Hi, everyone. Been a minute, right? Mainly because I forgot my password and couldn’t be arsed to reset it til today but good to see your lovely faces and also to see that the-universe-formerly-known-as-NZ-Twitter is just as batshit as it ever was
A picture of a box of alcoholic Sunny D
Today I learned that there is a “hard” version of Sunny D and excuse me I am just off to fire myself into the sun. Also HNY pals etc etc

Extraordinary in every way, each word a pearl, etc. Do read this, it’s amazing.
Dying help Tze Ming this is perfection
I mean I would substitute the celery for mayonnaise just saying
Still have not been to Gore or Invers bc it’s important to have goals (seriously tho are they also cool?)
Drawers at a robot-sculpture-art place which are labelled with different kinds of eyes
Also good: Oamaru
Sign in Dunedin saying “I’m open”
While I am distributing luke-warm tea: Dunedin is really awesome! I had no idea!
Idk how we’re gonna make the world a better place, but I can assure you being a cunt to everyone around you is not the answer
“Mizj you should update Bluesky more often” said absolutely no-one
The best bit of Once In A Lifetime (the live version) is not the “my God what have I done” bit but the keyboard solo riff, sorry if you disagree but I am correct
Peendeliers hehe
Yes, seriously
Wait - a nationwide shortage of sertraline? Wtf? @huttjatt.bsky.social
A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼
Fifth thing! I love the inside of my Cure sweatshirt which is perfectly soft and gorgeous. The outside is also good of course but goth + cosy = wondrous
Fourth thing! I love a good dystopian sci-fi series - particular faves have been Fallout, Silo and Foundation in particular! The costumes! Demerzel! Lee Pace chewing the scenery! Jared Harris Having A Bad Time!
Third thing: I love the taste of London tap water. Maybe it’s the super high levels of calcium chloride or the lingering memory of, well, other people’s enjoyment of said water - but it hits the spot and I miss it. See also: London in general.
Second thing! I love the soundtrack to the Chernobyl miniseries. It was composed by Hildur Guðnadóttir who used actual recordings from nuclear power stations, which is about the most metal thing I’ve ever heard
Okay let’s go! First thing: I love the Maillard reaction. Such an incredible thing which makes food delicious and is also very nerdy science en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillar...
I will do this pleasing meme too! 1 like = 1 thing I love
So sad about Nicholas Boyack - Hutt icon, tremendous local journalist and all round good guy. He’ll be missed. (Shout out to Norks for an amazing obit, too) www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3604...
I used a video editor to analyse the video + estimated the size of the space using google maps
Based on that, the lower bound of the number of people in the video is about 83,000 people. Plus the 4,000 already at Parliament house (according to @tzemingdynasty.bsky.social) that makes 87,000 people.
Absolutely same, cannot wait
Perfection
@taipo.bsky.social e hoa, I was just thinking - ten years since all that nonsense, ha. But that also means ten years that I’ve known you, and that’s a gift. Ka aroha xxxx
"I think I knew first what side I was on when I was about five years old, at which time nobody was safe from buffaloes. It was in a brownstone house in New York, and there was a blizzard, and my rich aunt--a horrible woman then and now--had come to visit. I remember going to the window and seeing the street with the men shoveling snow; their hands were purple on their shovels, and their feet were wrapped with burlap. And my aunt, looking over her shoulder, said, "Now isn't this nice that there's this blizzard. Now all those men have work." And I knew then that it was not nice that men could work for their lives only in desperate weather, that there was no work for them in fair. That was when I became anti-fascist, at the silky tones of my rich and comfortable aunt."
