Norrie Norrie hasn't added a story.
I've been on the internet for a while, since 1997, when I made the UltraSex "beyond division" site, sex and gender and transgender deconstructed and danced around, and you may remember me from such High Court cases as the legal recognition that sex is not necessarily binary (NSW BDM Registrar V Norrie, 2014), or you may just have seen my bubblebike's bubbles ;) ... Anyway, I retired from community work a decade ago, and I'm just on the pension, and earlier this year my bike was nicked, so I maxxed out my credit card to buy a new bike (the bubbles must bubble!), and now my Macbook has been stolen, and I can't replace it myself, so I'm asking you for help.
I just popped out to deliver some newspapers yesterday ( I volunteer for the South Sydney Herald), and when i returned about half an hour later, the door was ajar, and my Macbook was missing, unplugged from two wires where it had been charging and getting charged. It took me a couple of hours to access another computer and work out how to find and lock my Macbook, and by then it had travelled from Erskineville to Lalor Park. Luckily nothing else was missing, and my cat didn't run away, and the thief has nothing but a block of inactive wires and plastic. But, I need a Macbook Pro to keep doing what I do, and I can't fund it myself, being already stretched to the max, and I figure if a few hundred people chuck in a few dollars, I can put this burglary behind me, and think instead of your kind generosity on my 55th birthday in a couple of weeks (May 23). :D Come on, can you help a queen out? :D
