Basically everyone except Kamala Harris knows Epstein?

today i cut a black bird out of the nets on my strawberry plants. I think the same bird that I've been seeing steal the strawberries... she was injured, but I carefully untangled her.. but,... she seems to have died of shock/fright while I was removing the nets.

6am was a sleep in..... I gotta get myself back to nz timezones.

Spinoff asked local tyre shops where the bed places to eat are. And it's clear tyre sellers are the experts on ranking restaurants. thespinoff.co.nz/kai/13-11-20...

I saw this online somewhere and now I think I have a mission to make strawberry wine.

Imagine if the Internet went down for a week. That would be nice.

couple beds of mostly-tomatoes

Wtf... This plane sounded like a vacuum cleaner.

Making this for dinner, but using lamb chops not shanks cos cheaper. www.seriouseats.com/scotch-broth...

I was just minding the firepit when someone turned up with lollycake.

There are some people on here who, if I hadn't encountered them years ago, if they only turned up this year, I would conclude they are bots.

Seen any good think pieces on class in modern nz? I wanna see what the thinkers are writing...

AI bubble gonna pooooooop

If I had my way I wouldn't be spending on haircuts and store bought clothing. I wouldn't be do gender performance. I would just be me, the human surviving, thriving like God intended. But I'm job hunting. I gotta look like I bought my clothes, cut my hair, and adhered to the false binary.

DAVID CAMERON: [indignant] fucking a pigs head doesnt seem so bad now does it

If only we could form some kind of nationwide governing body whose job was to collect money from us all and use it to fund things like critical health care. We could hold elections every 3 years on who governs us... And expect them to manage shared services for all. Does this sound too socialist?

Can we stop trying to frame nz police as the real victims? How hard it is for them to find out they're lead by shitheads? Yah nah. Shut up over there.

I'm still waking at 5am starting work by 6am...and finding my new aussie colleagues aren't there... Then I try to do a couple errands in my break and nothing is open. So I made myself a coffee and I'm sitting in the garden. Everything opens at 10am. Except the op shops. They open at 9.

If we can get enough strawberries, I could make strawberry wine.

IT GOT BETTER 📍Central MN

My chana dhal looks too wet. But the naan doughs look fine

my backyard-substenance vege garden, in the world's windiest city

... someone in Miramar yelling across the supermarket carpark, "When are you going to stop lying about Trump", at randoms...

this is the best guide to avoiding supermarkets that I have ever found. bookhub.co.nz/p/the-comple...

it's clear that ther sun streaming my my office window at my face is saying I should be outside, not sitting at a desk.

my summary of nz police response to evidence of how shit they are now: "we're so much better than we were" see also, whenever historical problems are surfaced, the response is "back then we were bad but now we're good"

Someone on RNZ from NZ police wants to tell use that "most of the [number] police turned up wanting to [do something good] every day" I missed the word saying what they want to do every day.

This isn't just a thing we do to children. It's a worldwide move for governments and corporates to collect your identity documents before you can speak freely on the socials.

Mostly reminds me of

Ppl use AI to turn one sentence into a page.... What does it add? it's two main things 1) arse covering, that the author might be wrong, the author is not a lawyer etc. 2) neurotypical pleasantries. "hope you are well" "if you have more questions"."I think maybe" prefixes if the author is woman.

Wellington, if you wanna do any outside things (like walking the dog) do it now cos the forecast says a week of rain

So, maybe, this was because of the use of live-in staff. Keep them out of certain rooms with locks.

Hmm.. Cultural question. My 1910s house has key/lock for every internal door. The keys are long lost. But the mechanism is still there. Does your nz home has locks for internal doors? (other than the bathrooms). And if you answer, say what decade your house was built.

Trying to break the "things come from shops" mindset. Things come from our earth. From labour, and water and diverse organisms, and... mines.

So, making your own fireworks from wood ash, manure, and sulphur doesn't look that hard...

Gonna go mix up the danger water, and make soap

Last night at a party someone showed me a crocheted bag that turns into a turtle Not sure if it was a dream.

The Facebook groups with the best info on self sufficiency is also the groups with posts that everything bad is caused by women and sodomists.. 😡

This book is a love letter to a city

Orchestra moments...

I have all. The. Tomatoes.

Tonight I went to a party, and acquired a spinning wheel

Hmmm

Anyone know why more Samoa than usual lately?

This week was $100 on meat. (Seatoun butcher). $36 on milled flour,milk,eggs from shelly bay baker. And then the only things from supermarket were soy milk, yeast, margarine, and some baking paper. Total of $27. Need to learn how to make those Last week got $150 (5kg) of unroasted coffee beans.

Sow thing really fucked up about building a human shaped robot to do domestic chores and giving it idealised female boobs, butt, hips, skinny waist. None of those are there to improve the chores.

There is a ruru out side my window calling out, even tho it's a bright sunny day. I guess the birds are still horny.
