Trampolines in Wellington are all excited because it's nearly time for walkies! #WellyWeather #BitBreezy

Gotta go, my ride is here.

Remember, this Valentine's Day, that the heart wants what it wants: an endless supply of human blood.

My tomato plant is fruiting! BEHOLD THE TINY TOMAT 🍅

Post your favourite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

Post a banger that isn't in English: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LXl... The original music video isn't bad either, but the band really smashed it in their live performance. Still one of my favourites.

One thing I really appreciate about #RiotWomen is that one of the characters, Miranda, is trans. She's a secondary character, she doesn't have a big story arc, there's no discussion of the fact that she's trans. She just is. Because trans people exist and are part of normal everyday life. I love it.

So the Rice Bowl Burger Bar in Newtown is closing after nearly 50 years & several different owners. The current owner is blaming - you guessed it - cycle lanes for the closure, despite also admitting that people have less money to spend & ingredients are getting more expensive. But BIKE LANES! 🙄

Looking for Puanga in the night sky: making plans for Rigel.

Tamsin Greig in Riot Women is making me Feel Things. She's aged like a fine wine. *fans self*

Lots of #DoctorWho acting connections in the 2025 ITV series "Riot Women"! @legopolis.bsky.social, I believe it may be of interest? I haven't spotted the spiral staircase yet, but I'm only on episode 1 so far.

Catherine O'Hara never stole scenes. You can't steal what you own.

Goodbye Pork Sausage

Current #Kiwiburn status: the poo truck just came past, being towed by a massive tractor. Mud is maybe ankle deep, slightly deeper in places.

First official morning of #Kiwiburn, and the campsite behind me has started playing Talking Heads. I approve. This must indeed be the place.

Want to talk to a Kiwiburner? Ring +64 6 260 5033 from overseas, or 06 260 5033 if you're in New Zealand. Offer only available for the next 5-6 days, so be quick! #kiwiburn (spoiler: it's an interactive art installation)

Just finished making a batch of hibiscus & cinnamon punch, and now my apartment smells like honey. ♥️

With the help of the kind folks from EkeRua ReBicycle, I have now replaced the broken brake lever on my trike! #TrikeLife

It's nearly 5pm, and I'm still waiting for the courier.

See a bridge, post a bridge: [Bridge: John Darnielle & Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lin-Manuel Miranda] And even if they never come (Even if they never come) Stay here by the fire, listening for the drum (Somebody had to do it. Thanks @themountaingoats.bsky.social!)

WTF, RNZ. If you're going to schedule an episode of Worldwatch, don't claim it's Matinee Idle! 🤬

Good news for insomniacs: there are only THREE SLEEPS to go until Christmas 2026! 🥳

Bit disappointing that Matinee Idle didn't play any Front Lawn on a show with the theme "back to front".

Sat next to Sir Ian McKellen in a cinema; did not realise it was him until he got up to make a speech.

Texts sent to MIdle so far this season: 1 Texts of mine read out on air: 1 I was the sicko who wanted to see My Pal Foot Foot done as a burlesque number. No, really.

I'm 89% convinced that the person who answered this question with "The Wars of the Roses" was trolling. Surely.

As expected, I enter #Whamhalla tonight with my head held high. I have still managed to avoid the musical obscenity that is Snoopy's Christmas, though.

Oh, so THAT'S what artichokes look like if you leave them to flower! #BloomScrolling

2026 is gonna be my year.

BREAKING: The High Court of New Zealand has granted PATHA’s application for interim relief, declaring that the Crown should not take any steps to enforce the incoming ban on new prescriptions of puberty blockers to transgender children and young people. More to come:

I wish the fucking idiot parked in Mansfield St with their car stereo blaring a kindly go FUCK yourself it is MIDNIGHT and you WOKE ME UP 🤬🤬🤬

Argh OneNZ stop texting me!

Somewhat amused by the fact that the arm & shoulder exercises prescribed to me by the hospital physio can best be described as "soft and pendulous". 😳🫣 #JustWellingtonThings #IYKYK

An important reminder for International Day of People with Disabilities: #disability does not just mean "legs don't work" and #accessibility doesn't just mean ramps. Lots of so-called "accessibilty" is performative & largely useless.

Can somebody please turn the rain off? Just for a couple of hours so I can do my grocery shopping? Thanks. #WellyWeather #FallingDamp

BREAKING: Henry Kissinger is still dead. 🖕😘🖕

"Penfold, shhhh!"

Quaxing?

What's the Kiwi slang for doing your grocery (or other) shopping without using a car? Named after a politician who claimed that such a thing was basically impossible and he had never done it in his life.

Look, if we're talking about #pie, the best pie filling that I've ever made hands-down was bacon, onion, Granny Smith apple, garlic, balsamic vinegar, and smoked cheddar cheese. Everything barring the cheese was pan-fried together before going into the pastry. Shut up, it was delicious.

David and Georgia Tennant, Tamsin Outhwaite and Tom Ellis, Sade....

The thing that makes me possibly the maddest is when adults have their bullshit moral panic bigotry about whatever issue and they start going after children first. They do it with fat kids, and brown kids, and trans kids. You exploitative harmful assholes, pick on someone your own size

You know you're on the wrong side of history when hate groups like Family First are crowing about your latest policy. #PubertyBlockerBanNZ And NZ First is claiming they've "won the war on woke". Absolute trash (derogatory) excuses for human beings. 🤮

FUCKING HELL. 🤬 NZ Govt is banning puberty blockers for trans people bc "it's unsafe" but will continue prescribing to cis people. They decided to do this during Trans Awareness Week. Arseholes! www.beehive.govt.nz/release/new-...

What's your sign?

Woke up because pain levels sre between 7 and 8, what with the broken collarbone and the frozen shoulder. I have taken all the painkillers and they're not working. Now having to rely on ice packs, mentholated patches, and Tiger Balm. Bodies suck. Embodiment was the worst mistake ever.

Evergreen post.

Current status: being kept awake by collarbone pain.

Is the #Kiwibank app down for everyone else, or just me? No balances, and when I try to log in it rejects my PIN.
