My favourite trop is enemies to lovers where everyone gets therapy.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

Thanks @maramadavidson.bsky.social and @greens.org.nz for pushing this.

Collègue keeps saying “at the end of the day”… I think I deserve an award for not loudly following up with “we’re another day stronger”

There are *so* *many* other things people can be doing besides watching anything Harry Potter-related. If today is when the trailer lands, I think we should fill our feeds today with good things to watch instead of the HP trailer. Like this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlBY...

@whitehouse-47.bsky.social FYI

When he goes low, go lower. Sweep the leg, and then sweep the other leg, then smush his face in his diaper.

Those that know things… with fuel prices, what is the downside to nz opening oil refinery and producing our own? Or negotiating with Aus? (For government owned venture)

Why?

Methode Timothoise, Pinotgris Chalamet...

You know you’re in Otepoi when … Ice Hockey masters: Hoiho v Old Seals.

Recs for an easy meal near the octagon before ballet tomorrow? With kids so don’t want to deal with vault 21 etc.

Wild Dunedin is kicking off in April and it is a bit cycling themed. 🎉👏 A great opportunity to hop on your bike and explore Wild Dunedin. 🦭

Modern romance books should include “characters did not go to therapy” in their content warnings. Also, more characters should go to therapy.

First time on a motorbike in 15 years. Someone remind me I have kids to pay for. I cannot afford to buy a bike. I do not need a bike. I should stop scrolling bikes for sale.

Have a peaceful evening

Literally, at work this morning: Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B. AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B. Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.

I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.

My child is bitching about the piece she’s playing as part of a chamber group. She composed it.

A year ago I completed this little backpack with a Taaniko insert. I've waited a year for someone to come along to give it to. The right person never showed so I'm going to auction it off. I'll put details up this week sometime

My day has seen me at the ice skating rink, live streaming PWHL with active chat, music exam transport and watching races at the speedway. Feeling very contentedly peopled.

@ninjakitty.bsky.social FIRST time ever out at speedway.

So true! Shout out to my awesome one in Ōtepoti Dunedin. Just off George street. A sustainable hair salon. Our conversations often involve, around liveable cities, a car-free George Street (hell yeah 😂), (local) politics, and the anti-Māori stance of the current government. 🤣👊

If you were elected to parliament how would you fix our media? It seems obviously to contribute to so many of our political problems but idk how to make it better

Celebrities have no place in politics, enough said. [Response] Well pedophiles have no place in office running a country but here we are.

cant.stop.laughing

Seriously … I never thought the constant renaming and reclassification of species would be the bane of my existence, but here we are. Bloody scientists.

Donut dumping? This really is the worst timeline.

In 2020, spiders as a group, received $ 9,306 funding from DOC. That same year, 493 species of spider were found to be "data deficient" meaning that we don't know enough about them to give them an accurate conservation status. Protecting their ecosystems will help spiders but also...

Prescient.

I finally tuned back into RNZ today and suggest you listen to this, especially if you’re wondering about your local water management #nzpol Expert warns of future wastewater failures

current status

I (in AoNZ) couldn’t – but I also started my working life because immigrants hired me, my family was full of immigrants (sorry, we’re white so I mean expats), and generally am happy to leave immigration to the govt. Although if they’re in the Epstein files we should be reversing those decisions.

My child is complaining that I hadn’t introduced her to Green Day. Sheeesh kid! Does she not realise how much amazing music GenX was exposed to. I’ve only had 13 years. I’m getting there.

if the wine mom who tried to burn down a future concentration camp would like to apply for asylum in nz i will marry her for citizenship.

All your girl wants for Valentine's Day is everyone in the Epstein Files prosecuted.

Child the youngest fell asleep watching PWHL game. This was after demanding to watch highlanders v crusaders, then Olympics highlights. Apparently were a sports ball house now.(Yes, I’m mildly confused, but sports are fun so this development is 🤷‍♀️ -and eldest telling me what they’re bench pressing)

Have we updated our immigration policy to automatically reject anyone in the files as participating?

Dear North Island: batten down the hatches for a wet and wild weekend. and if the ground is already wet, it's going to get wetter.

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Stop asking God to smite your evil politicians and billionaires and do it yourselves.

The worlds most deadly ants! (You really need to say it in his voice) Hopefully captions come through.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.
