It’s a gay thing. My partner and I got hitched in January of 2020 in our favourite park (Edinburgh Gardens in Melbourne) under our favourite tree with our families present and had a big party at a pub with all our friends afterwards. I love being her wife!!! Marriage equality in Australia only passed at the end of 2017 (grim!), so I look forward to telling our future kids that we were star-crossed lovers banned from a union with all the drama it deserves.

I’ve been with my lady for 10 years, married 3 and definitely think I’m better because of it. at first I wasn’t sure about marriage because bullshit institution, blah blah, but I swear something changed in my brain after we got married.

Having a wife is like probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done and will ever do. We are not married but that is my wife. I love when she has a beer and talks to herself. G2g hang out with my wife now.

Yes, it’s 5 hours without an intermission. I saw it in Melbourne in 2013 and went back to see it again in the same run. It’s been over 10 years (wowwie!) and I can’t think of another piece of art that has imprinted on my imagination the way that performance did. I was also eighteen years old and green and wide-eyed! What a time that was.

❣️Ins
Boring meals/leftovers delight (less time fussing over the stove)
Underwire bras
Yuzu-flavoured everything
Jewellery with a history
Dark painted interiors
Bare nails (preferably bitten, shows character)
Self-publishing
Re-reading books you love and ignoring TBR lists
On that note, not reading books you’re “supposed to” have read
Too many coffees (we’ve been playing it too safe, people. Let your heart remind you it exists, like a pitter patter of rain inside your chest.)
🗑️Outs
Kitten heels
Long manicures
Natural deodorant
Linen sheets (cotton percale all day)
Wolf cuts
Pay-in-4 - it’s a money trap, friends. Save your coins! By the time you’ve saved up the $, you might not want it.
Dogs with backpacks (smelling treats but not being able to access them is a special kind of torture)
Carrying everything you need (then you miss out on the beauty of that spontaneous Duane Reade trip where you leave with mint-flavoured toothpicks and a bag of gummies! What were you there for again??)

I have to start off this recommendation with an apology, as for all your Northern Hemisphere-based folks wont be able to find this easily as I stock up when I go home to Australia. BUT, in all my years of hunting for the perfect white t-shirt that hangs just right, I have found my holy grail. Specifically, the Boody men’s crew neck t-shirt (NOT the new “classic” which is mostly viscose, ew), bit the original which is 95% bamboo. I buy them in a Small and they are the perfect oversized t-shirt. Buttery soft, expensive-looking and, most importantly, stay looking fresh after they’ve tumbled about in a washing machine. I’m hoarding a few!
