“Americans, steeped in the ideal of religious freedom, take it for granted that orthodoxy without room for heresy is dangerous. Think of the Inquisition, they say, or the trial of Galileo, or (a little closer to home) the Puritan witch hunts. Yet heresy without room for orthodoxy turns out to be dangerous as well. Many of the overlapping crises in American life, from our foreign policy disasters to the housing bubble to the rate of out-of-wedlock births, can be traced to the impulse to emphasize one particular element of traditional Christianity—one insight, one doctrine, one teaching or tradition—at the expense of all the others. The goal is always progress: a belief system that’s simpler or more reasonable, more authentic or more up-to-date. Yet the results often vindicate the older Christian synthesis. Heresy sets out to be simpler and more appealing and more rational, but it often ends up being more extreme.”
Ross Douthat, “Bad Religion”

Mainline Magazine, winter 2020 issue, "P Freaks" poem contributed by "Suzie".
P Freaks
Brain leaks
Carnage they seek
Then get weak
Coz that's what they seek
Week after week
wank as stupid geeks
They get exactly what they reap
Shame should've taken the back seat
Before getting in too deep
Just get some fucken sleep!

Heritage Listed mainline sewer viaduct (1898-99). Built to bring the first sewerage to the Inner West as a job creation project near the end of almost a decade of economic depression, but a wide network of sewers didn't become a reality until the 1930’s. A fancy design of brick and cast iron latticing was rejected, in favour of this - the first instance of steel reinforced concrete employed in Sydney architecture as a cost saving measure. 990 feet long. Constructed over almost two years, it's required only minor repairs since and remains operational. Annandale.

Aubrey's day goes from bad to worse. Decisions are made. Crises are had. The clock ticks ever closer to midnight. While the NeoScum reckon with unfathomable enemies in Los Angeles, Aubrey finally caves to the mounting pressure to turn and face the demons that have been chasing her for so long.
Tonight is the night where everything changes, forever.
The long-awaited PART 2 of CATALYST is now available to read on my website.
