I love these so much - I really want to explore our streets in detail, to know what houses remain, what extant buildings were used for, discover interesting details.... In this image, I thought it was fun to see there's a windmill off Symonds Street, and seeing the Grafton Bridge nearby.

wompwomp didn't get the library job. not even an interview or conversation 🤷🏻

I think maybe sometimes companies don't need to send emails every day.

Bursting with outrage at what British imperialism inflicted on the Māori people, MARAMA is an anticolonial spin on a classic Gothic tale. Taratoa Stappard's feature debut had its world premiere at #TIFF50, and here's my review for The Film Experience: thefilmexperience.net/blog/2025/9/...

There's an ad on TV for a L'Oréal Paris product, and they have dubbed over GILLIAN ANDERSON with a British voice. GILLIAN FUCKING ANDERSON. Did they think we wouldn't be able to understand her, maybe?

Omfg our stupid government wanted to "pay tribute" to this random overseas git, despite having absolutely no ties to us, or our government. Luckily those in the House with brains blocked it. No more news for me. I can't wait for this epoch to end.

Too much news and attention to this one person, and not enough on more important matters - such as genocide and our governments not doing enough (among other issues).

I dread to think what other people are paying for electricity. I got an email to check we're on the right energy profile. Low Energy User (what we are currently on) is if you use <8,000kWh/annum, and Standard Energy User is >8,000kWh/a. Between Feb and August, we used 1,539kWh....

I’m hyperventilating. Our country could actually be this iconic if useless white men weren’t running it.

I have Jury Duty in a couple of weeks... I am not so nervous about the duty itself, but having to get there. The reimburse public transport or parking, but taxis are for special consideration only. So I've had to purchase a new HOP card to take the bus; however, now the buses don't go near the court

This is what 36 looks like. Happy Birthday Me! I am thankful for my hairline/thick beautiful hair, and my natural, full lips! Oh, and my husband @fatherrjon! Here's to another 36 🥳

This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

It's National Poetry Day, and I haven't written properly in ages because *gestures wildly*; there's a couple things that close at the end of the month that I wanted to submit to, but each time I think about it, I recoil. I crave recognition, and appreciation - but am perpetually let down...

the world is going to helllll Microsoft Word telling me "you're number five" should be "your number five" 😭 NO BITCHHH. Do I have to stop using contractions and just type "you are" every time, so people know it's correct‽‽

Love this accurate description 🤡

I applied for a job o_O It's only three days a week, which I feel is [hopefully] manageable. You could probably call it entry level, at a LIBRARY! I really think my experience and skills really fit what they ask, so WE WILL SEEE.

rest day today, since my muscles hurt

Proof steps were taken (pun intended).

Trying so hard to force myself to go outside to exercise, when I haven't been outside in months. Very self-conscious (about my body), and thinking about it makes me feel very depressed.

@cathsheard.bsky.social do you know much about vermin? we think we found a cache of rat poo, but we haven't heard any noises, or even seen any food taken, or bites out of carboard boxes o_O We don't even live on a first floor. Who knows how old the poo is, it's like black hard pills. 😱

Yes. Also, we should be careful about many other things. Like, AI doesn't provide information; it produces an output. (It is our interpretation of the output as language communicating information that makes it such).

Little hands! 🙌🏻 (this is Ponzu - www.tumblr.com/ratsquinks)

I got nothing witty to say, I’ve just always loved Cereal Rat

Four of these messages in 10 minutes!! And my phone IS using 4G for calling 😒 ffs

Friend, things are bleak.

Spent $76 at the pharmacy yesterday. Could have been $16 (or maybe less?), if National hadn't recinded the free prescription programme.

This is interesting 🤔 I need more context: are they "just getting by" because they have a $4m mortgage, and so their $100k would probably not be enough to get by. If they're renting a place like ours, or maybe have a home freehold, $100k is wealthy.

I need some big/flowy/ruffley thing I can wear, so I can hide me from me 🙃

yuss bichess, we're connected to onenz and instantly feels faster. I have to CALL 2degrees to close my account; if I can sign up online, I should be able to cancel online as well 😣 Also they might ask me to return the modem? Have never had to do that before o-O

Switching wireless back to Onenz; we had switched to 2degrees after Onenz no longer gave a discount for mobile plan plus an internet plan, but 2degrees internet is SO BAD: constantly disconnecting, and then goes very slow randomly. Never had these issues with Onenz/Vodafone, so we're crawling back 😪

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Biggest Happy Birthday to the one and only @thisiscorey.bsky.social!! 🥳🎉🌠🌟🎊💝🎂🎁🌹💐👑💕🦆 I hope you have a great day!

Our team have been working hard changing transmitters on all ~90 #kakapo on Whenua Hou, including Vori. Catching kākāpō can be tricky - especially since they often roost up trees. #conservation #parrots Pic: Maddy WhittakerA

lol not the super graphic baby being born scene in a video people had to watch in Science, because I was sick that day LOL. something I do remember watching was a whole lot of sitcoms in Media Studies, including, but not exclusively: I Love Lucy, Only Fools and Horses, Father Ted, Black Books....

Embarassing! Just accedentally liked a guy's picture on Instagram from 2015!!!

the wind is strong. keeping gulls aloft and they just hang out there above the city, looking and gliding peacefully despite the gale. the flags on the council buildings are taut and quivering. the birds are mesmerising. how high up before they angle down again? are they surfing up there? is it play?

The wind and rain is so bad that water is blowing UP the crack in the bottom of the windows and pooling on the windowsills 😒 We think there's probably supposed to be a drain in the aluminium frame, but is blocked, so the water is just pooling in the frame 🫠

Thanks Duolingo... wtf‽ How am I supposed to learn things if you put underscores instead of words, with no way to make them appear? There's also a section with little volume icons which one would assume means you can listen to pronunciation: nope, just for decoration 😒

I cannot get the latest Turner's Car ad song out of my head. Bubba is the only person who could give it justice! so good. SELLL US YOUR HONDA, Rhonda, SELL US YOUR FORD, Lorde, YOUR NISSAN MAXIMA, Doctor Ropata....

If you invest in our environment, nature fights back! From one breeding pair, to almost 300 pairs today, now enough Kōkako in Hūnua the recovery project is can share with others!! 20 Kōkako are moving to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari! Story: ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/news/2025/06...
