Sam Neill in 2021 reading a poem about the place I live, “The Truth About Palmerston North” by Tim Upperton

The algorithm introduced me to my new favorite thing:

Amazing. Reminds me of my favorite public art, just around the corner from me:

My @saplingband.com stickers arrived! ❤️ This may be the kick to finally put the pile of stickers on my roller derby helmet

Reminder that KiwiRPG week starts tomorrow.

The latest from Acadian musician Lisa LeBlanc — content warning for muppet violence?

my cat's always suuuper chill about going to the vets #caturday #cats #cat #comic

Hugh! Loved this conversation! Will have to find a way to watch the movie — and check out Liz’s RPG and other work

'Like the Guardian list, we hope this Southern Hemisphere Fiction 100 will spark both discovery and dissent. Let’s all read more books, from more places, from more writers.' www.anzliterature.com/feature/the-...

happy pride from some stretchy and sleepy cats <3 #caturday #pride #cats

Remember?! The first thing I’d always run when using a Mac in the computer lab was MacBarf, a program that makes a barfing sound when you eject a disk

We got protests coming up tomorrow folks! Get out there and support the right of trans people to exist! It would be a nice thing to do

A thing that sticks with me 30 years after this movie came out, is that a song by The Murmurs plays throughout the trailer but is not actually in the movie anywhere

And Camp Lilac has a table ❤️ Waltham Pride! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We have two roller derby kēmu coming up today! Check out our booklet, we’re also streaming on Twitch thanks to rollerderbystreamingnz twitch.tv/rollerderbys...

No4 in the series, there is an argument that the others were just working up to this queen:

I will have to find an hour to listen to this talk! James @profjrussell.bsky.social is the best, and this looks fun and fascinating. Somehow I didn’t know or had forgotten about the constructed-language-ness of it?

"The Book of A E I O U" by Anno Mitsumasa. A Japanese abecedary (or whatever the syllabic equivalent is).

I have no issue with tagging nudity and sexual content as long as it's a) accurate, and b) not punitive. But this? Imagine going to a museum and all art by artists who ever painted a nude is in a hidden gallery that you don't even know exists unless you go to a secret desk and show your passport.

The apocryphal Oscar Wilde quote, about spending all morning putting in a comma and all afternoon taking it out, is me writing my thesis -- but with a semicolon.

Welcome to #TransTuesday! This week I talk with @nicoleamaines.bsky.social about Dreamer, acting, writing comics, and so much more, in anticipation of the Dream Girls limited series launching next week from DC! (this is a transcript of our live podcast discussion)

The algorithm has me figured out. Would I like to watch documentary footage of the Breeders covering a song from Hedwig? Stop recommending things ... but yes. Yes, I would.

Newfane is a Boston-based rock band. Their new record, All Goodbyes Are Lies, is out now. (newfane.bandcamp.com).

Join us on 6/14 for Waltham Pride at the Common from 12-4. Food Not Bombs will have a booth with free treats & info, plus our regular Sunday serve. I'll be back & forth, as well as helping with security. Come out & celebrate with us! #AllyForLife www.walthampride.org/events/walth...

On this week's episode of TLP, @imarajones.bsky.social sits down for a chat with MN Representative @leighfinke.bsky.social. While she has tried to focus on her policies, her time in office has been full of turmoil due to ICE agents and the danger they pose to her constituents. 🎧 bit.ly/4u6exvw

Spotted on Cuba Street today, Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand.

The first video of our NZ Music Month talks series is up! If you missed it, and you really wanted to *see* @objectivereality.bsky.social chat with Eddie McEwan about the House of Goth, now's your chance! We'll upload more videos as they are completed.

The bot is now open, have fun! Whoever beats Zork first gets to request the next game to be added

I've got a Pathfinder Society scenario coming out in July: store.paizo.com/pathfinder-s...

A friend's kiddo learned to play accordian and, while also preparing for bar mitzvah, recorded an album of songs for Morris dancing, to benefit Doctors Without Borders! Read more on his Bandcamp page: (Listening party happening now)

FB memories reminded me that I once knew that Bree Sharp was in this band ❤️ Ugh, how did I forget, why do I not have any of their albums, and why was I reminded just _after_ Bandcamp Friday? beautifulsmallmachines1.bandcamp.com

My legal identity here is entirely dependent on my passport. I am extremely lucky that it won’t expire for a while, but I dread if it ever gets damaged or lost and I have to apply for a new one.

This is the folk art of my childhood ❤️

Our commemoration in Manawatū is an hour later than in past years: Tuesday 28 April, 1-2pm, at the Workers’ Memorial at Memorial Park, Fitzroy Street entrance

Fascinating read from Dijkstra from 1978 (while ignoring some other annoying stuff in there): www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcr... "when judging the relative merits of programming languages, some still seem to equate "the ease of programming" with the ease of making undetected mistakes."

Happy 10 year anniversary of Inky the octopus’s escape from the National Aquarium of NZ

We didn’t just break ground we laid the foundation for a dream 17 years in the making. It will soon be more than a site; it will be a sanctuary for our TGI family to heal, lead, and thrive. This historic moment belongs to every leader and ally who refused to stop building a world where we are safe.
