Cops were bastards at the protests today.

Long live Australia’s migrants! Long shall our borders stay open! Long live Gaza! Long live Palestine!

I don’t respect the colours of a flag that stands for genocide and colonialism. I respect the people of this country, in all their colours.

Notebooks I filled circa 2022-2024 (inclusive) arranged roughly chronologically.

Design work, research, sketches, writing, and personal reflections contained within.
A thick 20-ish centimetre stack of notebooks of varying sizes held splayed out in a hand.

Post a picture of when your pet was little.

It’s ridiculous how small and funny he was
Nashi as a tiny baby standing like a little doll of a cat. He was maybe 2.5 or 3 apples tall. Grey tuxedo with a white belly. Aforementioned tiny kitty in a bed that is big and fluffy and makes him look even tinier. Nashi again laying on his back on a red blanket looking at the camera with his two front paws pointing together.

Yeah!! I’m reminded of Adventure for the Atari 2600 which is sometimes credited as having the first video game Easter egg. The secret in question being the creators names hidden away as credits.

The portcullis is closed once more
A screenshot of the iconic castle gate from Adventure for the Atari 2600. Abstract and blocky, yellow castle walls with a black portcullis.

Can I use “Woke” as an Australian to say that they made Zooper Doopers woke?
The old Zooper Dooper package design. They’re like,, popsicles without a stick, just a little plastic tube you snip the end off. Anyway it has an Awesome space dude in a suit that sorta looks like a Star Wars design brandishing the zooper doopers between his fingers in space. The new sugar free zooper dooper design. Design is much more minimal and more primary colours and less cool. There is an astronaut but it’s the most boring little design you’ve ever seen.

He’s my little guy

He’s my buddy

He’s my small prince

He is Nashi

He looks like he wants to sell you something he’s so silly.
A grey cat with a white chest and white paw folded in front of him as he loafs. He is staring right at the camera, he looks like he is acknowledging the viewer.

Am I crazy or is Emet Selch definitely visually based on Oscar Wilde?

Check out this extra large T-shirt my friend got me from Shinjuku (I’m not plus size but it was all that was left and oversize outfits are cool.) Apple for scale.
Huge blue T-shirt with a big cartoon dog on it with drumsticks and a drum. White flames are at the bottom of the shirt. An apple for scale shows that the shirt is very large.

My Pilot Custom 823 turn of the millennium fountain pen. 14K gold nib and hardware. Writes beautifully. I use it all the time. I’ve filled probably 400 pages with it.

Uncapped photo of the Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen with 14K gold hardware with a translucent amber barrel. The nib is stamped with little flourishes and curls. The nib is solid 14K gold.

2hours ago and then 1 hour ago. Should be the other way around.

It lightly prioritises certain people you follow based on a few criteria.

Besides the point though because Twitter was also like this. Twitter also had a following feed lol.

Can replace the text with so many different kinds of insults.

People gotta internalise this.
3 stick figures in a triangle formation. One is shooting a figurative gun of bodyshaming at figure labeled “guy you don’t like but will never care.” He is holding a shield that reflects the bullet towards “person you care about with the same trait who now knows you think they’re ugly.”

People will see this and go “Hell yeah”

Then they’ll stop and go “Wait a minute graduating classes of universities are 2000s kids now??”

Yall, don’t quote post someone then block them. Your followers can’t see the post you quoted. It just says blocked. There’s no point. No engagement to farm.

Last night I won a program award at RMIT to close out my game design degree :D

I’m so proud and was completely shocked when they called my name out. What an honour!

Thank you to all my peers, lecturers, RMIT staff, and the rest of the Naarm games community that have supported me 💚
Me with my award Picture of the award. It reads “Certificate of excellence: For being an outstanding student. For being attentive, insightful, passionate, helpful, and resourceful throughout their studies. For engaging critically in their practice and for taking risks.”
