I wrote what in my opinion is the best and only essay one needs re: JKR’s addiction to anti-trans bullying ... which the BBC has been complicit with. I hope folks will read (and share with your oblivious cis relatives/colleagues/neighbors) etc. lithub.com/burn-harry-b...

Burn Harry Burn: Reckoning With My Harry Potter Fandom as a Trans Person

During the spring of 2020, as the world locked down and people were dead and dying and breaking apart and mourning and afraid and hiding, the British author J.K. Rowling decided to publish an open …

I never know if it’s better or worse when I get a job rejection that’s like “we are not hiring anyone for this role anymore, sorry”, like not just not me but not ANYONE, I guess it’s better because it’s nothing I did but it is pretty disheartening, like maybe sort your shit out before posting a job?

I had at least 4-5 rolls of masking and other tapes rattling around the house when we were moving, but do you think now that I need to label something I brought any of them with me? Absolutely not, there is not a masking tape to be had in the flat

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

(It/its is not great for me because it’s definitely been thrown at me as a fat person, & I do get the ick using it for someone else, but I’ll try if someone insists, however I do draw what I think is a very reasonable line at using vore related pronouns, I’m too asexual for that)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

(The other option was “this one/that one/the one” which…I do not think counts as a pronoun, but I’m really glad the comments reinforced the vibe I was getting that this is a kink thing & you know what, do what you want but I don’t actually have to be involved in that, sorry)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Oh they deleted it before I could post the link but I just saw a reddit post where someone’s partner was like “I’m not going to hang out with this person bc of pronouns” & I was like “ooh this’ll be messy” but yeah turns out the person was insisting people use it/its (:/ but ok) or vey/vem/vore

I just had to book a fire inspection for the apartment & honestly the fact that the latest hour block they had was 10-11am is absurd, I’m sorry you wanted me to be awake to let a man check my smoke detectors at SEVEN AM IN THE MORNING??? I AM UNEMPLOYED, I DON’T KNOW THAT TIME OF MORNING

(My guy’s favourite solution is “are you SURE you don’t know anyone who could hire you” like I haven’t asked literally every person I know bar strangers on the street if they/anyone they know want to hire me, like mate I am OUT of networking contacts, I don’t know many benevolent CEOs, alas)

(This feels like when the home office pseudo threatened to deport me in 2020 when my flight back to Australia got cancelled & I couldn’t book another one, like noooo please don’t yeet me from the country…I definitely haven’t packed all my things up & am not 100% already halfway to the airport)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Also idk what Centrelink is going to do if I’m fulfilling my obligations (looking for jobs) but no one will hire me, like oh no you’re going to forcibly give me a job?? Please don’t, I couldn’t bear to be employed again…no don’t let me skip the interview process & go straight to a boring office job…

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 14/10/2026

Apparently Centrelink is breathing down my employment guy’s neck about getting everyone at least 2 days a week employment & he was like “can you apply for something casual at least” like I haven’t been applying for literally anything for the past 3 years with no luck, buddy you KNOW there’s nothing

I don’t know when this started, but my mum’s side of the family has always called going to the bathroom “going at it”, as in “I’m just going to quickly go at it before we leave”, see also whether it’s “upways” or “downways”, which is gender neutral even though for women it’s always downways

She’s definitely been extremely reticent on the topic so it’s nice we’re finally getting some answers

Ah yes, perhaps the most beloved literary trope of all: the classic McMuffin

A screenshot that reads: Moore throws in a Hitchcock-style McMuffin in the shape of a secret tape recording which will reveal just who has been betraying the gangsters.
The problem is that no-one has a machine on which to play it.

Yeah Curtin does that too at the beginning of the term when we’re doing introduction posts, I had to check recently if I’d changed areas since I moved (not really, it’s still Dharug/Wangal bc that’s most of western Sydney, but I don’t think I’m close enough to the city to say Gadigal anymore)

UGHHHHH the worst thing about this is even if you DO try going on one & it doesn’t work (I have Crohn’s, the first dose triggered the worst flare I’ve had since I went on meds for it) people don’t stop recommending them, they just tell you that you should have stuck with it or you should try again

Thank god WC dropped the absolutely wild copyright claim on the Lindsay Ellis cruise video, I had already added it to my “long video essays to put on while I eat dinner” list & I unforch cannot afford yet another separate streaming service (I pay for 3 different creator owned ones, there’s a limit)

If you find yourself short, may I suggest: taking up pottery, you will have more shallow bowls than you know what to do with, especially if you like me have hands that don’t have the strength to centre more than about 600g of clay

Like no one who worked there used a mobility aid except me & mine is “intermittent walking stick use on bad days” so I get it, but they also hadn’t considered what if someone who is normally able bodied broke an ankle & is on crutches when the building catches fire? What are they going to do then?

