I don't want a continuation of "we couldn't possibly afford to do that" for things that are basic, just and necessary. I want bold and fair government, not centrist bullshit.

the strait of hormuz is in a quantum superposition of open and closed that only collapses when you try to take a tanker through yourself and see if you get shot at

Should JP and Elvi have something like this? I feel like they should

We really sent the guy who couldn’t pick out donuts.

Gorgeous slug

Absolutely. Binky too, obviously

Man, I haven’t felt so Catholic in literal decades. #Lolsob #EverythingIsBananas

I'm on my couch in Northland, ceiling fan on high and with a frozen gel pack on my neck 🔥🔥🔥

Bought lobster AND sweater pattern for him. Sweater incoming. Will likely end up buying the crab patterns too. She also has a book coming out this year! www.karlacourtney.com/shop?currenc...

Ta! Next up, I'm knitting him a jumper 😆

When the world is inexplicable, channel your inner absurdist and knit a lobster. His name is Langston and he is HILARIOUSLY floppy

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel.

Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects.

What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

Cassandra, no one wants to hear your doom and gloom. Stop being such a downer 🙄

Earth set: the illuminated crescent of earth is visible above the lunar horizon. Swirling clouds are visible over blue ocean (the Oceania region). The moon in the foreground is a grey brown and pockmarked with dozens of craters

Earth rise: the earth is a slim crescent with the right edge illuminated but partially blocked by the limb of the moon. The moon is completely dark, but rugged terrain is visible in its silhouette against the earth

Earth set and Earth rise from Artemis II. Views of our home humans haven’t seen since 1972. A generation defining moment. I just woke up and I am sobbing 🧪🔭

I recently did a collaboration with the Department of Conservation to develop a line of merch for their iconic visitor centres at Tongariro and Aoraki National Parks...

The Aoraki designs aren't public yet, but I can share the Tongariro designs which are now available for purchase on location.

As more people distance themselves from Trump it’s helpful to accept their mistakes with grace and help them back to reality. I’m not gonna do that, I’m gonna mock them viciously, but, you know, it’s helpful. Someone should do that. Not me though.

My Gen-X “whatever” coping skill is saving my sanity in 2026

Whew. GenX group hug.

What a fucking shot holy shit

Big news: I have been selected for the New Zealand Olympic Cynicism team! Apparently rolling my eyes and saying "yeah, whatever" when the selector called round gave me the last point I needed to qualify. LA 2028 (if it's not a smoking, radioactive ruin by then) here I come!

It's a whole saga!

The government is busy telling everyone about fuel shipments headed to NZ.

I want to know about shipments of EVs, eBikes, eBuses, trains, and solar panels, so we don't need to worry about that other shit anymore.

Rude human

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics
