Dinner is meatloaf, pumpkin macaroni cheese, and bread. There was meant to be a salad but I forgot to make it.

I'm wearing my most Victorian Lady dress today. Sometimes I trip on the hem just when walking around so the stairs are particularly risky 😂

This arse parked like this and then I was on the phone to get them ticketed or whatever and the owners came out to the giant ute and were like "oh sorry we're moving now" but they were there for at least 20 minutes already. Next time I'll just report it straight away.

Okay I may as well. 1 like = 1 answer

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

[job interview] boss: what would you do if faced with a situation where- me: give up immediately

Moriarty is spooked because there were so many people here yesterday and then a courier rang the doorbell twice this morning so now I'm sitting on the bed with him just to help him settle. He won't normally settle on the bed unless I'm with him but once he's settled he'll stay by himself.

For those of you who were on Twitter back in the day, our tweet the birth baby turns 15 this week.

1. Me yelling at the leopard geckos in the spring to make babies 2. A monkey's paw curls 3. Baby leopard geckos fill every hatchling rack I have, I am overrun by tiny screaming eublepharines.

We should never have to forget nor remember our teeth. Nobody should ever have to be overly aware of their teeth.

Dylan just said "don't forget your teeth" to the youngest child as a reminder for teeth brushing but out of context it absolutely sounds insane.

Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.

"Welcome to our Gander reveal party" "Don't you mean gender reveal party" "No" *Dozens of geese burst out of a cake. Ominous honking fills the air. There are no genders only chaos*

A perfect snack

I'm currently waiting on deliveries of books, tea, and doll's faces and that basically tells you everything you need to know about me.

Do not overlook the fact that some stuff is still expensive but worse now. If you don't know if the expensive thing will be any good you are going to buy the cheap thing.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

My lounge and dining room are now full of young people.

One of the eldest child's friends is making a short film and I'm like "of course you can film it here", "here's some things you can use for it", and "we will get you all some pizza". I'm everyone's encouraging mum 😂😂

People like this are the opposite of all the amazing young people I know and I'm extremely pleased about that at least.

A senior figure in New Zealand First’s youth wing has links to neo-Nazi groups and online accounts praising Adolf Hitler, an investigation by The Press has found.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

No cheating post your lock screen It just cracks me up so 🤷🤷😂😂😂

Dylan Reeve@dylanreeve.com · 3d ago

No cheating post your lock screen. Mine is that time in Melbourne where I suggested to @melbailey.bsky.social that we do that photo thing where one person is leading the other by the hand.

Most everyone is "likeable" in person. Many serial killers pretty famously "likeable" in person, affable, even But when someone stands for everything that you do not you don't have to give them a chance/get to know them As Dylan says "leadership is nothing to do with how nice you are as a person"

Daily Indignation@dailyindignation.bsky.social · 3d ago

New Zealand journalists in 2082, as the seas have swallowed the land and we're living in a Waterworld-style society: Christopher Luxon is actually really great in person, the voters just need to get to know him.

Jareth the Goblin King said “I’m leaving here with *something*” and 60% of the audience volunteered as tribute.

Kingfisher & Wombat@tkingfisher.com · 3d ago

Lots of arguments for Magneto, Ozymandias and Killmonger, but my money’s always on Darth Revan. I will also argue that Jareth the Goblin King was neither right nor wrong but behaving exactly the way that an ancient fey acts when some dipshit teenager invokes him to steal her brother.

"can tell if bodies are dead or alive" is ... like ... yes???

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

RIGHT: we're poisoning society to death so it can be replaced with one that exists only to enable our violent fantasies LEFT: we must strengthen society by expanding social services and expelling those who seek to kill it CENTER: so... the right gets what? nothing?? come on. let em kill it a little

Another study on youth transition that find that about 97% of all youth who says they're trans turn out to be. Only 1.1% who start HRT stopped it for any reason whatsoever. This is, like, the fifth youth transition study that I'm aware of, and all of their results have been identical.

Canadian researchers found that 97 percent of youth who seek treatment for gender dysphoria still identify as trans years later.

This would be so good, I absolutely love those weird little museums. May I highly recommend the clock museum in Whangārei. Whenever we're up that way we make sure to go and it's still great every time. www.wdc.govt.nz/Community/Fa...

I hereby propose: a Museum of Hyperspecialised Museums, where each 'exhibit' is a portal to the museum in question, eg the crab museum, vagina museum, etc.