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Yeah like I *CAN* walk down many flights of stairs in an emergency, I’ll feel it the next day but if it’s necessary I will, however I’ve had so many conversations with designated fire marshals in workplaces where I’ve said “what do you do if someone is even temporarily disabled” & they were stumped

(I have to go in about half an hour because I volunteered to be the village & do school pick up & I am dreading being outside then but if this is how my body is in summer when I have aircon it’s very manageable & I could almost cry with relief)

020

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

Alright so I complained about moving, but today I just realised it’s 34 degrees outside at 1pm because I looked at my weather app; I DID think “hmm bit warm in here” but the aircon has completely shielded me from the disgusting outside temp, & I don’t have a migraine, so maybe this is fine actually

This is also what they said to my venue management professor (cerebral palsy, used a motorised wheelchair that was a 4 person lift without him in it) when they moved his office from the ground floor to the 6th, he was like “I literally teach a subject on why this isn’t safe, are you pranking me”

The other one with “water views” did in fact have them…& then the real estate agent pointed out the building site between the flat & the river that a company is currently fighting to turn into a 40-50 story building that will completely block the view, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(I DID dye my own hair in there when it didn’t need bleaching, but mostly I was using light peachy pink & pastel purple, so there was little chance of it staining, whereas right now my hair is pretty dark crimson which WILL stain so I’m very nervous about it…is the solution going peach again, fuck)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

(What I’m looking for is the time for several weeks after I dyed my hair blue in London & I didn’t want to make my flatmates any madder at me by dyeing our white bath blue, so for the first few washes I went to the gym I had a swim membership at & just washed my hair there then left, but not a gym)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

(I can already tell someone is going to be like “that’s just going to the hairdresser” but it is NOT, this would be cheaper because I’m not paying for the labour of someone else dyeing my hair, & I can leave it on for 3-4 hrs, as is my wont, also no one would be TOUCHING ME)

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

New business idea: a place that rents out like, a room with a shower & a place to sit to people who live in rental properties but frequently dye their hair & are worried about staining the shower there, BYO dyeing supplies, book it as long as you want to let your dye sit, bring entertainment, boom

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Anyway after four viewings I’m home which is good because I am dripping with sweat, my ankle’s gone & I’m out of awkward small talk for the day, time to lie down under the aircon in silence for the rest of the day

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Ughhhh found a gorgeous place which has two beds AND a study (so 2 + a tiny one) & it’s like…JUST outside my price range, like if I could get a job before they sell it I could probably take out the mortgage for the amount extra it is, but because it’s nice & under $1mil it’ll probably go immediately

110

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I’m cry laughing, I just went to look at a flat & it’s actually pretty nice but it advertised “water views”, which is plausible round here, it’s on the river…I’ve just realised the “water views” are THE POOL IN THE BUILDING NEXT DOOR, not since “open plan bedroom” have I heard such deception

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Haha forgot that after a psych session I always feel a bit like someone has overstimulated every one of my nerves so grocery shopping was like being flayed to death, also I know better than to shop for food while I’m depressed, it’s as bad as doing it hungry except in reverse so you buy nothing

010

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Yeah I feel like unless you get a really good one/have shit for them to say organised in advance it’s way better to just let people who knew them speak, it’s harder on them in a way but better for everyone else

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Update told my dad I was going to the psychologist tomorrow & he was like “why”, & I was like…I am very depressed??? & he was like “but why” & I was like my dude if I could concretely tell you beyond “feel like a useless lump” I would have fixed it by now, that is why I am going to see about it

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

(Sidenote I am both seeing a friend & going back to the psychologist tomorrow, hopefully leaving the house & talking about how useless & hopeless I feel right now will help shake me out of it because the levels of rotting I’m at rn are let’s say…very bad)

I can’t apply for a high level archivist role, because I haven’t finished the qualification for it! I can’t apply for a legal role that requires working in a law firm because I’ve never worked in a law firm despite having a law degree! I can’t get a fucking data entry job bc I’m too “qualified”!!!!!

✨🎃 spooky nat 🎃✨ @okayjokesover.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

The thing is no one will accept the idea of you trying to pivot at a certain point, like I am getting a lot of “this role is very junior for you” & I have to be like yeah bc it’s not exactly what I’ve been doing, but it’s close enough I could learn, & there isn’t anything at a higher level I can do

Yeah see that’s where I’m at, if you’re someone who has multiple weird tattoos it’s kind of not a big deal, after the first few it’s like why not, but a lot of these people seem to be like…normies who would never have gotten a tattoo before this, & thought about it for like a week, & that’s a worry

Everything I see about that fandom makes me think it is a LOT of people who have not been in fandom before & are WAY too invested, & there’s not enough people willing to be like “hey uh here’s some fandom etiquette we passed down through the ages” (or they aren’t willing to listen)
