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.

TFW you read the term "vibecoded worm" and realise that you are living in the worst dystopian cyberpunk timeline.

It seems like every time I attempt to socialise, within ten minutes it turns into an intense philosophical discussion or a psychotherapy session.

Gosh, I'm a bundle of fun!

Day three of editing approximately four hours of audio down to one. Thinking that stress-testing my self-confidence may have been a bad idea.

After listening to my own voice for a week, I have lost all confidence in my ability to verbally generate a comprehensible word, much less a coherent sentence.

Going into 3CR this afternoon to do Kev's program again, then off to the pub to attempt to socialise for a few hours.

This should be an entertaining disaster.

When you wake up pre-dawn from a dream where all you want to do (in the dream) is sleep, and (having woken up) you decide that you haven't time for more sleep because of all things you need to day today…

That's probably a bad thing, isn't it?

Tired and overwhelmed. Thanks for asking.

But at least, thanks to a shop-cum-art-installation in Sydney's Chinatown, I know who I am.

@kat I've one further little favour to ask. I've been thinking of what music to add to this little project, and I recall sometime last year you posted a video of you playing some old standard. I wondered if you had any recordings to hand of you playing something of this ilk, suited to the tastes of an old fuddy-duddy like myself.

Feeling the absence of somebody to say "Well done. Let's go to bed and have a bit of a cuddle."

It doesn't _have_ to be a cat. A human would do in a pinch. Beggars can't be choosers.

Think I'll go to bed anyway. Night-night, fedifriends.

Had a fantastic day today. There's a part of me that expects the scales to balance out with some bad days shortly, but I shall carry on regardless, assuming more fantastic days to come.

Life is too short to try to be kind to fitted sheets. Just roll 'em up in a ball and get on with your life.
