When the US admits that they killed any “military-aged men” who walked within 3km of a downed pilot they mean any boy lanky enough to be a teenager and any middle-aged man able to walk unaided with a cane got shot in the head for the crime of walking.

Found a bath on the side of the road last week. Hooked up a wood fire heater. Now. I have warm bones.

Tbh, i want things to escalate to put some consequences on the hateful people in power. I want this nation to learn that we do need to be self sufficient, regardless of who is in government. That preparing and responding to a crisis is what governments are for.

But why is it called Artemis

They're in my yard www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Some whataroa harvested

Someone long ago decided to name this potato "tutaekuri"

How long could you household go, without fuel supplies. I include shipments to your local shops and couriers being stopped in that. I think we'd make it to September but we'd have to be mostly vegetarian. Medication would be our one big concern.

Philippines: declare state of emergency Sri Lanka: fuel rationing, every Wednesday is public holiday S Korea: fuel price cap, and using reserves Japan: same as Korea Thailand: gov employees must wfh Australia: free public transport NZ: Here's $50 for the <3% us who get wff

Po ta to

This colonial monster of a country loves war.

Last month I spent $14 at the supermarket.

Nearly every problem we have can be solved by billionaires being bankrupted. And then maybe the grown ups can resume governing

Good. Fuck em all.

Two of our nation's "friends" are openly committing war crimes and genocide and we are still being fuckinf cowards, mostly because this pos country happily elected a government that has no problem with brown people being killed.

Karori is so far away.... I have been intending to my drop off something there for a year now...

I need to go to ohakune, with my dog, and I'm once again grumpy at our passenger trains being a tourist only service.

I know I grump about the EV Road user charges, but really I pay about $70 per year.

Which will happen first.... The rupture of the alpine fault, or the USA AI bots killing everyone?

HUGE stench of sewage coming from Moa point right now

some random shop i bought things from years ago thinks i want to get an email about their easter trading hours...

Made some lime and kawakawa soap

We won't have fuel shipments coming in at all soon..... So what shall we do? Public transport? EVs? Trains? Wfh? Rationing? Prioritise essential services? NZ&AU gov: nah, let's give out money and reduce the tax on fuel so people can keep buying it. Ummm. 😶‍🌫️

◻️ Finish open Australia server shift ◻️ Make soap ◻️ Apple cider batch ◻️ Walk dog ◻️ Plant rye, barley, oats ◻️ start winter seedlings. ◻️ Breakfast ◻️ Cherry pie ◻️ Roast coffee ◻️ Bake cookies ◻️ Clean bathroom ◻️ Repair hoodie ◻️ Repair jeans

One week until national self-inflicted jetlag day. Team of five million, all but out of sorts.

Facebook is for boomers. Bsky is got millennials... Gen x, I dunno what happened but they seem to have nothing.

Everyday the front page of RNZ confirms the theory that: in New Zealand, cars are citizens.

Good dog

Tatties... Pantry supplies that mean you have snacks anytime.

@albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social We demand an IQ test from the Prime Minister of Australia.

Watching stargate and wondering if Daniel will ever get a haircut

The teenager is make us some chocolate fudge pudding.

please help, how to i watch this ? letterboxd.com/film/aftersh...

I hate capitalism. Cycling is how I avoid capitalism. Land (ironically) and sunlight is the other. Growing food... Sharing food. Thinking "how is this produced" instead of "where do I buy this".

Making spoons, cos they actually do grow on trees.

What's a normal amount of pocket money for a nz teenager on the year of our lord 2026?

I have something I'm supposed to be doing so of course I'm doing all my chores instead.

I need a nap but too much work to do

Stock piling a few things, ordered so they arrive before the couriers lose access to petrol. I hope.

Please please continue to bloop about everyday things because this is a very doomy scroll tonight. What are you having for dinner? I’m having curried sausages but instead of making them from scratch I used a pouch from Mingle because I am susceptible to insta marketing but actually like Mingle.

Makes me reflect on the COVID response. I've always associated the irreparable cracks in our social unity (minus the real cookers) with the shift from Ardern's "team of five million" framing to the "personal responsibility" messaging of... some other guy www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

If you don't have a dog buddy yet you should be working on how to get yourself a dog buddy.

Colonial maxxing: charging people to see their own art/artifacts.

Today's harvest

Office dog.

Filled the car up earlier today.

Remember that guy on bluesky website who told me I clearly haven't met many software developers..
