A few little snaps from the exhibition - I talked about how 200 years ago, I wouldn't have been able to vote, let alone be elected to city council, how we value "women's work" (both in the age of pay equity being cancelled and crafts as art), and how many women fought to be able to vote

I noticed the Department of Public Health, University of Otago, Wellington, has shared its respiratory infection protocols www.phcc.org.nz/news/resourc...

NZ homes is they are not built for dry "The resident just needs to do X, Y, and Z" - but that's not the root cause! NZ has no political will to fix this EVEN SO.... I'd like to be able to help people get their house dry and healthy without getting a swarm of "how dare you blame the tenant" replies

Hey team, just recently I quit my day job so I can concentrate on being The Sewphist properly. Just after I hit the milestone of 300 completed orders through my website. It’s taken a decade or so. So I set the stretch goal of hitting 350 by the time I turn 50. Doable, right? This is my job now…

Mayday carnage in Wellington this morning, 160kmh gusts = wind blowing pot plant out of its pot. Locals be like “what wind?”. Will try to be more local.

We just toasted our new life in Te Whanganui a Tara.

Just sold the house so I’ve got two weeks and one day to pull off a move to my very dear Pōneke / Wellington with my four lads. Wish me luck finding our rental and if you’re down there, look me up soon!!!

Here is the recording of the last Rac Guild Townhall from Feb 5 showcasing DocRef youtu.be/gG6ARhgx7L8. This is a project by Tom Barraclough (@tombcgh.bsky.social ) & Hamish Fraser (@verbman.bsky.social) from Syncopate Lab, aimed at building Digital Legal Infrastructure. #rulesascode

My corporation? Thievery.

My Nonno had a Fiat 127 and he got me to drive him on these crazy, narrow, windy Tuscan road up the valley to the village he was from in it. Told me I drove so well he’d leave me the car! 😅 I did not get the car (I did live in Scotland) This ad reminds me of the driving sensation 😂

DocRef is pretty cool.

Just a diff on today's latest changes to the Residential Tenancy Act 1986 if you want a curated view: docref.org/nz/rta/0160/...

Started a company called Verb back in 1999. I ended up as verbman because it felt like a fun nerdy take on action man.

Be gentle on your ADHDer’s - it’s our last minute bill submissions writing week and I’m tidying my room.

I break the law, into little pieces.

Wellington on a good day 😂

Recommended Christmas reading; then you’ll be able to spend your Christmas arvo food coma writing your own submission instead of whatever else it was you were going to do. melanienelson.substack.com/p/jane-kelse...

So as I mentioned below, we’re moving to Pōneke/Wellington early next year. In odd problems I have to solve - I have a few cubic metres of milled/dried European beech wood I’m trying to work out what to do with. Any maker spaces/peeps interested in storing/mutual use etc?

First rule of holiday act reform club is: you’ve underestimated the complexity of holiday act reform. (Nothing else has come close to making me want to spend the rest of my days in a cave than the time I spent looking at NZ holiday pay - a problem that gets worse with every attempted fix).

The true spirit of Christmas is when the bad children get a lump of coal and the various scary monsters of European mythology eat them in their sleep etc. We have strayed so far.

Hey Pōneke/Wellington folks, this dad is moving with his four marvellous lads to Wellington in the early new year. We’re keen to come down over Christmas and have a holiday plus check out where we want to live. If anyone needs their house sat/pets feed DM me and let’s be friends!

Not this one but: 1976 Fiat 127 (same colour, 903cc). First engine seized on the open road about half an hour out of chch. Replaced the engine with a friend from another freshly restored (then written off) Fiat. Left it on girlfriends farm and went overseas, it got eaten out by rats. Very sad.

Starting in 30m!

Yes indeed! Thanks Jason! And thanks for making this starter pack!

Our project has launched an interactive mock-up of a legislative drafting tool we would like to see, to make it easier to write & read Commonwealth legislation. Please try interacting with the demo & let me know what you think - open.substack.com/pub/digitall...

Me and @tombcgh.bsky.social have a paper published on the home page of law.mit.edu - it's about governance of #RulesAsCode and AI systems and if that's of interest to you then *hat tip* why hello fellow nerd XD

I built a visual legislation explorer as a test for another project. Let me know if it’s useful and what new features you’d want. It’s got the NZ Social Security Act: pv.dlslab.io

This was a heartbreaking story to work on: New data from reveals the crushing burden of Long Covid in NZ. Reading testimonies is like reading obituaries. LC patients describe their lives in the past tense, because the lives they used to have are now gone. newsroom.co.nz/2023/11/17/t...

Currently out for a walk on the local designated walk that is essentially just a rural road with plans for a walk. They were literally about to start work on making it safe but apparently that’s been stopped, this you Waka Kotahi? www.1news.co.nz/2023/11/05/o...

Wake me if they form an 82 seat majority.

I offered a code to IHeartFelt (Felt.co.nz) and they've come back and asked whether I reckon they should be adding BlueSky into their Social Media mix. What say you, #Kikorangi? Would you be keen to follow a website full of amazing handmade wares, all made here in Aotearoa?

I voted yes! Oh wait wrong country

“You realise you don’t need to wear a mask anymore?” “Look your question is noted, but amongst my (many) reasons for wearing this KN95, the significant bass boost these ear loops bring to my ear buds isn’t something I’d give up easily”

LLM’s: for when you can’t afford to be right or you can afford to be wrong.

Accidentally smashed two glasses in 24hrs, amazing how difficult grant applications are for me to make. But it’s done and I’m done for the day.

Spent my entire last year in the art class darkroom washed in that familiar faint red glow while breathing in the stop fumes.

What. A. Week. Time for some zoom bubbles with my co conspirators.
