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!

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
Work in progress cross stitch of a galactic scene, with the episode ‘Grey 17 is missing’ from season 3 of Babylon 5 in the background.

I started my 30’s miserably pretending to be a man. Now I’m 40 and having the best time of my life!

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 I’m in Maryborough, birthplace of PL Travers (author of Mary Poppins), and home to the Cistern Chapel (it’s a public toilet with murals resembling the Sistine Chapel 🤪). Anyways here’s the hotel chair - unfortunately not very comfy, unless that’s what you’re after 😉

Good morning lovely people. Imposter syndrome may be kicking my arse right now but at last I can wfh today so that’s something I guess. Currently searching for a new job to escape a toxic work environment, however the leap is challenging when it feels like nothing you do is good enough 😢

Friend at work brought me in a belated b'day present this morning and folks I was almost in tears at the thoughtfulness behind it (and her accompanying thought process 😂) Little did she realise just how much this meant to me after weeks of feeling lost and adrift.
that's me in my purple glasses holding a huge fucking jar candle labelled 'Vanilla Amber'

Hi folks!! Amber (she/her) here Been a while since I've been around these parts and slowly testing to see if it's somewhere I want to be (largely been avoiding a lot of social media, but as often happens I miss connecting with my trans frens).

Good morning lovely people. It’s Friday and raining so much I had to find alternate routes to work to get around flooded roads. And I’m also rebuilding my confidence bit by bit (even if I have to mask at times) Oh and I’m absolutely loving the curly girl era I seem to have entered ☺️

Just added to my Pole bruises collection 😅 I’m not entirely sure why but they actually make me happy - maybe something to do with how proud I am of myself for trying something new!!
