At 7.30 this morning I went outside in my pajamas and slippers to rescue a pukeko hanging upside down with one leg trapped in the next door vineyard wires. Pukeko is fine. My slippers are damp. How’s your Monday going so far?

Wellington comic series. Issue 2. Every character I design continues to change for ~25 pages and then tend to find their true form. This happens even with dozens of character sketches before I begin the comic. #comic

🧵Adventures of my orange-adjacent cat. Reg is a red Burmese, 5 years old, no fear, no impulse control. I’ve moved to a new place and tried to keep all four (I know) cats inside for two weeks. Reg’s nonstop yowling finally broke me and on Thursday I let him out …

I got high marks for School C including 99% for English and the following year I got good marks for all UE subjects except maths. First day of 7th Form the deputy principal who’d never taught me asked my name and then said “Oh yes, you’re the little girl who’s not very good at maths”

White collar tax evasion in NZ is estimated to be in the billions but fraud investigations are underfunded. This fact brought to you by Better Ways the Nacts could “Save” Money. Stay tuned for part 2: Tax the Rich #nzpol

Also timely to call bullshit on the $2.4billion "savings". December 2024 headline from BusinessDesk: "Public sector redundancy payments to reach $250m." And according to the PSA, $50million of that was spent on only 865 employees. Getting rid of 9000 = [insert large taxpayer funded sum here]

🧵 1/2 Timely reminder to a certain cohort of voters: your tax dollars do NOT pay for your superannuation. You paid for the pensions of those who retired in your working life, and today's workers will pay yours. When you were employed the number of workers paying tax was way higher than today ...

We’ve had a dreadful run the past 18 months with staff, I have 20 this term to do the work 14 did in term 4. We have someone sick tomorrrow and can’t cover them (Its a regular occurrence but if I hire more staff at the moment there are not permanent hours for them). Anyone up for some work?

Love this poll - 'Someone else' means 'Please god anyone but the above' #nzpol

Stuff poll that asks who you'd vote for as new National Party leader. Nicola Willis on a crushing 13%, Chris Bishop on 29%, Erica Sanford on 21% and 'Someone Else' well in the lead at 37%

I’m about 500 metres from the Haumoana evacuation zone but the wind was so strong it drove rain through our tightly shut louvre windows, so I hope everyone who had to get out of their houses is safe now

Just waiting for someone to amend the caption, like in that photo of the penguin and the bagpiper

Headline says: "Watch: Melania Trump arrives at White House, with a robot" and the caption for the photo that shows two humanoid creatures in all white should read, 'Robot is on the left' (it is, I think)

Often alone at the top, I follow my passion, listen to my instinct, and always maintain a laser focus.” #nzpol you thought this was Luxon didn’t you? It’s Melania #killusnow
