2025: Big stwong bois be scared of cwazy science words.

Dear people of the big Bisky, quick way round do i plant this? I was given it but am puzzled re what's the up and down bits

Oh nice, Reddit vs Germans wanting to move here because it's such a "nice white country". 🙄

I haven't taken photos of them yet, but I've easily made something like 15 different new styles of earrings. My fingertips are a bit sore!

My lovely team of my manufacturer just sent through pics of my latest order. Love that they do that, it makes me feel like they're in Avondale. They're not, they're in Changzhou.

NZ Post: We couldn't deliver your parcel - far pick it up in South Auckland! No, thank you. We were all home, and CCTV showed no attemped delivery, dicks.

More Gaza fundraising crafts!

More earrings sold to fundraise! Thanks, B, this is in your name!

Got an armful of silverbeet and spinach from the garden to make some sort of spinach feta scroll, with young garlic, too.

I suppose we can hopefully have a good look at Saturn tonight to make up for everything.

Woke O to show her the weather, not to be sad - even in Dunedin, seeing the solar eclipse isn't a given. She was happy I showed her instead of mad that I didn't let her sleep in. PHEW! (Personally, I had woken up from a nightmare in which someone chopped off their own foot, which was the worst)

So, what dunce set up a fucking Chucky K memorial on Aotea Square? As a woman, and non racist or bigot, I'm disgusted.

Chatting with a concert goer "You seem like you're a good worker!" "I sure try!" "You seem like you'd ace spreadsheets, too" "Mate, don't know how you know but i really do." "Why are you working here?!" "Because it's fun and i need to feed the family. Are you offering new a job?"

Seeing the weather will be shite, do we know of there's a live stream of the solar eclipse on Monday? If anyone knows, I feel you might.

Just got home. Worked nearly 16h until now. When there's work, take the work. T'was good, new job, got praised, and i didn't even do anything special, i felt. I was just doing me stuff.

Don't think i would have made it through the day this unscathed had it not been for the lovely @eloquentsonia.bsky.social who dropped off some antihistamines to me before heading in to work herself. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Reactive skin days are THE worst! ⛈️

"Is this whEre the play is?" "To work on the play, or to watch it?" "See it?" "Wrong door, this is the stage door, as it says on the outside. Once you get back outside, turn left, and you'll end up where you can see the play." x 1,000,000

If you ask "Is this event rainbow friendly" and there's no resounding, "Yes, of course it is!" - then it's not rainbow friendly.

I have a lot of love for the good Mr Bret Mackenzie, but a critic just compared him to Harry Nilsson and I'm like... how?! How is he like Harry Nilsson? I don't hear it.

Lightsabre tournament is ON - better see you there, nerds! ❤️ www.facebook.com/events/11287...

Before work, I dropped off our votes into a letterbox. Kind of not super trusting of cardbord boxes in public places, so NZ Post it is. Seconds after dropping our envelopes into the box, the fuckwit mayor I definitely didn't vote for cycled past. Bad human.

The money for some fundraising earrings I sold just came through. I rounded up to the next largest number after fees, then donated it to Doctors Without Borders. I post receipts publicly, so people know I'm not keeping the money, not to virtue signal. Don't give a hoot about virtue signalling.

With #BOTY Bird Of The Year, I always go for some ugly old underdog seabird. We underrate seabirds, assume there are tons of them even if they're endangered. They're just not that cute, they're pushy and loud, shriek instead of sing - but they've got their place, and some dance beautifully!

Not happy - reactive skin sort of day, forgot my antihistamine at home, and have to wear a wig that currently irritates the shit out of my scalp. Wah, only 6 more hours of being stuck at work?

I'ma do some plant spam. Sorry, not sorry. Kumquat, orchid, tulip, daffodil!

My instagram tells me i had nearly 15k visitors over 2 weeks. Well. I editor be happy but that didn't do much, ha! Socials are all hype, no help.

