It turns out if you don’t take enough time off work, your sinus infection will come back with a vengeance. Who knew? Not RJK jr or me apparently.

I bought nipple covers for the first time today because when you’re at a big queer Mardi Gras after party the most important thing to ensure is no one knows you have nipples. Why did I do that.

A fun game to play is “do I have a low grade fever” or is it because “I live on the surface of the sun and it’s unbearably humid?” Turns out it was both.

My mother’s love language is to never say I love you out loud but does manifest in trying to recommend recipes to nebulously improve my health like baking ricotta bread which to be fair, does sound great.

I almost got hit by a car yesterday because it came flying through an intersection against the red light. Go kick a car in my honour today.

On Valentine’s Day, we love to celebrate colonising bitch James Cook getting murdered to fuck by native Hawaiians for being a colonising bitch and also my beautiful, queer, weirdo friends who have grown up and into themselves. I’m blessed to have you all. Also you’re all really fuckin’ hot. 🖤

The problem with recording meetings in teams is part where my manager tries to get me to recap the actions while I was screen sharing and I tell them their faith in my ability to do four things simultaneously while we’re this short staffed is completely misplaced is now part of the official record.

Signed a new contract to June 2027 because I love suffering and exchanging money for increasingly subpar good and services.

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

You finally get some sleep after an entire week of insomnia and this the feedback you get, wow.

Not a problem I suffer from, oddly enough.

@anagerm.bsky.social has been quizzing me all morning about our health system and apparently I only retain facts that are interesting to me and nothing at a related to my job judging by my performance.

Every day I try to move away from being a double major in history and politics (derogatory) and every day I fail. Just word vomitted a potted history of Latin America and why they are allowed to hate the US off the top of my head.

My dad is building a home sound system (don’t ask) and I told @anagerm.bsky.social and now I am Smiling Politely while I convey technical questions back and forth.

I took two days off work and came back to 35 emails and every time I complain everyone reasonably responds “stop checking your work emails while you’re recovering from surgery?” Rude and unreasonable expectations from all the people who know me.

I had minor surgery and slept for two days straight except now the prelim has swung too far the other way so now it’s 4am and I’m singing Simon and Garfunkel songs quietly to myself so I’ll fall asleep as some sort of defence for melancholy.

[after getting 8 likes on a post about Dracula having sex with Bigfoot] I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable

@anagerm.bsky.social called this outfit business homosexual and you know what? True.

americans, please: do not take the bait by resisting ICE yourselves. just give the democrats $20. they will give it to ICE so they can train more guys

Dog sitting

Say happy Australian birthday to @anagerm.bsky.social. Their birthday is the 11th but I’m too beautiful to figure out “time differences” or “America”

I’m very bad at remembering to drink water but I did remember cut up some oranges and put a kilo of black grapes in the fridge and eat some every time I get up so it does feel like getting through summer in Australia brain progress.

Reassured to know in this era of being deeply stupid, I am doing well by being only regular amounts of stupid.

Taurus: You will live like a king this year. Isolated, paranoid, never sure if anyone’s affections are genuine.

Me the cultural ambassador trying to explain where my mother grew up: “yeah, it’s where the Koh-I-noor is from. Also there are forts and shit.”

Getting really into blazers so I can dress like an ‘80s powerbroker sending you all your allowance to “buy something nice for yourself.”

They’ve released declassified cabinet papers from 20 years ago and now I’m too angry to have a good 2026 or even “go to sleep”

Me: I love my husband @anagerm.bsky.social Also me three seconds later: you are the dumbest person alive. Let’s get married.

Happy (Aus) new year to my precious friends who live in my phone until proved otherwise. I love youse all. 💕

i'm stupid. put me in the ny times.

“Separate the art from the artist” was created to absolve me of all sin when I get really into improv in 2026 and invite you to my show.

2025 accomplishments in no particular order: - applied/interviewed for my job a month after @anagerm.bsky.social’s little sister died. - sat through a six month long restructure - reconnected w @toomanymouths.bsky.social ❤️ - supported too many friends through grief and ideation -still here.

Teaching the classics (introduced my nephew to old school Simpsons episodes)

I boiled and roasted the oyster shells from Christmas to grind up and put on my plants. I’m not sorry to be old and boring.

It’s such a blessing to get older with @anagerm.bsky.social and watch us grow and change even through the most garbage of times.

As Hindu/agnostic who accepts and returns vague seasonal faith based gestures as goodwill gesture I gotta say a lot of this is esoteric and baffling. Thank you and the same to you, I guess.

20 years later I have figured out @anagerm.bsky.social and I are Shawn and Gus from Psych and they won’t stop laughing at me. :(

I should have taken today off, no one is online and I’ve finished all my work. What a maroon.

My response to anything over the next two weeks

Every day I check my outlook and regret learning to read.

I went into get a lexapro script filled given someone I know died by suicide last Thursday and the doctor saw diabetes diagnosis on my file and wanted to talk about my weight. Like I will not be an around to discuss this if you do not hand over that script right now, my guy.

The eternal neurodivergent struggle of “I am not understanding because of my brain or other people just bad at communicating?”

Ahmed the Fruiterer being the everyday hero that saved multiple lives of mostly Jewish people today is the only politics worth a pinch of shit in this act of terrorism

Calling it a night. I can learn fresh horrors in the morning both specific and general by simply going to work.

I realise this is my fault for simply not reaching for the actual thesaurus I own but amirite was just suggested as a synonym by the garbage plagiarist robot that now lives on the Cambridge dictionary website.

Some police officers tried politely smile and nod at me at event tonight but then either realised I was wearing ACAB earrings or was just visibly brown and scowling at them we both returned to our default states: mutual suspicion.

I don’t know how to explain it but I’m right is a thing I just texted @anagerm.bsky.social and it explains a lot about how I live life

The Kamala Harris book is so excruciating

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to
