Wee little shake, just enough to notice #eqnz

Uhh, I had no idea that a Super Troopers 3 was happening and that it opens tomorrow. I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

I find myself burning with incandescent rage at the way all the civics and constitutional rules and laws I learned my whole life are actually just suggestions if the ppl in congress have a deficiency in courage "A gentleman's agreement only works if the ppl involved are gentlemen "

It's hailing hard enough Deanie went to hide behind the couch, lol. She's a Wellington cat, she's not used to this stuff.

Another day where the president & other national Republicans get to sh*t on cities/urban voters & we have <exactly none> of the National Conversations™️ about Civility, Tone, Respect for/Reaching out to Real Folkz, or the GOP’s problem of not offering enough Moderate Solutions on Kitchen Table Issues

Trump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."

Attended my lawn bowls club AGM today. Finished up with the president shouting everyone a drink at the club bar. I love this sport.

This poast that I stole from twitter is the best shit. Why the fuckin racists will never win: little guys kicking around with their mates saying shit like "wahgwan alaykum" and "O Allah that's spicy"

Finished week 7 of Couch25K this morning. Almost there (again).

A work acquaintance asked me if my home was as cold as Wellington. A bit confused, I said no, my place has good insulation and a heat pump. WA: No, I mean your home. Me: (still confused) I live in Wellington? WA: No, I mean your home country. She meant the US but that hasn't been my home in years.

Deanie woke up and immediately started to attack her tail. Still a kitten at heart 😻

Rage is a recognized symptom of menopause but I think it is also that after 50+ years of being condescended to and people trying to take advantage women have just had ENOUGH OF THIS SHIT.

Have begun a rewatch of Flight of the Conchords (maybe my first since moving to NZ?) and my god it holds up so well. What an original and hilarious show.

Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line and never go up against NZers when it's about the best birds.

In the end, it wasn't even close. The pīwakawaka is the best "ordinary" bird in the world! Undefeated in 8 matches, this little guy was the class of the tournament by some distance. #WorldCupOfBirds

“We’re not asking for permission to be here. We’re playing.” In February, USA Rugby banned transgender women from competing in women's matches. It was, on paper, a massive blow to the Baltimore Ferals, one of hundreds of teams affiliated with International Gay Rugby. Instead, they kept playing.

If I have to hear anyone cry on a plane I'd pick the baby over some middle-aged man screaming about someone reclining their seat.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

Walking to work this morning I stepped out to cross the road and a car pulling out onto the road at the same time leaned on his horn. I gave the one finger salute and a "Fuck You." Three teenaged girls near me yelled "BEEEEP" at the guy and shook their fist at him. The kids are fucking all right.

I made a spicy pumpkin soup today topped with cilantro and toasted pumpkins seeds. Ate it with a few slices of toasted cheese and onion bread. Delicious.

What a great sports weekend! Orioles on a six game winning streak, Hurricanes Poua win, the mighty All Blacks win. ⚾️🏉🏉

The pics I'm seeing from the fires in North America reminded me of this one I took in Whanganui when smoke from Australian wildfires almost obscured the sun. I thought what a terrible way for the new year to begin, it had to get better from here. Reader, I took this photo on January 1st, 2020.

LFG New Zealand!

Well, it was a very very close one yesterday, but we now have our two #WorldCupOfBirds finalists. On Sunday one of these guys will be crowned the best "ordinary" bird in the world. 🇨🇦 Black-capped Chickadee 🇳🇿 New Zealand Fantail Voting will open at 9am, EDT.

"Hey Heather, why have you stopped dating?" And no, it's not ALL MEN, but way too damn many of them for me to bother anymore. Like panhandling for gold in a swamp, I ain't got time for that.

Companies need to stop with this absolute nonsense. I don't need lemon, lavender, or especially coffee scented trash bags. I need trash bags that don't split down the side the first time I try to use them. Yes, I still bought them because they were on sale and 1/2 the price of the other ones.

gotta say the whiplash of the reactions to Graham and then Neill are something else live your life in such a way that people mourn your passing and share stories of your kindness instead of laughing out of relief that you're no longer making things miserable for others
