So Gender fluidity is weird(in a cool way). After a solid month of being Mr man, a true paragon of masculinity. A flip switches and bamb, break out the makeup and skirts.

Except at work where, for financial reasons, my pronouns remain he/him

So one of the fun things about organising a photography competition is that, as a result of looking up a bunch of items for prizes, my google algorithm thinks I am super into photography all of a sudden and suggests nothing but photography articles.

Happy birthday to what seems to be the last bastion of what the internet could have been and could be again
🎉 It is our birthday!

On this day in 2001, Wikipedia was launched.

Over two decades later, it has become one of the largest and most trusted sources of knowledge on the internet, with 63+ million articles in 300+ languages.

Deleted my Insta today, because of the recent bullshit but also because it was just increasingly shit. No great loss, just brainrot, thirst traps, and AI bots these days.

I would delete Facebook as well but I use it for work, deleted the app at the very least.

The Australian Lamb ad is back for 2025. Every comment about this, including this one, will be ironic

Pro tip for anyone looking to reduce social media time, but aren't sure what to fill it with when sitting on the porcelain throne. Download the @wikipedia.bsky.social app and scroll on that instead.

Today I learnt about an Egyptian Foreman's burial chamber. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Pa...

It's been pretty sad watching the California fires from afar. The firefighters there have regularly travelled here to support our firies in bushfire season. Some even lost their lives during the Black Summer fires in 2020. It's hard yakka, this work, and all involved in saving lives are true heros

Shout out to @wikipedia.bsky.social for being kinda the last bastion of information in this increasingly swirling sea of misinformation and disinformation we find ourselves in.

Go for a deep dive there rather than doom scrolling today!

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false.

New French guidelines show doctors overwhelmingly support gender-affirming care - LGBTQ Nation
The medical guidelines contradict numerous conclusions from the UK's infamous Cass Review.

There, one #Warhammer combat patrol. Just 1500ish points to go before I have an army. And naturally I have come up with a bad (good) idea that necessitates kinda starting from scratch.

I hear it's a pretty common occurrence in this hobby.

We say it every time there's a great Test, but in a world of instant gratification & where substance takes a back seat to sensation, how great is it to still have at least one sport which twists, turns, unfolds gradually & is as gloriously unpredictable as Test cricket! #AUSvIND

People should talk more about what they like and less about what they don't like.

Anxiety is so dumb. What do you mean I have a nightmare and can't sleep because I might be painting a mini wrong?!?

Absolutely ridiculous illness, completely unserious

It's always cool to see incremental progress when improving my skills.

These two photos are from about a month apart, and I am proud of both of them!

Yesterday the Australian Bureau of Statistics released their first estimates of the Australian #LGBT community. This is ahead of the upcoming (2026) census, which will record our population for the first time. There are some very interesting insights so check it out:
