Just struck me what a wonderful privilege it is to have an occupation that allows me to listen to my own choice of music while I work. Also, Bill Callahan is freaking awesome.

Just saw The Piano in a cinema for the first time in a loooooong time and although my memory of Holly Hunter’s perfect buttocks was untarnished, I had forgotten the sublime hotness of naked Harvey Keitel doing housework. 10/10 now and forever.

I’ve experienced a (positive) mental health transformation over the last 12 month and sometimes, like today… I feel a bit strange and then realise it’s the absence of depression and I’m now able to access a whole new palette of emotional richness.

Sublime weirdness from Orchestra of Spheres at Lōemis Festival.

A huge full moon projected against the inside of a gothic chapel… blue light beneath falling on 4 small figures in black with strange headpieces.

Have resolved to flirt with every butch woman I see while I am in Sydney for a week. Mind you I am staying at my parents’ retirement facility, which reduces my options somewhat.

I was in the public gallery yesterday and as Bishop (in Willis's place) was saying they'd find efficiencies through implementing digitization and AI, an opposition MP (couldn't see who) shouted "who's going to do that?". I was opposite ACT's Simon Court who kept shouting "the computer will do it!" 🤦‍♀️

Nadia Reid provided the perfect soundtrack to this morning’s ride to Eastbourne along Tupua Horo Nuku, the new Eastern Bays bike path. I am constantly reminded of how fortunate I am and what a privilege it is to call this place my home.

Blue skies in Pōneke for today’s Hīkoi for Peace. And powerful messages… as the paradigms we grew up with crumble around us… what are we doing to shape what grows from the ashes?

Against a deep blue sky, a crowd of people assembled for today’s Hīkoi for Peace in Pōneke. A child observes from their vantage point up a streetlight pole. A placard reads ‘Usraeli State terror - more killing for your buck - more world f&ck’.

Fun April 25 AM activity… sitting in a supermarket carpark watching endless streams of punters shuffling up to the door, getting confused when the automatic door doesn’t open, belatedly noticing the ‘We open today at 1pm’ signs, then spending far too long peering in in disbelief and longing.

Great outing to the Dowse Gallery with members of the Welly Autistic Professionals Network. A guided tour of the gallery followed but a choice of art activities and much earnest discussion of Star Wars.

Simple black on white print with the words ‘Make jam not war’, the word jam in red letters, as the label on a jar.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social Thanks so much for a glorious gig in Welly tonight. Superb set, and ending with Up the Wolves? I almost fell off the balcony in joy. It’s such a long way for you to come but I think you know how much it means to us.

Having some major feelings about seeing this band tonight. Last time it was a different country and I was a different person with a different name. But their music links the person I was to the person I am in a way I can’t ignore.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Mary Wollstonecraft warned you that women who are only objects of pity and love, due to their “fascinating graces,” their “soft phrases, susceptibility of heart, [and] delicacy of sentiment” — in a word, due to their weakness (and not strength) — “will soon become objects of contempt.”

Just grabbed tickets for Split Enz in May. Happy happy! I’ve been revisiting their discography lately and it’s just so solid musically, with all the zany energy I remember.

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The actual path to liberation for lonely men is feminism—because pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." www.the-reframe.com/fix-your-hea...

We have a tiny window of opportunity to lead the world out of a political right wing fascist nightmare. 2026 is that opportunity. We are one of the first countries voting in this new right wing AI disinformation hellscape. I really don’t think left wing political parties are ready? #nzpol 😖😰

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...
