My Lai by night

It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.

Proud of self. went outside to eat grass. Left mums sight once inside and reproduced stomach contents on carpet. Job done, much satisfaction!

Opinion from Auckland University: A bill passed under urgency that allows the Govt to claw back a wider range of welfare payments from ACC backpay makes a mockery of due process, writes Susan St John.

Lots of people questioning whether the King should visit the United States. I think he definitely should; to recolonise it.

He started purring as soon as harness went on. Yes, I walked into the clothes line lol

His communication is quite clear

He’s been bugging me for the past two hours. He has periods just watching me punctuated by loud complaints for my attention. He wants me to take him outside and it’s non stop harassment. Here’s him in quiet phase.

What she said and also the whole thread.

I’m getting instructions to move the book! No!

Her brother has chewed one of her favourite toys beyond recognition. The other two were lost until I found one of them today. Will have to keep it away from wreck it Ralph

Oh dear lord… I need to dial back on the cats psyllium husk …. 🤮

Imo what is happening on x is that the algorithm loves racist and anti semitic content, and the people who are on there marinate in it all day, and the epstein files has offered an excuse for even left identified people to indulge in the trangressive pleasure of public bigotry as a little treat

Oh geez, they’ve been fed, boy has had a 💩 and now all I can hear is scampering feet through the tunnel and chirpy toys going off as he attacks them.

I mean, this sounds good youtu.be/yCNN0sAL55U?...

Mushroom soup. Brown button mushrooms and some dried oyster mushrooms I got from the market.

There she is

Ok, this mushroom soup won’t make itself apparently 😕 (cat finally moved so no excuse). Plus had visit from work colleagu & now I’m feeling anxious about going back. It’s been nice not having to deal with people’s bad behaviours. Been nice squirrelling away from the world. remember the joys, breathe

As long as I don’t need to move, we are all good

Very hard to read a chonky book with a cat in your lap

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

#nzpol 🇳🇿 you can’t be proud of where healthcare has gone? You can’t be proud of increasing child poverty etc. you know the social determinants of health. What have you done to improve them?!

The treatment of Ukrainian athletes at the Paralympics is getting ridiculous. Ukrainian para-biathlete Oleksandra Kononova received a formal reprimand for wearing earrings saying "Stop War" with the Ukrainian flag at the background.
