it to my own lack thereof. eventually, I wrote them a letter confessing I had a crush on them. it was not reciprocated, but it didnt alter our friendship. Sam wound up being my longest-time friend, one of my closest and most trusted of friends. they always had time for me, werent afraid to tell me when I was being a big nonce over a terrible, way too old for me boy, and inspired me to no end with their intelligence, wisdom, creativity, eloquence, compassion, and confidence. for a long time, even though they were my peer, younger in fact, I really looked up to them and really cared about what they thought eventually I came to feel like we were equals, and that was nice, but I think my deference to them positively shaped me into who I am as an artist and a friend. Sam passed away last week, their mum called to tell me just before Big Night In. it feels like my brain cant really make sense of it for much longer than a few minutes at a time. I feel okay at the moment grief is strange like that though I cant stop thinking about it and them. not gonna post on feed about other things for a bit, feels weird. i love you and miss you Sam.
