The enormous old #trans woman you often see around #Carlton, the CBD and all the quality #Melbourne inner suburbs. You can't miss me; I look like the love child of Eleanor Bron and Wilfred Brambell. Stop me and say hi.
Penniless economist and inactive activist. Kindly old maiden aunt to any nice person who wants one.
There's many a good tune played on an old fiddle.

My thoughts moments before: "Gosh this is pleasant! Maybe if Mum comes down for a visit later in the year I could persuade her to…"
Hmm. Maybe not.
Took the bike out for an explore this afternoon. On the way home I managed to do my first cycling faceplant in probably forty years (though I've managed to topple over plenty of times in the intervening period just as a pedestrian).
I've an electrolysis appointment on Tuesday! Fortunately it's just an initial consult, so they only need a test patch, and there's more than enough face I didn't manage to scrape along the Capital City Trail.
Bright side: got a new selfie for my dating profile.
… and like magic, the minute I surrender in despair, all the test email I sent turns up in one hit. Anything, _anything_, to do with networking that looks like it failed is quite likely to have just unpredictably succeeded.
This is why the whole business is so stomach-churningly fraught.
Found myself thinking this morning about Nelson's Chinese Restaurant at the Sawtell Bowlo.
Diaspora cuisine is perfectly legitimate, by the way, so it's not technically a sinful pleasure. It just tastes like it is. And probably from a dietary perspective it is. But it's been a while, so I'm probably due an indulgence.
My goodness, I have to switch off the introspection for a while. Feel like going to the Dickens for the rest of the afternoon and finding a quiet corner to sit and read.
No such luck. Things to do.
The show I did for #3CR's Trans Day of Audibility yesterday (plus all the others in the lineup) is now available for download: https://www.3cr.org.au/tdoa2026.
It features such Fediverse luminaries as @Winter, @miriamrobern, @Dawn, and @kat
Fedizens of long standing may notice a stylistic similarity with a podcast @tregeagle and I used to do about 15 years ago. That's not coincidental. I may have changed a bit in the intervening years, but I've hardly matured at all.
3CR is proud to announce that our fifth iteration of Trans Day of Audibility is returning to the airwaves later this month! Tune in on Tuesday the 31st of March between 10am and 6pm for eight hours of exclusively trans, non binary and gender diverse programming, exploring the best and worst of the transgender experience in the age of reaction.
