I guess I panicked over the early results for the city council by-election because I've certainly noticed more conservatism towards me, and the guys said that they were hassled (I reckon that's 'cause it was during a Palestine protest).

My blog is certainly more user-friendly now. However, all my craziness is contained within this, so people can see how mercurial I am if they choose to do a deep dive. I regret deleting my first blog over perceived paranoia, so I'm very much prepared to keep these statements in the public arena. There's a short story from Year 12 that I wrote in the second person that was on my old blog, but I can't find the original file (it was on a hard drive).
