Priscilla Harvey - Living the Questions on Substack Get that Sweet Tea ready. So sweet you can stand a spoon up in it? Are you grinnin' like a possum eatin' a sweet tater'? Mmmm Hmmm. Vanilla Club is in North Queensland, Australia. Yet as strange as it sounds, despite two mountain ranges, the Great Plains, a massive ocean, a great barrier reef, some 1000's of km's of separation, there's a subtle resonance between the two places.

Jenna Lee on IG Jenna's website In this episode, we explore the intersections of art, identity, and cultural heritage with Larrakia Indigenous artist and designer Jenna (Mayilema) Lee, whose work navigates history, personal ancestry, and contemporary Australian life.

It is perhaps most similar to the usage of t...

K9 Reaper, a volunteer, civil protection officer, neighbourhood watchman, and citizen journalist, defies easy description. He is someone who has been labelled a racist (on X, with no shred of evidence), or at the least, not fully cognisant of his (white) privilege. He is also unafraid to tell of the underbelly of the collapse of state funct...

1. Dr. Alex Wodak - A Fireside Chat with the Mastermind of Harm Reduction: But is it the Simple Approach?
In our inaugural Vanilla Club episode we kick off with a very special guest, Dr. Alex Wodak. In a disarming, matter-of-fact style, he plunges us right into the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980's, pulling no punches about his role in applying civil disobedience to effectively shape government policy. The confluence of social stigma toward alternative lifestyles at the time, coupled with a shonky public understanding of the logarithmic effects of infection in epidemic situations, meant that Dr. Alex...
