iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Me: yeah, so I have been pretty much destroyed by the guilt that I made my partner sick. The cat must be going out in sympathy or something, because it's not like I could have given the cat a human cold. Vet: well actually... Me: I am the worst thing that has ever happened to my family.

The gods sent me this cold as punishment for my hubris because last week I told the lemon tree there was no way I could ever need that many lemons.

This label always baffles me... are they suggesting we should fuck the popcorn?

The back of a packet of Dr Bugs popcorn, it says "the ultimate indulgent treat for evening snacking: popcorn for adults"

They said I was mad when I started cross stitching for Halloween in June, but look who gets to start decorating before the end of September.

A photograph of black bunting hung on a wall. The bunting is decorated with cross stitch ghosts playing with autumn leaves, going trick or treating, hanging Halloween decorations, carving a jack-o-lantern, drinking coffee, and riding a broomstick.

10pm is so late that I went to a gallery opening, then to dinner, and I still had enough time to go home, watch television for an hour and put on a new outfit... this is not the time for going out... this is the time for jimjams.

Selfie, mid thirties dyke, silver sequin dress, looking banging but tired.

Finally found the casualty that the racists were so sure Te Wiki o te Reo Māori would result in... my cardigan got stained with aihikirīmi because I was distracted by a webinar.

I think the people who really need to understand this won't get it but the public service has to be incredibly fucked to have the ex-hospo gang talking about going back to hospo.

Feeling an awful lot of despair about the country right now so I am going to need someone from the New Zealand parliament to take one for the team and use question time to ask if the prime minister understands the basic premise of the Dolly Parton song nine to five.

Rocking up to the gynecologist like "hi, hello, yes I understand, pussy so bomb you had to take her out of circulation for a minute to give the other pussies a chance, of course... I mean yeah, do check for cancer but thats like secondary to the other thing right?"

Coming out of No Rest for the Wicked (2026) like yeah, of course I need to have more gay sex, but I also really need to learn how to knit.

WOAP really has got us going to restaurants we've never heard of and eating an incredibly mid burger while realizing literally everything else on the menu would have been actually decent.

I guess you can offer as much paid parental leave as you like, safe in the knowledge it won't get used because no one can afford to have kids.

The great thing about public service is getting to serve the public. The shit thing about public service is the government desperately trying to stop you from serving the public.

If anyone else in the world said "sure, all my biological family is neurodivergent and my whole chosen family is neurodivergent, but not me, I'm probably just a bad person who should try harder" I'd be like "oh honey" Not me though, I'm probably just a bad person who should try harder.

I was the last person out the door this morning and the first one back this afternoon but somehow in the meantime the coffee table has been chucked on its side.

Parks and recreation meme: Mona-Lisa Saperstein, crudeley covered by a sticker of my cat, saying "I have done nothing wrong, ever, in my life." Followed by her father, labeled "me" saying "I know this, and I love you."

Yeah the country is going great, we just have to spend the first half hour of the union meeting discussing the ways in which the government is fucking over all workers before we can get to the specifics of how the government of fucking over workers in our particular institution.

Has anyone asked labour if pregnant people who aren't women are expected to misgender themselves to get scans or do they just not get them at all?

It's shocking to me when people say they don't really read all their work emails. In this economy? You aren't constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop? Next they'll be saying they don't wake up in a cold sweat every work day.

Usually during the year we are putting a bit more in the bills account than we are spending, so by the time we get to the colder months we have a bit of a buffer. But this year the summer power bills have been winter prices and now the winter power bills are fuck you prices.

Thanks to whoever was smoking spliff outside the Marlon Williams gig last night, it really made the flashback to pre-quake Christchurch under 18s music venue an immersive experience.

It's only when a tradie comes around and I try to offer them tea or coffee (because I'm not a monster) that I realize we don't have normal tea or normal coffee because we don't really drink them at home. Currently contemplating offering the electrician sleepy tea.

Eating lunch outside and having to fight the wind to keep the broccoli on my fork until it reaches my mouth. It is still better than taking a break inside, there's people in there.

The dominance of wide legs in the dress pants arena is making me insane. I live in Wellington. I have to be able to tuck my pants into my boots, otherwise the wind blows up my pant legs and makes it feel like im not wearing pants at all. There's a tornado in my pants and it is too happy to see me.

Working on my mihimihi got me realizing what I actually need to be working on is all that baggage I got about being related to my ancestors.

Living in late stage capitalism has me jealous of the hypothetical animal chewing off a limb to escape a trap. You're telling me there is an actual way out and the price is only chewing off one limb? I fucking wish that was an option to escape this fucking timeline.

Really hope they find something actionable in my ankle ultrasound, otherwise I will have been walking around all day with lube in my socks for nothing.

I don't usually eat shortbread, but uh, this particular shortbread, is um, making some compelling arguments.

As I am going through the process of recovering from an injury that is covered by ACC I am calling bullshit on the idea that we have appropriate accident compensation that means we don't have to sue when we get hurt. 8 months of physiotherapy at $40 a week, I would actually like to sue some bitches.

Lessons from my mid thirties: I do have a bunch of awesome friends but, as they are largely my age and older, I can't ask them to help me move the dead washing machine down the three stairs in the garage. I care too much for their spines.

Alex @banksybeeboo.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I have got to stop looking at things at work and thinking "well that doesn't expire until 2026, we have heaps of time"... we do not in fact have heaps of time until 2026.

When that friend we always knew was gong to make it actually does make it, we get glammed the fuck up.

Lessons from my mid-thirties: give up on looking cute for a gig and focus entirely on sunburn prevention. You will still look cute.

A selfie of me, white mid thirties dyke wearing sunglasses and a wide trimmed hat. My shirt says "man down, level up" I look cute as fuck.

Hairdresser: so who are you looking forward to seeing at laneway? Me: Chappell Roan, Lucy Dacus, Gigi Perez, Wet Leg. It's going to be a very lesbian heavy lineup. Hairdresser: that's really what New Zealand needs at this time. Me: you know, you are so right.

12 month update on this: it doesn't work to only check the parts of the shower that previously had gecko, because gecko can come up with a new plan of hiding at the top of the shower curtain so gecko can fall from a height onto tits resulting in screaming, crying, screaming, naked running.

Day to myself and I could go and see any of the presumably exciting art around the Wellington region, but what I am doing is going back to the same Jason Greig show at The Dowse that I have already seen because it is so fucking good I am thinking about planning a heist.

Lessons from my mid thirties: it is possible to stay completely sober on news years eve and still feel hungover on January 1st, staying out until 12:30am just does that now.

News from the physiotherapist: when she says "have you tired butt stuff?" she means "have you tried excercises for these particular butt muscles as part of rehabbing your injury?" and not uh "have you tried butt stuff?"
