Noticing an uptick in anti-trans rhetoric on the state (QLD), and to a lesser extent federal, level. Concerned, yes. But more exhausted at the thought of it. Could you NOT force me into activism by criminalising my existence? I got shit to do, I'm too busy.

Would you rather fight one bear-sized twink, or ten twink-sized bears?

To @cratesmith.bsky.social: "Babe, would you still love me if I was a giant software company that controlled way more than ethically reasonable?"

Me at 9am: "I finally have some free time this Sunday to fix the sticky middle C key. Hopefully I can knock this out in a good few hours. Me at 1am the next day: [image attached]

Doing some assignments with @siobhanmakes.bsky.social and she captured the exact moment during a stupid, funny goof that I had a brilliant idea for ANOTHER stupid, funny goof.

Another storm, another instant set of 4 happy cloud photos!

Been a good day for clouds. It usually takes me a few weeks to get 4 I think are worth sharing, but the storm delivered today!

I thought long and hard about how I could succinctly explain the story of what's going on here, but I just can't.

"DOING STUPID SHIT IS MY LOVE LANGUAGE" I shout, clambering over to my friend, who is suggesting doing stupid shit as a joke.

In New Zealand, we (@cratesmith.bsky.social and I) were competing to see who could get the most compliments on each day's outfit. I only got more one day, and definitely lost overall. 😭

The fuckin looks I got today walking though the suburbs while carrying a folding stool strapped to a guitar-hero controller looking for a wall to jump off in the least amount of clothing I've ever been outside in. #animation

Been away a while. Holiday in NZ, then came back and maybe I'm someone's boyfriend now? And now I have two days to do this assignment that I haven't started. I'm so tired I keep on trying to raise my eyebrows to pull my eyelids open but it's not working. 😭 Oh well, time to record anim ref.

I've stopped being poly for cafes and settled down with one I think has good vibes, and most importantly, good coffee. If you're in Taringa, "Aunty Paul's" is a very cool spot and is now my regular! The owner saw me unwrapping presents and gave me a card, a little gift, and a voucher, the bastard.

I know this isn't the most important bit, but... He HAS to know how orange he looks, right? Or is it some kind of "emperor's new clothes" sort of situation?

I FOUND SOMETHING: I found a 3XL shirt at an op shop: "How big is 3XL? Can I do something there?" Realised that it's VERY LARGE and looked ridiculous. I thought, "this won't do anything, but what if I tuck it into my pants..." And behold! (I've stopped trying face expressions in these.) #altfashion

Summer is coming and I only really had completely casual hippie-and-thongs. I found these shoes at an op shop and I'm trying to figure out what I own to go with them. #altfashion

There's a lot going on in the world right now and I really only really about my immediate experiences + mundane clouds etc. I honestly think about aus/geopolitics a lot, but I don't have thoughts I can communicate in 300 characters. 😭

... Oh. That wasn't my nighttime, drowsy antidepressant. That was my morning, stimulant vyvanse. 🫠 I think I might be for an interesting night.

Anyone else ever put an unreasonable amount of thought into the hypothetical situation of explaining to asexually reproducing aliens how human culture revolves around love and sex? Yeah, yeah, of course not, me neither... >.>

I found amazing socks and went through my wardrobe with a fine-toothed comb to find what I think might be the only clothes I have that work with them. High-rise socks seem like a risky play, but I think I pulled it off.

You ever been utterly convinced that a three-day-odd task is definitely the best use of your time, but when you're 85% through it you begin to doubt that? You've come too far, though. You can't quit now. So you keep doing it, willing the end to arrive so you can escape the limbo of your own making.

I faced an internal struggle for many years during the early 2000s that this was the best OC design of all time, but also I conveniently "couldn't find the right place" for it. #art

I... Think I'm seriously looking at the option of buying a new desk. Those who know understand what a revolutionary statement this is.

I've wanted to post a bit about #mentalhealth stuff and my experience with #borderline (aka #bpd): People are surprised I have it, and it took until I was 34 for a psychologist seeing me long term to realise. I don't slam doors, threaten people, or present as a "typical" borderline case. (1/8)

Dang I'm not gonna lie, my fashion has been on point lately. ⚜️ #altfashiom

I went to a hand crafted market (I'm very tired) and 5 people complimented me on my shirt. I made the right choice.

I have a rule: I only buy one thing a month (to avoid having no money), and I idly wandered into a shop from the interesting window stock, and... Holy crap it was a good little shop. Such a kind owner, and flipping fantastic clothes. If you're in the CBD, check it out! (Yes, I bought the shirt.)

