When I wasn an angsty teen I wrote a lot of terrible poetry.
I've been feeling an itch to revisit it, but poetry feels earnest and vulnerable in a way that writing doesn't.
I can write anything and be like "its for the narrative" but poetry requires terrifying authenticity.

I did my fastest 5k in over a decade yesterday and I’m very impressed with myself 💅
I’m not a speed runner, I’ve never worked on it or aimed for it, I love distance, but it’s really cool to see my training paying off in surprising ways.

I just finished this book and it’s so good. It’s so validating to see myself represented in media. Rural and regional queer millennial stories are important.
I hope this book serves as a reminder to city folk that being queer in the regions isn’t the same as in the cities and it’s still a struggle.

People are not taking the danger that One Nation poses in Australia seriously enough.
We could very quickly live in a world where they’re the shadow cabinet.

Obviously terrifying but also it’s not believable, you want me to believe that one of my relatives would be both interested in what I’m saying and supportive?
I mean if she’s not throwing homophobic slurs at me is she even my grandma?

This is my approach to writing.
There will always be people who don't like what I do, and that's fine. I don't think I'll ever hit literary heights either, and that's not my aim.
What I'm interested in is telling the stories I want to tell, in a way only I can. Someone out there needs that.

You know what I love to see? People doing things they're passionate about. Y'all should take a leaf out of Thomas's book, because this is cool as heck!
Time to announce that I've launched a baking YouTube channel, to share egg-free recipes that don't compromise on texture or taste! 😁
Don't worry- I won't turn this into an endless self-promotion space, but I do want to at least share my very first video. ☺️

Thank you to my bloomfies who bullied me into finally publishing my puppet site.
It's literally just so that I can keep making puppets and then rehome some of them so that I don't fill my house with them.
I'll get better at photographing them but for now I love this site.

I think if someone crocheted an iPhone pocket it would be a million times better than their "3d knitted" mass produced thing.
I'd look so cunty in a custom crocheted pride one.
Wait, is this the impetus I needed to learn crocheting?

I used to love lush but we don’t have one in my town and shipping is expensive
Turns out I can recreate the experience I loved with some epsom salts, essential oils and glitter spray.

Remembrance Day is a good day to think about what we're remembering.
"Political acknowledgment of the frontier wars and their importance to the establishment of the new white federation (on the stolen lands of the violently dispossessed) pitifully lags behind historical and cultural recognition."

This is how lighting should be done 🤤
🤣 i have a lot of smart home stuff from back when i had more disposable income. i use ceiling lights for overall room lighting, i have some accent pendants for ambiance, and lamps sorta provide body to the light in the room.
