Hello new followers! Thanks for the follows!

Some of you may know me already, but just in case you don't, you would have seen me around the internet a bunch, hanging out in a bunch of different communities but mainly Nerdfighteria and Back Pocket.

More from me can be found here >> rith.id.au

Just as a heads up, I'm aware of a new Hank thing but won't be able to update the site for a while as I'm travelling today! If my Shinkansen has good enough wifi, I'll try to do it then.

Had an incredible time at #PAXAus this past weekend!

My absolute favourite part of PAX each year is constantly running into people I know. Including catching up with old friends, and making new ones! And it was no different this year.

Thank to everyone who made the whole weekend special!

Perth Glory (men): two wooden spoons in a row, knocked out of Cup early (w/ a 9-0 pre-season loss)
Liverpool (men): three consecutive losses
Liverpool (women): four consecutive losses
AFC Wimbledon: five consecutive.. WINS

Who would've thought the Dons would be the only team giving me any joy atm 😅

I had posted this on the bird site back in March 2022 but for posterity I'm posting it here now for reasons..

Anyway, throwback to when I was interviewed on the news in Perth and took the chance to rep LFC hehe.

It was over Zoom as I had already moved to Melbourne at that point.

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Brenna Lee Mulligan for ABC Gamer and only freaked out once be proud of me. And also give the interview a look! That last part is the important part 💖

Just watched the Socceroos play NZ and loved hearing the interview with the goalscorer Max Balard afterwards; his parents are French and you can occasionally hear it in his Aussie accent 😂

Big day for ticket purchases.

Just secured tickets this morning to the Women's Asian Cup opener (Matildas vs Philippines), along with the Final in March next year.

And tickets to Brennan Lee Mulligan's Endless Dungeon (next month) goes on sale in a few minutes!

If anyone happens across a presale code/link to Brennan Lee Mulligan's Melbourne show next month I'll be greatly appreciative if you shared it with me 🙏🏽

This song was a favourite of mine as a kid, for obvious reasons.

It remains one of the most Aussie songs of all time, and I believe it will continue to be.
And it is a wholly appropriate response to the disgusting, racist, anti-immigration rally yesterday.

FFS. My favourite band has just announced an appearance at a festival in November in Yokohama, but only on the second day, THE DAY THAT I LEAVE JAPAN.

The universe is conspiring against me 😭
I'm already missing their tour at the start of my Japan trip by literally two days!

Sigh.

For some reason my Instagram feed is convinced I'm living in Tasmania, and so I'm getting a bunch of state election ads recently.

I haven't been to Tasmania in years!
