Help me take a stand against blood cancer

This year I’m doing World’s Greatest Shave and finally getting the buzz cut I’ve wanted for a long time. After a year of bush pilgrimages, long walks, and remembering who I am when I’m outside and unobserved, this feels like a small but meaningful act of freedom. There’s a gentle nod here to a certain early-2000s pop culture moment — not rebellion for shock value, but choosing myself without asking permission. Shaving my head means raising money for cancer support and research, and also freeing myself from the daily mats and knots of thick, curly hair. Don’t worry — even with a buzz cut I’ll always be a mermaid at heart. If you’ve got a few dollars spare, it goes to a genuinely good cause. No pressure — but thank you if you do.

All ready for my buzz cut today! ✂️🔥

My colleagues want me to record the actual shave… which I may or may not do. But honestly? What I should have recorded was the preparation.

Had to wash my hair thoroughly. Then came the dreaded blow dry.

I have been carrying on — swearing, cursing the blow dryer, vowing I will never make myself that uncomfortable again. Full sensory overload rage fit energy. My kids are used to my antics (I talk to myself constantly anyway), but it definitely wasn’t appropriate to record given the volume and creativity of the expletives being used.

Transformation content? No.

Unhinged blow-dry villain arc? Yes.

Got my bathers on underneath because first thing I’m doing after this is heading to the beach and jumping off the jetty with a fresh buzz cut.

I don’t usually wear makeup on weekends, but I put some on today because there’ll be photos. And I’m fully leaning into my almost batshit-crazy earrings — the ones I can’t wear to work — which feel perfectly fitting for the occasion.

New hair. Salt water. Zero regrets. 🌊💀🔥

First day of fundraising and nathan lyon cricket

Thursday 5th Feb
I’ve been threatening to shave my head for a long time. Also last year my dad was going through chemo and radiation  and i lost my beautiful aunty to pancreatic cancer. I committed to shaving my hair in a rage in defiance of norms. But on day 1 of fundraising i’ve had so much beautiful support (not from the funky fish aka my family aka it takes one to know one lore). 

Thank you so much for your generous donations. now i feel bad for being a cringe scrooge haha. 

When i see you pall after the shave it will be diffferent and shocking but just know ive been meticulously planning this. It’s for a good cause but also for me.
