I wrote an entire piece about the enshittification of New Zealand and how those who might stop it are not rising to the occasion… …and somehow only thought of #nzshittification just now www.emilywrites.co.nz/time-to-end-...

"Lol," said the scorpion, "Lmao."

@nickharkaway.com I'm sorry to be a pest, but a while ago I came across a post of yours on Substack(?) where you did some kind of phonetic(?) creative writing experiment that I believe ended up with an alien queen on a throne of some kind. I would love to re-read it, if it still exists

Folks may or may not know that I like to make creative adjustments to Bob Ross-style paintings, resulting in paintings like our friend Moby Duck. I cannot for the life of me figure out what to put in the forest river painting, though. Taking suggestions.

Just once I’d like to go to a protest where the protesters had all the batons and pepper spray and the cops weren’t allowed to do anything but suck it up when half a dozen punters dog piled them

Councils: it’s so sad that only time-rich cranks and retired cookers get involved in politics! Also councils:

Whew

I reckon one good solid repost by a Bluesky Influencer would have me sorted for commissions for several months, I wonder if @aoc.bsky.social likes art oddities 🤔

IT'S MY BOY!! (also my gayhound)

Give Josh all your money. The dog and cat paintings were a wedding present we got done for my sister and her wife and they're so good.

Investors, I get the feeling that the free AI money isn’t going to be around a lot longer so please give as much of it as possible to me. I need money more than OpenAI does and I promise not to use it on an AI project Instead I’ll just do more of this sort of thing

This looks amazing

in 2022 i wrote a series for webworm about NZ's biggest megachurch, arise. webworm exposed bullying, abuse & the coverup of rape. it led to the leaders john & gillian cameron resigning, & much of arise folding. well: they've emerged footloose & fancy free in australia: www.webworm.co/johnbrentcam...

Australians to institute report card issued by Ministry of Truth I’ve long been opposed to clumsy invocations of Orwell but unfortunately this is right on point

what was your Adobe breaking point? Mine was multiple InDesign crashes while trying to *change a font* and then having the Cloud part of Creative Cloud tell me that .indd wasn't supported when I tried to save files there

anyone who has switched from Adobe CC apps, particularly Photoshop and InDesign, to Affinity, please hit me up or point me to the handy tutorials. After my latest experience with InDesign at their current price point I can't get off the Adobe suite fast enough

GIMP is exactly as good as its name implies

That entire standard is just made up! It's not real. Journalists are like you can’t say Macbeth in the theatre and we’re all supposed to buy into their delusion. www.welcometohellworld.com/youre-perfor...

The thing that always happens happened, because the people who are always wrong were wrong again!

What if Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but with an actual circus with actual clowns

Labour need to buck up and stop expecting the easy ride from the media that they’d get if their party president was a paedophile or their leader had spent his entire career working for nebulous think tanks or their donors were all mega-rich

Still does my head in that New Zealand has a Prime Minister who acts and looks exactly like a hairless David Brent #nzpol

Parents and teachers of disabled children want them to have the best opportunities for full lives. That usually means inclusive education with support in main stream schools. Disabled kids can grow up to be adults thriving in the real world, with some help. #NZpol www.emilywrites.co.nz/inclusion/

Today on NewstalkZB, Mike Hosking said it's a "reality check" for the Government to not have a proper response for climate hit areas. Some examples of his previous work that may point to how we got here.

Now imagine if GIMP wasn’t a.) complete shite b.) called GIMP

I just found this note in my phone from 2021 and what the hell past me 😭😭😭

Stoked to be of assistance :)

I'm officially off substack! Hooray! Thanks @tworuru.com To celebrate, here's my first post on Ghost :) alices-soapbox.ghost.io/a-new-test-f...

NZ has fallen into a 'crisis and response' pattern on climate disaster, experts say. Billions have been spent on storm recovery since 2023, while key climate adaptation funding and planning tools have been cut. My story looking at last week’s storms www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I feel seen. (But seriously, a good read!)

the Democrats should announce that they will not renew any contracts with XAI, Palantir, Tesla, or SpaceX and bankrupt the fucking tech right. announce that you have the votes to ban crypto too.

New science shows there's a brain region that governs procrastination. But there might just be some other stuff going on too.

The future, brought to you by fossil fuels and their lobbyists!

"We should be demanding a government-wide commitment to climate risk reduction, incl. binding emissions cuts, adaptation plans, and a national programme to stabilise vulnerable landscapes using science-informed, Indigenous-led land stewardship." manucaddie540258.substack.com/p/a-brief-hi... #nzpol

no, new york times: the videos DO contradict. the government is lying. you are allowed to report the truth, you know. what the fuck is wrong with the US media?

i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/ "There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me. fuck ice.

Absolutely impeccable timing for this. Exquisite. Pristine.

Give me your best #adhd motivation songs, I need them

Oh and - @tworuru.com’s various newsletters - @dylanreeve.com’s sporadically - @davidslack.bsky.social for the Friday quiz - REVUE COLLÉ doesn’t seem to be on bluesky @densediscovery.bsky.social my neighbour @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social has the best bluesky user name and writes wonderful books

i was cut off without power/internet/cell for a week during Gabrielle and it forced me to reckon with this. i put solar in (enormous privilege). but even yesterday i had to text neighbours to see if a key road was open. we need leaders who are ready to meet this challenge because it’s here now.

Hey all of New Zealand, these weather events that absolutely slam into communities and cause home loss, life loss, slips, all that? For all of us, it's not a case of "if", it's a case of "when".

And tonight we had Friday Night Chats, which is a special weekly thing we do for paid subscribers - this one was hosted by @tworuru.com. www.emilywrites.co.nz/fnc-the-hits...
