Job interview tomorrow (for the job I’m already doing)

Anxious yet confident. I know I’m good at what I do…you just never know who you are up against though (especially at the level I’m interviewing for)

If you see this, quote with a title screen that’s iconic to

I could leave this on for hours and just vibe to this intro music

This game was also the reason I chose buying a GameCube over all the other consoles at the time and I have zero regrets!

Just sitting here playing a computer game where I control a character playing a computer game 🤪

When your real life feels like it’s falling apart, time to play someone else’s life instead.

I made a thing ahead of Trans Day of Remembrance!!

Every year I find it more difficult to participate in a day that should be a celebration of living authentically.

So this year I’ll start with a chocolate brownie and see how we go 🤪

A day of Babylon 5 and cross stitch is a day well spent

Started a new journey today with my first ever Lyra class!!

After doing pole for about 18 months I’ve been getting a bit stuck with some of my progression, and lyra is a chance to cross train while having fun (and a sense of success).

Still…extremely shocked I got this on my first go 😳

I started my 30’s miserably pretending to be a man.

Now I’m 40 and having the best time of my life!

In my case it’s a cheesecake ☺️

The job I’m currently doing (in an acting capacity) is finally being advertised.

Time to get my application together.

Slept 10 hours and thank goodness for a day off work.

Still the stress is high, fatigue is off the charts, and my body is screaming at me because I haven’t been to my pole classes for two weeks 🤪

Today is International Women's Day. I want to urge everyone to celebrate and examine the impact that women have in society and our power to effect positive change. A shoutout from me to the great women fighting the good fight - Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum, US Senators Elissa Slotkin...

Just typical…Alfred got us all prepared, spent days ‘edging’ us off the coast, and then just fizzled into nothing

Shit is getting real!!

Trust a male named Alfred to make himself the centre of attention on Imternational Women’s Day 🤪

After travelling for work over the last two days, it’s now time to start preparing ahead of tropical cyclone Alfred that’s about to hit 😬

I think I'm going to start calling my anxiety/depression 'Donald'

Literally have no words at this point
THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US.

This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications.

So apparently 12 hours sleep wasn’t enough last night and I needed to also have an additional nap, and basically do nothing all day on the only ‘weekend’ day I get this week 😕

Getting the duct tape and string to hold me together for the new week about to begin

I barely stepped foot in the office today and everyone comes rushing to me to complain about the all the problems other people are creating.

I really feel like I just need to nope out of today as soon as possible…

Current rewatch of Babylon 5 keeps hitting harder and harder with every episode.

Currently part way through season three and the earth alliance president just issued an executive order to dissolve the senate… 😕

Another Sunday lost where I’m travelling for work ahead of another workshop tomorrow 😢

My body is definitely letting me know about protest after learning a new pole move yesterday 🤪

So much pain, so many bruises…and I still am excited for more 😁
February 15, 2025 at 10:09 PM
Another day presenting workshops to teachers…so of course I had to get coffee from a place called jhambar first 🤪
