multiple people asked me if i lost weight today in, like, a complimentary way which is a weird thing to do in general, but i also haven't, I just wore clothes that fit for once lmao

homophobic that this is the best photo my bf took of me presenting my first film festival program launch (we go on sale tomorrow, if you're in sydney come see queer movies!)

not to be all "i work in queer media" but it's very silly that i'm too busy to watch the big gay show everyone's talking about because i'm preparing for a queer film festival. like, part of my job is keeping up with this stuff, and now there's something being zeitgeisty i just don't have the time.

went to the beach that makes you forget to take pics until you're leaving

experiencing heated rivalry as the creators truly intended (overhearing some guy at the nude beach trying to tell his friend what it's about but only half remembering the details)

who would have thought that arts boards across australia slowly being replaced by mostly corporate people with no experience or knowledge about the arts world, who show no genuine investment in the organisations' values, would lead to the erosion of their creative integrity and independence.

a week away from going on sale with my first full-length film festival as the main programmer and i'm quite proud of what we've managed to pull together. 47 features, 88 shorts, 3 retrospectives, 3 talks/panels, a family outdoor screening and a live filmmaker commentary. now let's hope people come.

council worker: are you sure the silhouette is recognisable? graphic designer: of course cw: i'm just worried it's not obvious who they are gd: it says "AC/DC" cw: maybe we should use the photo gd: you wanted bright and colourful cw: and? gd: it's black and white cw: right... wait, i have an idea

magical

person on the train, who just spent five minutes taking selfies on a phone: hey, I haven't had a phone for a year, can anyone tell me what's going on with the war overseas? other person: ...which war? first person: how many wars are there!? second person: it's hard to say, everything's going to shit

a minimum of twenty-five people enter, one person might get the opportunity to stay once they hand over their bank statements and personal data – happy first saturday of sydney rental inspections for the year!

decided the graphic designer's photoshop crashing and losing a bunch of formatting on the day we send something to print is a good omen, actually

convinced one of my parents' cats is a homophobe

planning for an event in february means going on sale in january, which means i'm always chasing people about things between xmas and nye, and i just think that we as a society should delay february a little bit just once to take the pressure off. how about we try slotting it between april and may?

merry xmas! was listening to a countdown of the best christmas songs and this abomination placed number 25, and now you too have to be subjected to the psychic damage of hearing jimmy fallon singing about receiving "a manscaper with a laser" youtu.be/tjAm_B0s0vY?...

perfect way to start the holiday season. gaga plays every musical number at muppet level; covered in fur, massive eyes, unhinged movements and energy. venus is a standout, but benny and the jets/artpop with elton john? applause (both times)? miss piggy's santa baby? iconic. youtu.be/34XQZ-Jj6yY?...

xmas shopping, browsing the markets, wandering around the harbour, sitting in the shade with a drink and a view of the opera house, then capping it off by getting the ferry home – love an excuse to play tourist with @trev93.bsky.social

crew member will be fucking ecstatic in an emergency

loudly sneezing into your bare hand upwards of ten times, producing a tissue to blow your nose then using the very same snotty hand to press the stop button on the bus is diabolical stuff

lady gaga concert was great fun, even in the pouring rain. nothing quite like singing and dancing with 70k people. but the funniest discovery is that when a whole arena tries to sing the 'next to yoo-oo-ou' part of "die with a smile" it sounds like a pained ghost booing cos not one person is in key

thoughts and prayers for all the sydney gays trying to come up with an original take on "she rained on me!" to caption their drenched gaga selfies

we cute @trev93.bsky.social

surfacing from work stressing briefly to see the lady of ga (x2)

keep working late then sleeping even later because i can't turn off my brain quickly enough, if only there was a way to break this cycle without changing my behaviour in any way

i know it's my fault for working on an event that takes place in february, but it's wild to me that some people's work just... stops in december. what do you mean you're not chasing people for answers on nye???

something is not right, something is quite wrong: mentioned "madeline" to french bf and he had no idea what i was talking about. turns out the books are american and even the tv show (which was a french co-production) had zero cultural impact in france. it's their throw a shrimp on the barbie.

been talking to my french bf about shows we watched growing up, and youtube's auto-generated subtitles really give blinky bill a different vibe

bf is HERE everyone can RELAX if anyone so much as jokes about us having to be apart for 6 months ever again i will RIOT

i've been sick which is terrible timing with my work deadlines, but it also means half the time has already flown by because i've slept through most of it 🥺

bf is at the airport waiting to board and in less than 30 hours he'll be heeeeeeeeeeeeere

bf is going to be here in less than five days *and* one of the bureaucratic things holding up his visa situation was finally sorted out, everything is coming up milhouse

since retiring my dad golfs multiple times a week and he still spends his spare time watching golf on tv. the most upsetting thing about being in the room while it's on is discovering there's a type of club called a mini driver and none of the commentators have made a single minnie driver joke.

bf gonna be here in less than two weeks, i'm so excited. it will have been over 6 months since I last saw him. i can't wait 'til we sort out the visa stuff and the long distance is properly behind us.

gonna start a service for men who are worried about hairloss where i assess whether they'd look better just embracing being bald, then i periodically remind them with how much hotter they look without hair. we're losing so many attractive bald men to unnecessary hair plugs, it's time to act.

my review for today so far is "that 8am meeting could have been an email" and "boy, it's kinda hot, hey"

controversial opinion, but after a second person in my life has been diagnosed in as many weeks, i think maybe cancer is bad

they decided to make the back of buzz's head look vaguely phallic here as a continuation of pixar's rampant gay agenda established in lightyear (2022)

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

doing a photoshoot of jonathan bailey for sexiest man alive and only including one photo where he's smiling is negligence of duty, and it's time for a coup to reclaim people magazine as the people's people.

i just don't think power saws are ever necessary at 8am on a saturday

said goodbye to someone and we both went for a half hug and cheek kiss but went the opposite directions so ended up just awkwardly pressing faces together, going to think about it til I die

i know some people are bad at categorising films by genre, but i just got a message from someone asking if i'd heard of a "romcom" their friend recommended, and i'm side-eyeing whoever described a cringe comedy about a 14 year-old who has a(n unrequited) crush on a 25 year-old as a romcom.

i think more holidays should be co-opted into being an excuse for people to dip their toe into doing drag or being a furry

good turnout! got to speak to a number of people about how it mirrored their personal experiences, and to those whose eyes were opened to something they knew nothing about. getting to discuss movies and the way they tap into such personal feelings really is one of the best parts of the job.

If you're in Sydney, don't miss this free Intersex Awareness Day screening of a vital, must-see documentary that's both a celebration of community and call to arms in the ongoing fight for bodily autonomy for intersex people everywhere. 3PM at Event George St: queerscreen.org.au/sessions/the...

nothing says a stable climate like random 38°c days in the middle of spring

been sick all week and no signs of improvement. wasn't able to get an appointment with my regular gp so went to a walk in clinic. told him my concerns over sleeping constantly due to body aches and fatigue. he checked my temperature, throat and blood pressure (all fine) and declared "sleep is good!"

taking a break from emptying the moving truck to do a zoom meeting I couldn't skip – love to turn up red faced, sweaty and out of breath to the function.

hot take: packing and moving is bad

posting that you've been up all night praying for your famous sister because she's "a little under the weather" is a great bit, more siblings of famous people should do it
