AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I recently did a collaboration with the Department of Conservation to develop a line of merch for their iconic visitor centres at Tongariro and Aoraki National Parks... The Aoraki designs aren't public yet, but I can share the Tongariro designs which are now available for purchase on location.

When draining the vegetables in the kitchen, I serenade them with the lyrics "I want to drain you like a sieve" to the tune of Praise You by Fatboy Slim.

Two scraps of cotton wool. #kakapo chicks Pakiki-A3-2026 and Wendy-A1-2026 in Wendy's nest on Anchor Island. These are two of the youngest kākāpō chicks from this year. The oldest is about 6 weeks older and ~15 times heavier! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds #wildlife

This is so on brand. A friend rang this morning to say he dreamed I was doing a performance in which I ate a black cat and was left with a bit of tail hanging out of my mouth. 😂🫦

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I want to be asleep yet I am not. WHY GOD WHY???

Annoyingly late to be thinking about bed! I hate this for me cos I’m about three hours after bed deadline and heading to Wellington tomorrow for a bestie’s 50th in Martinborough. Pray for Becky.

I am speaking tomorrow at 8am on the proposed Merger of NZ The Ministry for the Environment with cities and transport and regions- a merger proposed by a coalition government that, if I can be frank, seems to be barely holding itself together right now let alone embarking on reckless restructuring

@thespinoff.bsky.social Kia ora! Double bunking in prisons is inhumane. Maybe Alex C could cover this in Ōtautahi on the 9th of April?

It's such a cruel cruel time but yesterday i was in tears of restored hope in humans listening to this on the radio. www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/591...

@typenamehere.bsky.social one for you.

Baby.

Monday

100 #kakapo chicks?! They won’t all survive and the season’s tally will end up quite a lot less than that, but that’s our current guess at how many have hatched so far. #kakapo #conservation #wildlife

That was meant to say wealthy and sorted!

It’s been real hot in Ōtautahi today, so I’ve sat on my deck in me gruts. Plus, I got to pick up a SACK of catnip from the lovely @lindaosborn.bsky.social so I’m waeakrhy and sorted for nip.

thus proving whales are among the most intelligent creatures on earth

Team Buster or Team Squid in this instance?

Friends make sure friends are enrolled to vote. And sooner the better... just me, or is there a bit of a snappy 'lection feeling in the air this year? 😬 PS Younger voters are least likely to be enrolled – so they deserve all our support and encouragement to activate their democratic powers! 🤜✨🤛

In other news, if you can still afford Netflix after filling your car up, they have a little gem coming out April 3rd.

That wasn't dead baby fraud, it was sparkling identity theft!

Straight-up barefaced bullshit from the police here. There is no way a 50% increase in cannabis possession charges in the last two years simply reflects a commensurate increase in use. Apart from anything else, cannabis is not part of national wastewater sampling. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/cannabis-...

Went to watch some roller derby last night as part of Pride. Saw this Too Friendly duck on the way!

7.32 this morning...6.15 this afternoon

Friday boy!

I looked at some comments on Facebook. Prayers for Becky. Thoughts too.

Hey, so, shitty news. I have just had my contract terminated because of lack of available work. This is super a bummer, as I cannot afford to, y'know, live now. Any leads on work-from-home transcription work much appreciated.

Can’t say Muslims. Can’t say mosques. Can’t say white supremacism. A coward who is scared of his own base and overpowered by his own bigotry. In the month of Ramadan too. Disgusted.

@beckeleven.bsky.social ! A clowder

The Rainbow Bridge just opened briefly over the harbour

@typenamehere.bsky.social just for you.

The temperature in Christchurch dropped 10°C in only 30 minutes this afternoon (Friday) with a cool southerly change 🥶🌡

A horror story. I smashed TWO bottles of wine on my kitchen floor. Glass and liquid everywhere. Now my lounge stinks!

crime dog you gotta find some better wording for this

Fuck you very much, minister - we're just going to say thank you TO OURSELVES for making you reverse the decision.

Aw. Can we all just give a moments thanks for my friends’ 16 yr old who came to help me pick up millions of peaches, for free! V good!

Imagine it being radical to say every kid and their family deserves to have love, care, support, and education

Anyone want this critter?

Leaning into the cooker vote. Nice.

Oh my god someone Halloweened both iterations of my beautiful photorealistic painting This is better than Christmas

It looks like an orb weaver to me. I don't know the exact species, but check out these little buddies here (all perfectly harmless, of course, as well as being very shiny) 🕷️ www.brycephotography.co.nz/orb-weavers-...

Wow wow WOW 💖 www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/kiwi-coup... Kiwi couple gift $150m to restore native wildlife in New Zealand

RIP my newish (but second hand) couch!

@drspidernz.bsky.social might be the best person I know to ask! It’s very shiny!
