I'm feeling very pessimistic about the election. I guess we can all just look forward to things getting steadily worse for another 3 years while the "basics" get "fixed".

Every gothic horror:

Utterly bereft because I just finished Daggerbound by @tkingfisher.com and I already miss all the characters 😭😭

I need to have a cup of tea and read my book to calm myself down.

Now all day I'm going to be alternating between muttering and yelling "CHOOSING YOUR PARTNER??????"

I was like "why has this Winston Peters shit (him whinging about puberty blockers).turned up on my FB??" and then I saw that someone that I was friends with since we were 11 (more FB friends now) had liked it. No. Uh uh.

I'm sure there's lots of other great things in the world but I am my cat's safe place and that's pretty bloody wonderful 🥰🥰

I have a teeny cut on the tip of my right ring finger and it's the most annoying cut placement. I have resorted to putting a plaster on it just to stop bumping it on things.

I'm wearing my new Halloween cardigan. It will probably get too hot later but for now it's bats and cats.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

Friends, we have had newspapers since the 17th century. If you repeat a headline claim without reading the article, the fault is not with the headline.

Oh I thought Dylan was back on Friday morning but it turns out I wasn't paying enough attention to the calendar and it's actually Saturday morning 😭😭

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

Gotta go and cook dinner. Again.

Update: it's always bedtime

Fantastic news!

It felt like this day would never come but: the attempted ban on the prescription of reversible pubertal suppression to transgender young people in Aotearoa has been declared unlawful and set aside, and recognised as discriminatory. www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...

The vibes remain reduced. Just ugghhhhhhhhhhh. Maybe I miss Dylan.

Well now I feel like I should have turned around just to do the fingers again at the local National candidate.

Louise Upston says young cancer patients losing benefit should be supported by family. “The Government is ending Jobseeker benefit payments for those aged 18 and 19, unless their parents are on extremely low incomes or they can prove they are estranged from them.” July 2026 #nzpol

There are a lot of books I want to buy but sadly we have to spend money on stupid things like rent and feeding the children 🙄

I have been eagerly awaiting this book since I first heard of its existence.

I get to play with the topiaries. See you at The Overlook in 2027. Immense gratitude to Jamie.

Be warned. The River Witch's Halloween costume is Olympic breakdancer Raygun. Wear the same costume to the casino and you will suffer generational tragedies as well as an uncomfortable week of genital itching.

The vibes are reduced today.

Nevermind, I’m up!

He was out again today, waving enthusiastically at all the cars, so I waved back 🖕. Then, when I looked in the mirror, he had stopped waving and I was like "oh should I feel bad" but then I thought about what National has done to the people of NZ and thought "nahhhhhh I'm good".

Guess who I saw this morning. On the same corner Dylan saw him on. This time I "waved" at him. I may be a petty person but National can absolutely go fuck themselves.

The urge to eat a slice of cake is high. Unfortunately I currently have zero cake.
