Excellent, housemate is super ill, I swear if it's a different bug to the one I just had and I get sick again I will go insane.
Taking a little break from the funny gummies and as a result had the most vivid and bizarre dreams last night which is unusual for me even sober. No issue drifting off to sleep either!
Funny call from an Amnesty phone chugger today. His words are in inverted commas, mine are not.
"Do you want a copy of the lgbtqia+ ally guide?" Apparently I asked for one somewhere. I don't remember doing so. Ummm, well, I guess maybe I asked for it so I could give it to my mother, she's trying but not the greatest ally. "Do you want to be a great ally to all your lgbtqia+ peers?" Ummm, I'm trans and gay. I'm not sure I need it, but I guess I could be a better ally too. Ok, send it along. Did you know that in 68 countries it's still illegal to be gay. Yes. "Something something, death, capital punishment, homophobia something death, despair pain" Ok, fair. "Now, would you like to pay 30$ a month to help us create change in those countries?" I can't really afford at the moment. I had to leave a transphobic workplace where I was also bullied by queer staff and now earn substantially less money. "Well consistency is more important than the amount, how about $10" No, please stop. I volunteer for a transgender advocacy and peer support organisation who are actively promoting change across Victoria. I'm doing something proactive locally, which is about all I have the capacity for at the moment. "Ok can we just confirm your email address? It's [email protected] correct?" Uh yeah, that'll work but that's my DEAD NAME! "ok DEADNAME, I'll send the ally guide there" I'm feeling definitely good enough today and share and laugh about this, but fucken ell, ally this, death suffering, chugger chugger, deadname, ally that. ok? LMAO

pretty tired, Imma have a nap ๐ด
Ran over some glass on the bike on the way to the shop and there goes the back tyre :(
It's hard rubbish collection down here in Queenscliff atm (everyone does it same day). I would've walked past at least 30-40 bikes being chucked in probably completely fine working order, and there I was walking home.
