pesto and hummus have been mainstream for over 30 years. please stop being basic about them

i have that phobia where i can't stand looking at cluster of cells, my Mum's scabiosa flowers used to give me an upset feeling, but this has been trumped by the tooth creature in channel zero, every time i remember it i get waves of revulsion.

1 million is a paltry sum when you consider how much marae anchor their communities but also there are people on Twitter enraged about them receiving any $$ at all so the good news is Luxon can never win.

I blame this series of books for feeling affections towards the Ralphs, the only time I have felt sorry for a cat

I have unpoular thoughts on whale strandings and missing trampers.

Time to accept I don't have one mouse called Ralph I have a whole whanau of Ralphs and they are bold I tell you. Bold! I don't like killing things or death and I'm a lot less angry than I used to be but I'm going to have to kill them all.

Lonesome is one of the romantic words.

Every part of me is resisting looking at Luxon's playlist but X just showed me what he looks like in a bikini so same diff I guess.

I know I'm getting old because flies sound like power tools to me now plus I don't really listen to music anymore because I don't want to feel anything.

I've decided to finally put out a book of poems because I suspect the world as we half know it will be over before I finish my novel. lol.

doing surveillance on X on the state of it is no good for my wairua, it's like an urupa, flick yourself with wai when you leave also yesterday i had to tell an arbourist that the tree she was taking down was tapu because i buried a bad feather and a broken heru at its base and she was all g with it

I'm a Leo Horse and if it wasn't for my Pisces Moon I would be the baddest bitch in town. Oh well. Boo hoo.

I watched a reel of someone making a sandwich with lamb AND brie in it so I did the sane thing and blocked them

I'm approaching 2026 with the certainty I am right about everything. Farewell ambivalence tbh

I have reincarnated as a environmentalist on Twitter, wtaf lol. Ikea is a bad as Temu and Shein and I'm not even sorry about it, I mean remember when furniture used to have a personality.
