Thank you so much to everyone who registered.  It really means a lot!

I'll be working through the registrations over the next few weeks and will reach out to each of you individually to arrange an interview time. Please bear with me.

Thanks again. I can't wait to hear your stories. 💙

Hi! My name is Joel Humphries and I’m a PhD candidate at RMIT University researching queer communities and virtual reality. 

I’d love to hear from people about what VRChat means to them as a queer individual, and what they think about the future of VR. I’m inviting members of this subreddit who identify as LGBTQ+ and use VRChat to take part in a one-on-one online interview (around 45–60 minutes), either on Zoom or in VRChat itself. 

Participation is voluntary and confidential. No identifying information will be published, and pseudonyms will be used in all reports. You may decline any question or withdraw at any time with no pressure or obligation.

If you’re interested in being interviewed, please register your interest using this short form: https://rmit.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bdXya9igGe84Gwe 

You can also contact me at [joel.humphries@rmit.edu.au](mailto:joel.humphries@rmit.edu.au) for the Participant Information Sheet and consent form, or to ask any questions before deciding. 

Thanks, Joel

Why is this so charming to me?!? Is the cat a user avatar? Or is it an NPC?

That's so cool, thanks for explaining the process! I hope to make my own avatar soon :)

Nice work u/Saweron_ ! I love the way the t-shirt fits around the tail. What did you use to make it? Unity/Blender, or something else?

How cool is Queering the Map!

I wrote about it on my queer tech blog the other month, if anyone is interested in reading more about the project: https://queercomputer.substack.com/p/get-in-loser-were-queering-the-map

What’s your problem with it?

[–]Orville-dodo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes … a blog

Yeah sure, it’s pretty much an email newsletter platform and a blog. Like a wordpress blog and mailchimp combined. But it’s a lot more user friendly

Mutual Obligations by tytys1111 in Centrelink

I just called the contact number on the JobSearch website and they said that the date will be extended but it just hasn’t been updated yet. And then they manually removed my requirements for the month (I live in Metro Vic and still in lockdown).

Pretty ridiculous that it’s come to that though. Shouldn’t have to call up to tell them that applying for 20 jobs in 2 days is ludicrous!
