Today I was a sensible grown-up and used some of the extra money I have from not smoking to increase my Kiwisaver contributions by 2%. Sidenote: sometimes I really wish I didn't have to be a sensible grown-up and could waste the money on silly frivolities that made me happy. 😭😆

While we are in this Greek Mythology moment, may I remind you that Emma Thompson is adapting Pat Barker’s take on The Iliad, and she’s struggled to get it made bc the focus on what acts of war against women and survival thereafter actually look like (the core of Barker’s narrative) is too intense.
