I see you Fake Halloween earrings lovers. All these folks complementing my Halloween earrings on the 31st of October but they were silent when I wore Halloween earrings All Month Long. Imagine only loving skeleton earrings one day a year, couldn't be me.

Me: my bus comes in 6 minutes, is it possible to get all my meds in that time?
Pharmacist: oh I am so sorry our computer is down right now, we can't do that.
Me: okay, do you want to look at pictures of my cat for six minutes?
Pharmacist: absolutely.

I was worried we were outing ourselves to the whole neighborhood with our commitment to Halloween decorations while never acknowledging Christmas, but the other day I said "Halloween is gay Christmas" to a straight person and they were completely baffled so I reckon we are in the clear.

Here's some good news: when we harness trained our indoor cat so she could go on little walkies outside, it turns out we also trained her to wear Halloween costumes that are harness shaped.

I really enjoyed being in a room of 30-something queers as we all simultaneously discovered Missy Higgins was bisexual during a SingStar rendition of Scar.

Me: maybe a little tweak to my usual evening, do a little something for my wellbeing.
The cat, running around the house banging pots and pans together: THE ROUTINE THE ROUTINE YOU FUCKED THE ROUTINE YOU HAVE RUINED MY FUCKING LIFE!

Logically I understand that birds have been sitting on their babies for as long as there have been birds... part of me still wants to be like "do you know you are sitting on your baby there? Buddy? You are so sitting on your baby right now."

Sorry folks I have to take this back, he is definitely a For Real Healthcare Professional because I finally convinced him to take a cursory look at some pain I have been complaining about for Months and he was shocked to find out there was an actual problem, as Healthcare Professionals always are.
I think my physiotherapist is a money laundering front because there is always every single appointment available, every day, every week, every month, forever, but they never seem that keen on me making my next appointment.

I went to WoW for the first time this year and I really think straight people are going to lose their minds when they find out about drag. You want outfits made of improbable materials? Drag. Outfits that seem physically impossible? Drag. The queers are pulling this off while also doing the splits.

Doing the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind procedure on myself to make me forget about clothes I want but can't afford. Heartbreakingly, during the process I am reminded just how much I love looking at clothes I can't afford (so much).

Emotionally devastated myself by thinking about how the cat probably thinks we don't love her because we are never trying to make biscuits out of her.

I burnt my burrito but the most impressive part of burning my burrito is that I didn't get distracted and wander off I was staring at it the whole time thinking "this is taking fucking ages"

The physio was already costing money but it is also revealing at an alarming rate just how many of my clothes are on the fucking edge through the combination of the Enshittification of clothing and me getting thicker everyday as the lord intended.
My poor physiotherapist, who was already having to deal with the closest thing to sneakers I own being platform doc martens, got to learn what it sounds like when an underwire snaps today, which was definitely not something he was used to, but something I am far too familiar with unfortunately.

When I have to abandon a bus and walk the rest of my commute because someone parked their car in a completely legal car park, rendering the road impossible for buses to use, I should be able to subscribe for updates, how long was the driver leaning on that horn before someone came to move the car?

We are launching Paige's book tomorrow! It is an excellent addition to the impeccable tradition of trans people being correct about media. We have discount codes we would love to give you!
If you aren't into books I have a sequin dress and a push-up bra so there will still be something to look at.

The in-person book launch is finally happening💀
If you're in Wellington on August 28th we'll be having a few beers and pizzas at the Hunter Lounge to celebrate. The cat won't be there, but Alex will be wearing a lot of sequins so it's still probably worth stopping by.
