Rationale in Absentia

Fuck. My. Life. Or something like that. Prior to this week, which has been oddly okay, the whole preceding month has been hell. Including much of the time I was in Victoria, sadly. I was depressed. I guess I still am, but not as much. Last week it peaked, to the point I was suicidal. [...]

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. The Transgender Day of Remembrance memorialises those who were have died due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as transgender — that is gender-diverse — each was a victim of violence based on bias against transgender people.

Which means they can have the correct gender marked without the requirement of surgery. Passport [...]

So…Humans vs Zombies. Last week from Monday to Friday Murdoch University Guild of Students ran a campus-wide game of Humans vs Zombies. It’s essentially a giant game of tag. Everyone starts out as a Human, and dress something like this; And there’s one Original Zombie, who is also dressed as a human. He starts tagging [...]

It’s been almost a month since I’ve been out of hospital and I’m not really any closer to coming to terms with having bipolar. It isn’t helped my my moods becoming unstable again…   After getting out of psych ward I saw my psychiatrist, and I mentioned that seroquel was making me drowsy, so he [...]
