Anyone else doing the #kawaiicon movie tonight? Thinking I'll head down after I grab an early dinner

Holy crap @errbufferoverfl.bsky.social, that talk isn't what I expected, but it was so good. #kawaiicon

Werid how off putting i find it someone putting up their X handle as their primary social in the year 2025. How times have changed.

"you may not complete the work, but you are not free to abandon it" - applying tikkun olam concepts from judaism to building a more inclusive world. amazing hopeful talk about improving our world by @ellearmageddon.bsky.social at @kawaiicon.bsky.social #kawaiicon

@ellearmageddon.bsky.social wirh some words of inspiration at #kawaiicon We can change the world, we do it in small steps, making each thing just a little better

It's a grey day, but I'm going to be in a dark room for most of it so the weather doesn't matter so much

Just saw a tuātara on the side of the track, very cool.

@kawaiicon.bsky.social coukd you get the message out to not bring the badges to Zealandia, they have seeds and the staff are concerned. If you or @pepperraccoon.com could get in touch with zelandia they'd appreciate knowing what the seeds are

Prereg sorted! Very pretty badge this year. I've probably missed kakacon, but I might head to Zealandia for a walk anyway

Smells pretty good for a little hole in the wall.

The met service has issued a red Orthanc watch for wellington. All the ingredients for an Orthanc to arrive in Wellington are now in place.

I don't really know what's changed. I don't think it's just getting older. When I was a kid, going down the garden to set of fireworks with Dad on Guy Fawkes was the best thing. But these days, I'm very much "ban the fuckers" It really does feel like they're more intense and go longer.

I keep checking back on this and it fills me with joy to see how many people are getting behind Dr Wiles.

PSA for New Zealand: Remember, remember, the 5th of November Is tomorrow, you arseholes

We set up #SecretSantaAoNZ to spread smiles and fun. We know that times change but our purpose doesn’t. If times are tough — which under this government is NO SURPRISE — please still be a part of this. We have options that you can sign up to & a lot of peeps happy to be Secret Santas! 🎁 🧑‍🎄 🎄🙌

There have been a few questions on how #SecretSantaAoNZ will work with including Mastodon players. So a quick explainer for those that are interested. In short, we're using Bridgy Fed that bridges Mastodon and Bluesky. A little thread on that here:

A quick explainer about Bridgy Fed. This is a bridge that allows people on Mastodon to see, follow and reply to accounts from Bluesky as if they were on Mastodon. Or accounts on Bluesky to see, follow and reply to Mastodon accounts as if they were here.

My first instinct in response to this was to make a self deprecating joke, as is the way of my people. But nah, I am actually pretty good at some stuff. And even when the things I don't like about myself are dominating, I have a code I stick to, and pretty high up that list is not hurting others.

Bring joy to your timeline with this one werid trick! Am I click baiting right? I think I'm click baiting right!

What's all this then.....

It’s Measles Immunisation Week! 🛡️ 📲 Visit info.health.nz/immunisations/immunisation-clinics for pop up clinics near you where you can get your MMR vaccination. You can also check healthpoint.co.nz. Another option is to book online: info.health.nz/bookavaccine

Lol, was not expecting to get one of these

Been feeling a bit exhausted recently and trying to do nothing hasn't been helping. So today I've been trying the opposite, lots of physical stuff rather than taxing brain. I think it's been good, but we'll see.

Nobody knows it, But you've got a secret smile, And you use it only for me

Take what you need: 🫂 A gentle hug 💐 Some kind thoughts 🫶 "You're doing so well" ✨ A long comforting cuddle 💫 A reminder that you're magical and capable 💜 "I love you" 🌟 A kiss on the forehead 🪄 A sprinkling of fairy dust

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts

Bringing back #NZHellHole for this absolutely awful view I'm having to endure while reading my book.

It is done, now posting from my own PDS! Absolutely nothing is different, but the point was that I can. So now I'm posting from my own PDS and nothing has really changed.

Tomatos are staked, I have touched grass and touched soil today. I think that's good for me

How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying you're beautiful too

Me: hmm the hose really isn't shifting this mud Also me: oh right, I have a waterblaster Me: cackles madly

Proof of cat

@bnewbold.net i made a local change to GOAT to preserve extra recovery keys and services when migrating between PDS. Is that something worth PRing?

I've just put the cushions on the outside furniture just incase the cat wanted to sit on them. Just incase you were wondering who's actually in charge around here

This is a fascinating little thread. NZ history is full of so much of this stuff and I remeber it being so glossed over at school. I really need to read some more of Vincent O'Malley's books, I always learn more about the country I call home.

Thread this morning got me thinking, one of the things I really like about Bluesky is the separation of roles. A couple of hundred people use my feeds, I run that cheeply and it enhances the experience of people here. 1/n

I sometimes wonder if the young ones actually believe us when we tell them we used to retweet stuff by copying it and then just adding "RT <handle>:" to the start

Seems like the policy now is basically "if you're not sure you're funded for an MMR booster" info.health.nz/conditions-t... Recon I might just try to get that done on Monday before I head to kawaiicon next weekend

Trying to decide on my costume for tonight. It's a toss up between the classic Wednesday Adams "serial killer, they look just like anyone else" Or "guy too burned out to do a costume" It's a tough call.

It is so heart warming to see all the rewards that were donated by the bluesky community and other's to help Dr Siouxsie Wiles with this. I hope the rest of us can all get behind and support her.

Unusually for me, I have two dinners where I'm just cooking for me. Also unusually I have leftovers in the fridge that I'm using up. I feel like I'm leaning a little hard into the "guy who can't cook for himself" stereotype, but on the other hand, they're leftovers from meals I cooked.

@slyall.bsky.social can't think what "don't spend your time on low probability risks" is making me think of 🤣

Having some left over pulled BBQ chicken tacos for dinner #kai

@hailey.at have you had any problems with accessing authenticated custom feeds using cocoon? I'm getting feed generator rejecting because wrong aud / lxm claim in the token from proxying. Reference PDS seems to have a special case for getFeed.

Is "baseball game long" the "big boat stuck" of the new era?

I know you're fine, but what do I do?

꧁✮..Announcement!..✮꧂ My novel 'HedgeWitch' will be available on e-book & in print this November. Preorders coming soon! Ghosts, romance, found family, magic, and murder. The clock is ticking. Can Trudi break the curse before the ghosts take her life and the lives of those she cares about?

That looks like a bridged fediverse account..... Perhaps a foreshadowing of shenanigans to be announced..... Or perhaps I should be less subtle in my hinting.....