Been meaning to do this for yonks. I've been using old fabric to cover notebooks for many years, and I had a brain-blast when it came to my laptop. 👀

Watched the 4Corners about sovereign citizens: As someone who has experienced delusional psychosis, the thought patterns of these renegades was EXTREMELY familiar. Me giving serious legitimacy to my ideas of taking over a university, or controling Auspost, mirror their approach to law. Fascinating.

The best nail set yet. I love this place, they always meet my requirements exactly. Short nails for piano, PLUS, they worked miracles the first time I saw them when I had mere millimetre of nail on some fingers.

I don't think Indian culture has much exposure to the name "Atticus", but I always enjoy seeing the attempts.

Keenly aware that I follow few enough people to be responding to almost every post by some people. I'm not a stalker, I swear. 😭 Some of youse are just that interesting.

[[THREAD🧵: important context follows]] Does anyone have any thoughts on how to broach JK Rowling/Harry Potter with a parent? Their daughter (10) is a MASSIVE fan. I get it: she doesn't fit in and has found comfort in the stories, but it's problematic for many reasons.

There are times when watching movies, I'll say "that actor's not American, they're faking the accent". "Oh? You can hear mistakes?" They'll ask. "Nah, mouth's too small." "..." "Americans have bigger mouths, her mouth's too tiny." Looking it up, I've always been right.

Still taking photos of cool clouds I see that make me happy. Mild #arachnophobia warning for one photo!

Got some display cases for my #playingcards, so I can admire my favourites. Will cycle them when the mood strikes, I guess. Photos only of my very favourite decks, I have... A lot 👀 of playing cards.

Dang, portfolio day today! I don't think that'll be something I ever do again. 🤔 I'm over the level of stress trying to share my entire body of work in a single post and receive engagement on caused me. Still a cool idea and hope it goes well for everyone, though.

I'm still not ready to do #art outside of assignments, but one idea is ALMOST tempting me, and might be the first drawing I do: I have a freakishly good memory of childhood, even back to before I recognised I was a human. I distinctly remember thinking I was a kind of homunculus with huge eyes...

DAMN. I'd been forgetting to add people to the lists I made and was wondering why some otherwise talkative people I knew were silent. :') Remedied now, shout your opinions at me!

Sometimes I think "I'm not that autistic..." and then do the most autistic autism to ever autism.

I'm conflicted about kids social media. I wouldn't have had a career in art if I didn't have access to art forums + early deviantart community. What if a kid's into a niche hobby that has career potential? And what if, like me, they were bullied irl and found a community online? (Cont...) #auspol

Once again getting more adventurous with acrylics. They're very short so I can keep playing piano, also avoid them catching on things and popping off after a lifetime of navigating the world with no nails. #altfashion

I spend entirely too much brain power calculating how best to word things to a genie to get myself back in time WITHOUT ending up suffocating in space, Earth having been in a different position to what it is now.

Big step in #art recovery: I bought the best paper I've ever used in anticipation of drawing more. It was my white whale for a bit. I'd go into paper shops and ask for high quality cotton rag, and they'd try and sell me on some cheapo cellulose shit. So keen to use this again.

Mum asked me to play #piano at her art exhibition opening. Tried to pair songs with the artwork (a lot of "Beyond the Sea", "Come Fly With Me" stuff). There's a Ballmer peak with amount of audience attention. I play better than ever with people around, but someone records and I immediately fuck up.

Eons ago I was working on a #Batman deck of playing cards. I think I worked on it for as long as I did because I liked how the Batman spade suit turned out... Putting so much energy into someone else's IP soured it a bit, as well as growing out of my "Batman phase". So only on the wall, now. #art

Fuuuuck my new nails are cool. Very short so I can still play piano and catch them on things (I'm used to navigating the world nail-less). I like how I started with matte black and slowly getting more adventurous. I'll have stilettos I guess before too long, haha.

I have a secret on my glasses that very few people notice, but they're overjoyed when they do.

Ohh #altfashion is where people are posting cool shit. @cratesmith.bsky.social bought me the earrings I wanted, as I'm getting into single BIG earrings. Had to go home and make an outfit for it. I really want to lean into "masc cottagecore".

Outfit 2 based on pins I don't get an excuse to wear enough. We're COVID free, so @cratesmith.bsky.social and I can try and new cafe today! #fashion
