It's kinda amazing to look back at the creativity that went into a lot of the TV that I watched as a kid. And by creativity, I mean drugs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZsh...

Found some werewerekōkako on a walk yesterday #nz #mushroom #fungi

Last day at Papamoa beach. #nz

Be honest, you forgot all about Stormy Daniels didn't you.

Isn't it curious how a random moment can affect people? Like how the name "Karen" became synonymous with entitled, middle-aged white women. And that's what you think every time you are introduced to someone called Karen.

Losing the ability to cry freely turns out to really suck. Guess I'll just have to get better at pushing those pesky feelings deep, deep down into the pit with the fears and insecurities. I'm sure it'll be fine.

German has so many good words. Does it have something that described food made lovingly because you are making it for someone else? #food #german #love #liebe

Not a bad way to start the day :)

How do you get people to respond to a post? I don't seem to be very good at it. Maybe I just don't know how to use tags effectively. No idea. ARTISTS! How do you approach drawing a portrait where the reference is low contrast and flat? #art #portrait #drawing

TIL Bad Bunny played the Wolf in Bullet Train.

One thing I don't get is the whole "there is no place for violence in politics" in the US. I mean, is the 2nd amendment just for cosplay?

I have to confess, I thought the world was more likely to head towards a Brave New World dystopia rather than 1984. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”

mlem. Frustrating when you come across a great post and you want to comment, to interact with the poster only to discover that there are a bazillion comments already, and your contribution will be nothing but a drop in the ocean, regardless of whether that drop is a pearl or a smart pill.

This is a brilliant idea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7An...

Electric Callboy is always a win.

this might seem techy or arbitrary but it's the exact opposite. New Zealand needs data sovereignty ASAP thespinoff.co.nz/atea/13-01-2...

Fabulous! rainbow-wool.com

Plato has been silenced. Government censorship is alive and well in the USA Disgusting hypocrisy from people who pretend to be for free speech www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

NZ PSA re Animates: Don’t buy Playology products that look like this - Indie ate half a lizard tail before I realised what she was doing (she’s fine but monitoring.) From the online reviews there have been very bad experiences across the range - alarming that Animates is still stocking them. 🫠😡😾

The breakfast of champions -- lorazempam!

Wow, only one thing to do today.

It's a shame there is no mechanism for dealing with tyranny.

Oh.

Goodbye 2025. It was a pretty big year. Went on some nice walks. Fled a dystopian blackhole that threatens to consume the world. Read some pretty great books.

I hope this is the year that websites with scrolling pages get rid of headers that obscure half the page and make it painful to see what you're actually there to see. Yes, pinterest, I'm looking at you. And, yes, this is a hill I will die on. #uiux #pinterest

Visited the Mrs Chippy monument at the Karori cemetery this morning. #nzsky #wellington #mrschippy #catsky

Took advantage of the beautiful weather and walked along the Mākara beach track. It is a loop that goes along the cliff edge and then back along the rocky beach. #nzsky #wellington

It's weird, there is not the slightest breath of wind in Wellington at the moment. I hope it lasts. I'd like to go for a hike today with being blown off the mountain. #nzsky #wellington

Went to the Lady Norwood Rose Garden in Wellington yesterday. Roses aren't usually my thing, but there were some really beautiful ones there, and my daughter loves the names. #nzsky #wellington #rosegarden

Went for a walk along the Skyline Trail in Wellington yesterday. Views of the city and the surrounding farmland. #nzsky #wellington

Visited Cape Palliser a couple of days ago. Dramatic landscape, seals -- wish I could have stayed longer. #nzsky #wellington

Last day in Whanganui. Wellington, prepare yourself. I mean, you're not going to notice us because sensory-issues but.... #whanganui #wellington

Visited Technoman in Whanganui yesterday. I needed to print something out, and it had good reviews on google. BUT NO ONE MENTIONED THERE WAS A SHOP CAT! Also, Adam was great, friendly, awesome. You should go there.

😭

A quick stroll up to the Atene viewpoint.

Walked around Bason Botanical Garden today.

Thought my tire needed some air today. Turns out It did because it had a dirty great nail sticking in it. It took a few hours because they were busy today. When it was done, the owner said it was free if I left a nice review on google. That caused my brain to hang. No script [ @tkingfisher.com ]

Went for walk through the Waitahinga trails yesterday. Was a fun walk, but I didn't get many decent photos. Lots of moss and general green.

Drove along the South Taranaki Bight today and stopped for lunch at Ōpunake beach while kids were learning about surf life saving.

zombie hands clawing at a zombie world.

Had a walk up Pukeiti summit yesterday. It was a mixed bag of trails. Some well maintained, other beautifully wild.

Went on the Veronica Loop (Mt Taranaki) for a walk today.

Took advantage of the beautiful weather to walk around Lake Mangamahoe this morning.

Spending the week in Korito, Taranaki. When I step away from the cabin I enter a primeval forest. Who knows what elder things walk these paths.

Don't you hate it, in the morning, when you've just finished your coffee and the shower is calling, but the neighbours are screaming at each other and you have to wait by the phone because you're not sure if it's going to escalate into domestic abuse.

I love the cosy feeling of sitting in a kitchen, with a fresh mug of coffee, as the rain beats down in the morning. 😄☕
