Using the same amount of power as this time last year but...

This family lived a couple doors down from me. I walked past the car while his wife's body was in the boot. He murdered her and abandoned his toddler alone in a foreign country as he fled. Fuck this guy for the rest of his life.

Who on earth is treating February like it is summer break? (Other than lawyers and politicians)

The difference a year makes.

At the NZFF screening of Prime Minister and these sad sacks are protesting #nzpol #nzff

currently at the trial of Tammy Davis

Tomorrow night, which Auckland bars are playing the ABs game? Parents are asking and I don't know sportsball

I asked Chat GPT to write me an unhinged poem and this is what it wrote. That second verse sent me.

If being a goth rollerblading sausage goblin is your vibe, get out there and be the best goth rollerblading sausage goblin that ever lived, thus sayeth the Lord.

We exist in the same liminal space as someone like Pedro Pascal. Be an adorable hot mess. If he can, you can.

Girls and boys and theys and unsures, keep killing it. You matter, even if no one has told you that today, if ever. I hold space for you, you have got this, even if you don't feel it or believe it. Do something new tomorrow, pursue curiosity, look for the healing place, crawl there if you have to.

Had two over the years, lost to flatting. I’ve since learned never to get that close to a spoon again

I also have a spoon I hate but would never throw away.

Does anyone else have a favourite spoon?

I'm not even drunk or doing a political stabbing and I'm posting on Bluesky. Who is she?

My red flag is that every time I'm at a mall that's playing K'Lee's music I literally record it and sent to it her, and now I'm telling all of you so you know I'm cool because I personally know New Zealand's 90s teen idol pop star. There's no point to this zoot or blottle or whatever we call these.

I regret to inform you I did not win lotto this weekend.

Holy. Hell. I screenshot this myself, just now. It's real.

I'm told this involves asbestos and lithium iron batteries, so that's nice.

I'm writing a novel and one of my friends asked to be written into it. Best decision ever, it's like a cheat code.

We could have had hate speech laws and legal protections for rainbow people but now we get winnie’s fanny police. #nzpol

If you actually wanted to protect women you'd be spending zero energy trying to define us and one thousand energy trying to eradicate intimate partner violence. #nzpol

Good morning from the 09

I just saw Six the musical as part of the Auckland Arts Fest and it was SO GOOD

🚨ONLY 9 HOURS LEFT for submission public consultaton on a proposed rewrite of Arms Act !🚨 If you haven’t submitted yet, I urge you in my personal capacity to do so now. This is an initial consultation—let’s stop it in its tracks before we waste more money and risk more lives. 🧵(1/6)

In Paeroa... who knew it has so many anti-vax signs up?! They still have anti-Jacinda signs up at cash registers. I went to buy a coffee, saw a "we do not discriminate based on vaccine status" and I loudly said to my companion "ew, they're anti-vax, I'm not eating here" and we left. Gross.

You gotta do this one!

I just got an email saying my power bill is going up by about 15% so that's nice.

I also got this titty kitty. Its so joyful.

Also I got this from the Geek out with Pride market at Te Atatu library this weekend. The artist, Lily, made it for a art competition she didn't place at so just wanted it gone, but I ADORE it.

Happy Pride!

I am going to protest Destiny Church and ManUp's protests. You don't come to my local library and fuck up my librarians with your homophobic bullshit. I'm gonna go full Karen. Full white lady having a menopausal hot flush on them. When are they being assholes in public next?

Do you want to build a snowman it doesn't have to be a snowman it can be a snowlady or a snowgenderneutral

Wow u guys are really into politics

Kia Ora Bluesky - Here's my update on what happened to the Curia Market Research complaint that led to David Farrar resigning from the professional polling body after he was told they considered suspending or expelling Curia -- #kiwi #nzpol

He resigned in January 2023, in time for his first court appearance.

We need to talk about how ripped Simon Barnett is.

Prepare for the influx from threads.

Lately, occassionally I've been feeling, like, ants walking on me and I've gone to slap them off and there's been no ants. Weird, but ok. Then today I went to the doctor and she took me through a list of symptoms for perimenopause and GUESS WHAT THE FUCK IS A SYMPTOM.

I was sitting in the newsroom when they came in. My spirit told me to leave so I did.

The full quote via the Guardian explaining Australia’s reasoning for denying Candace Owens a visa, and link below. Their article contains a great deal of detail not reported in the Herald. amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Reading the comments on Ben Shapiro's YouTube video about the healthcare CEO titled "The EVIL Revolutionary Left Cheers Murder!" is so freaking cathartic.

I'm that annoying morning person that turns up to work at 5am to terrorise and punish. Not sorry.

🧵1/3 I bet you didn’t know… Alongside all the advocacy we do at IWCNZ, we’re also busy developing leaders. By mentoring 40 Muslim women in the last 18 months, we’ve helped them grow in their careers and local communities, breaking barriers to reach their goals. #UnbreakableTogether

Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.

Are any of you weirdos still using Twitter / x / nazi watering hole?

I did papers in calculus and algebra as part of a (half-finished) Bachelor of Computing and Mathematical Sciences. I have a Bachelor of Arts. Get you a government that can see the impact and value of both.

I love it blueskyroast.com
