Gosh. What a cutie. 🤭

A view of the tropical foliage in the Barbican Conservatory. It’s a delightful juxtaposition of green and brutalist concrete and glass.

The Conservatory at The Barbican. I’m here for Sate of the Browser.

I'm open for work again! I'm looking for interesting opportunities; want to work with me?

My experience includes web archiving and digital preservation, devops, and internal developer tooling. I'd love to put that experience to work for you and your team.

Qubyte Codes - What happened to 2025? A post about what I did in 2025.

New article published! Qubyte Codes - What happened to 2025? #Personal

A photograph of me sitting in The Basketmakers Arms in Brighton. I’m wearing a subdued floarl corduroy shirt, a fused glass amulet, and a black button up dress over the top. I’m also wearing cat-eye shaped glasses and a black yoga band.

I forgot to post for the 1 year anniversary of being on HRT (end of January)! Have a photo of me looking a bit tired in a pub last Thursday.

Plus I didn't leave the country this year because I was getting my passport updated, and also I was too preoccupied with side projects. I did learn Java though (after trying not to for years).

maybe it’d be about the surprising joy of being fully myself. Because it’s not like the aforementioned cowards and the genital obsessed made the slightest dent in my progress.

I’d do a year in review but it'd be mostly about trans stuff and all the people (the supreme court, the government, rich authors, etc.) who can fuck off.

Or...

Finally got my year end 2025 thing out. I've got to reread it, it was written in spits and spats over the last week or so. Still, for your pleasure: remysharp.com/2025/12/31/m...

A photograph of a flat white in a matte black cup, on a black saucer, on a black wooden table. My gloves are on the table to the left of the coffee. My right hand, with long plum colour nails is resting on the rim of the saucer to the right.

Cold day! Fortunately, a short walk from dropping the kid off at school is Casco, one of my favourite cafes. It’s warm in here.

(Sorry, forgot to shout this one out)

I had a 2010 MacBook Air in a cupboard in my office. I was still using it up until a couple of years ago, and the hardware is still good. My kid needs a machine for homework, so I put Linux on it and it actually feels fast again. He loves it!

A photo of the back room at Taith Coffee. Lots of brown tones. Wooden tables and wicker chairs. The room is dominated by the bar at the back with huge bifold windows that are open to an incredible view of the South Downs.

I’m at Taith Coffee in Lewes. Incredible vibes here.

A picture of me sitting in an office chair next to a window. My eyes are wide but I’m otherwise expressionless. I’m wearing glasses, a black baseball cap, and a grey tank top.

Post-migraine Aura

The dimly lit interior of Presuming Ed’s cafe on London Road, Brighton. A pair of mannequin legs props up a table. Another mannequin is adorned with stickers and a trans pride 2024 t-shirt.

Nipped into Presuming Ed’s for a coffee while I wait for the Pride parade.

A person just ahead of me in the Trans Pride March waving the flag (blue pink white pink blue). Brighton Pavilion is below and behind it.

Trans Pride Brighton was beautiful.

A close up photograph of a scarlet tiger moth on an uneven grey path. Its wings are closed. Its wings are iridescent black with yellow spots toward the front and white spots toward the back. A red spot can be seen between the wings where they meet at the back.

A scarlet tiger moth.

If anyone knows any students at the University of Sussex please tell them to get in contact with me ASAP

Thank you.

Reminder:

If you support Harry Potter in any way, you are directly funding legal attacks on trans people.

There is no separating the art from the artist in this case.

Another day, another email to my spineless MP.

A selfie of me at the pub. I’m drinking a pint of beer. The nails on my hand holding the beer are painted deep blue. I’m wearing glasses, behind which I’m wearing subtle black eyeliner with a small flick. My hair is pulled back in a black hairband, and I’m wearing a denim jacket. The photo is close enough that part of my face is out of shot. Behind be is a blackboard with various events advertised.

Today I celebrate four months on HRT.

I have a few things from Nora, and I love them all! You’ll often see me wearing my trans pride one. Here’s a recent pic of me which looks like I have attitude (but actually I had something in my teeth I think…)

Request for info:

If you know of any organisation etc. which has announced publicly that it has changed its policies/practices as a result of the Supreme Court decision or the EHRC update - please comment it below.

Trying to collate some of this.

I don’t really talk about being trans much on this account. I have an alt where I talk about it a lot more.

It’s a big part of who I am though. I might be more open here. I also feel like I should put something on my blog about coming out and transitioning, but it’s a lot, especially right now.

I got my ears pierced. Just the lobes (my first piercings, very vanilla). The technician described the pain as “spicy”. Then she described the other ear as “spicier”. Apparently it’s an adrenaline thing. Anyway, a minor victory in an otherwise fucking appalling week but I’m still chalking it up.

Is it this one lol

lovely wordpress site they've got there. be a shame if something happened to it.

Fuck the EHRC

Shit, missed an obvious cookies joke.
