Correctly gendered by The Guardian

I got interviewed by The Guardian yesterday for a bit about Newstart, and I think I didn’t come off as a complete tit? Which is nice. Weird to see a selfie I took in an article.

Quiet progress

My mum made me a patchwork quilt for my 30th birthday. (It was meant to be for my 21st, iirc, but got, uhh, delayed). My middlest sister got one for her 30th. And my youngest sister’s 30th birthday quilt is in the planning phase (Mum has two more years to get it done).

Tonight we were chatting about patchwork – she was watching a tutorial on “disappearing” quilt blocks – and she said, “I’ll have to make you a new boy quilt.”

Considering that although she’s mostly getting my name right, she’s not got my pronouns right once yet this trip, it was actually one of the nicest votes of support she’s given me.
