I want to do something nice for somebody but @thelittlepakeha.net already told me not to bring over free bananas. To be fair, they're not very good bananas.
At some point I am going to go see the doctor for a new prescription, and when I do that I will talk to her about getting a MedicAlert bracelet, and when I do *that* I will weave a colourful chainmail band for it, so I need to decide what colours.
Make a band bigger: Headless Turkeys (Headless Pouākai but I would never wish that on the mighty pouākai)
"ACT and New Zealand First have invoked the 'agree to disagree clause'." I really hope this part gets airplay, because it completely munts National's "we HAD to do [thing we wanted to do anyway] because it was in the coalition agreement" argument that the media otherwise hasn't challenged #nzpol

I am listening to my "Having A Sad" playlist and it strikes me that a lot of songs on this playlist are actually really happy but they remind me of sad things.
I need Bluesky to understand that I never want to "save a draft". I always want to "cancel". That is what I do, I type out posts and then I cancel them. Over and over. Endlessly. I will probably cancel this one too.
Unrelated to previous posts: what if I quit my job so I can become a Media Figure for the as-yet-imaginary Union of People Wot Pay Tax
I loooooooathe myself when I am feeling sorry for myself but sometimes you just gotta be sad.

Someone is WRONG on my TIMELINE and it's making me twitch but also I really don't want to get dragged into it, what a dilemma.
Judging by my likes, it is Very Good when I talk about cheese, less good when I mention politics, so let me just say: fuck yeah CHEESE.
On a brighter note, the cheese we like was on special this week and we stocked up and now have So Much Cheese
Home for twenty minutes, long enough to get changed and guzzle some cordial, then out again. Busy Sunday.
Doing An Event today and I’m surrounded by trees and birdsong, it’s pretty good
I am at the market and it’s our last day in this location- next week we shoft for construction
I had a dream that one of the acts for Electric Avenue called in sick so they agreed to let me and my friend DJ but I was convinced such a thing could never happen in reality and therefore it must be a dream, so I didn't show up to the event briefing.
I need to remember to go to the pharmacy at lunchtime
Oh, multi-factor authentication, how I tolerate you.
Good morning all, I have put casserole in the slow cooker and done my Boring Morning Work Tasks and now I have Other Boring Work Tasks to do. Bills gotta get paaaaaaaid.
Trying to do my bits to make the world a better place and folks, it's fucking exhausting.