Apparently Antifa are now classed as terrorists, and I'm like, omg, what a twisted world we live in! We used to ask Antifa to be peacekeepers/security at a festival I used to work at. Sweetest, humanity-loving, colourful sorts. Not terrorists. People who care about others, inclusion, tolerance.

Initiated new order of attenuators to me manufactured, trimmed my blackberry vine and did some weeding around my succulents. My orchids smell so beautiful and intense, surely anyone walking past our fence will go, ooo, those smell divine!

So what's the trick to get the ADHB to respond to emails about appointments, or to give you any old response after phonecalls to the number given out for rescheduling appointments, and them NEVER getting back to you. Neither via email, nor via phone.

Not the greatest of looks for a regime to take regime-opposed comedians off-air, hey, USA? Next on the bingo cards is people mysteriously disappearing, innit? #freespeech #yay

You MUST come! Light sabre tournament? YES!

That one time, when I was in a legit TV doco with mighty cool people. pocomoto.co.nz/2024/09/radi...

Me: Hey O, please don't step on the plant that's soaking there! O, steps on plant within 2 seconds.

I asked W who I thinks I would most like to meet of all celebs at Armageddon, and my pick was his last guess of them all. It's Alan f'ing Tudyk. He's the man!

I love offering pick ups for my stuff, mostly because you get to say hi in person and get to have a chat, and maybe some feedback on the things you sell. But also, me in lounge clothes must be a hilarious sight. I'm very much a comfort clothes owner and wearer on days without outside work.

In happy news, in spite of withdrawals, I've just reached 10% gain for my shares. Feeling pretty good about it, i try to be smart about it and ethical. I currently only invest in local companies that don't cause harm.

Got a skin flare up of sorts and my antihistamines haven't kicked in yet. Feels like ten thousand needles right now, like fire ants, like a million small bites - couldn't make that shit up. Can't scratch - makes it worse! Brave face for now, antihistamines will start working soon. Wah.

Gave the blind kitty a handful of catnip (fresh) and she's just going to town on it. Love that girl.

How do they let some people pass music degrees? Sorry, but if you can't hear that you're that pitchy, someone let you pass out of reasons beyond talent, and I don't get it. Those degrees aren't about excelling academically, I sort of do expect people to have minimum musical tightness.

Maybe I met some new IRL friends today and that's really lovely because how often do you go, ooo, wow, we've got actual stuff in common, other than crafty nerdiness or marine stuff, y'know. In events, women mostly seem to elbow each other around. I hate that. :( These people seem nice, though!

Ooo yay, more picking and packing! Just packed a few pairs of attenuators to go to Tauranga. I do give a nice discount on attenuators if you buy them for the whole family, and even more discount if you buy them for the whole scout troop.

Yay, fundraising earrings sold!!! <3 Packed and ready to be picked up tomorrow. Thank you so much, K!

I studied art history for 3.5 years all up. It's actually a wonderful subject that overlaps a ton of other fields and requires a fantastic general knowledge, basically renaissance person styles, to be good at it. Cutting it means you're really a stupid.

@thespinoff.bsky.social Hey Team! Just FYI, it's not Debbie, but Dianne! Would mean a lot of you could fix, please, she's good people. thespinoff.co.nz/pop-culture/...

It's good people watching here. Just had a couple of super smiley identical twins walk past, maybe 18 years old, chatting like peas in a pod. Happy vibes.

Urgh, crying at work. Too soft. Big smile. No one will know.

I had no idea, and now I'm like actually really quite moved to see my name there. ♥️ 😭

You wouldn't believe how noisy it is around here before anyone arrives. Set up teams, house keeping, handymen... I'm in the very spot where i caught Covid at the Nile Rodgers gig.

Oh dear, they've cracked. My FB feed sees people talk about martyrdom, about crusades and how "the war is ON". Kiwis, mind you. I feel an atheist's need to say that peace is good. No one deserves physical punishment over having an opinion. If you hate, that's a you problem. ♥️
