Dog park next to creek. How it started...

This year I have: Forced my father into a retirement home against his will. His dementia was bad enough that POA was invoked. Which was me. Watched him decline. Had work stress both due to too much work and not enough work. Had money stress. Been diagnosed with severe adhd.

Just make it illegal to be homeless.

99 nights... My body... Truly the most beautiful suicide (alpha wolf attack)

what. the. hell. maybe help reduce the number of people who don't have a goddamn roof over their heads instead of hiding them away.

im actually almost beginning to enioy the insane self aggrandisement

what if... hear me out... we made uni free AND did the cgt?

tonight matthew, im a deadBeat dad

whenever I have a rough few days mentally, I can't face tiktok for some reason And then this happens

The bar is now "blemish free"

If your dad's name is Murray, he drives for Corporate Cabs, and you're his daughter in her final year at Wairarapa College, he is so goddamn proud of your writing. I heard the synopsis of several of your stories and films and he was beaming. Keep doing.

This is Andrea at her pure best. Phenomenal column. www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

how long can your call volumes be "higher than expected" until it's your fault for not adjusting your expectations?

it's cool that the US has just biffed metaphors out the window and are now just living it

ummm spotify dj x, if you're going to introduce a section with "right now we're going upbeat", i'm not sure that sharon van etten's every time the sun comes up fits that great song tho, so i'll allow it.

hello, I am looking for anyone who has had a ridiculous insurance denial recently, can be anonymous but must be in the US. Pls reply here or email [email protected] x

Tough choice

Back with some scuttlebutt! www.patreon.com/posts/3-per-...

do u ever feel like you're living your own special version of the Book of Job? this year eh. it's been ... challenging.

If labour does run a cgt I hope their comms is prepared. Last time national convinced everyone they owned a bach and Labour was gonna steal it. Make the case better. But we also need to be prepared for the fact it ain't a silver bullet.

Why is the most anxiety inducing part of getting Greta ready for school, making her lunch? And why do I put so much sense of self worth in checking the lunchbox at the end of the day to see how much she ate?

I didn't last long at the Greens, but while I was there I got to have fun working with. @misswhanau.bsky.social

Still furious about this

truly the new zealandiest of news alerts

with the exception of JA and Jones, these names feel like the future of some of the parties in parliament

www.labour.org.nz/news/release... Here are the ideas Labour is trying to convey: National caves to coalition partners, National moving goal posts on climate change policy, our exporters are going to suffer, NZers deserve to see the advice that led to this decision".

I feel like I misunderstood what they meant by back on track

after willis blamed voters for the gdp contraction, luxon now blaming voters for being disinterested in local politics. i am once again asking to have a government that doesn't despise and belittle us.

Let the toast run milky!

It's mental health awareness week and I'd like you all to be aware mine is not good. But I am getting there.

boy that TPU poll is bad for luxo. Nats below 30. Labour can form a govt. Hipkins preferred pm. luxo's unfavourabilities now at -14 (Chippy at -2). if anyone's gonna spull, they should be thinking about moving soon....

I guess this date will now live in infamy

this has been a popular (?) thread. i have channelled it into an angry post. www.patreon.com/posts/is-cru...

best response: "that made me so angry. but finished on a glimmer of hope"

I am dark. I am furious. But still kind enough to let this one be free, so you get a slice of what you get if you sign on. www.patreon.com/posts/is-cru...

PLEASE USE THIS OPTION IF YOU'RE GOING To SIGN UP. I adjusted my prices up a wee bit but didn't realise the price I saw was USD and so now it's way too expensive and I am not worth it. I cannot change this for 31 days.

Mum has helpfully given me a new bio for my patreon page after reading my last rant: "Good Patreon but laced with too much profanities/swearing"

We’ve been repeatedly told that businesses create jobs. So surely we should be penalising businesses for not creating enough jobs.

Actually, humanity—living on a planet that can amply supply the needs of all humans—does owe everyone literal living. Because the only reason anyone in 2025 can’t access the resources needed to live is because people are intentionally keeping them away from them.

Where is greta?!

god help me. this is just cruelty. these are human beings, you monsters.

What the ever loving fuck are they doing to new zealand

Unbelievable cowardice.

This is the weirdest political profile piece I've ever seen. Is he trying to save his leadership or is it a kind of seppuku? www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

lots of people who work in parliament think they're in the West Wing or House of Cards or some shit. And outside folk often think that too. It's not. It's veep. It's this.

is this good? newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/29/p...

We have to assume it's just an edgelord bit right?
