Specs & cats fan. Swears a lot. Typos - nearly always. Puns likely. In Ōtautahi/Christchurch, AoNZ. Turns out I'm neuro-spicy. Woke as. Views my own, not representative of my employer. She/her. TERFS, racists, ableists, & misogynists can fuck right off!

Discovered Bavarian 0% Wit beer at th3 supermarket and bought some to try. It's really good, and tastes like an actual Wit Bier. Will definitely be buying more. Gave some to Dad last night and I think it's his new preferred zero alcohol beer.

@silkehartung.bsky.social Hello, just want to pass on some feedback, about the joy (and fits of laughter) your pins bring. I sent my sister a pin sometime ago and gave her your web shop details - she is a very happy customer. 💚
A screenshot of part of an email where I have redacted identifying names. It says:
 Hi there!

I'm sitting here at the dining room table looking at some stuff I just bought and finally remembering to tell you that I have been making a fair bit of use out of that Poco Moto tip off you gave me and I've been wanting to thank you for it!

I bought about 9 badges in my first purchase a while ago and keep them in a bowl on the REDACTED desk at work for myself or others to dip into - or take home if they want. The PewPewPew one has gone, and the Don't Panic one too - I suspect that's the colleague who has Corporal Jones as his avatar image. He's not a HHG2G guy so I doubt he cares about where it's really from... 

I mostly wear the Professional Yapper one, but far too often the My Brain Has Too Many Tabs Open one gets picked up too. The best reaction was my mate REDACTED, when he found the one I think of as the Fuck Spinner. He was already laughing when I showed him that the needle moved too, and he couldn't speak for several minutes. 

I just bought a few more I want to give to some folks, and got another lovely message from Silke - it's been a quiet month apparently, so I'm glad to be putting some cash in a more useful place than the usual places I put it - supermarkets especially.

I cannot credit who made this because I have seen so many versions of it, but I always remember this quotation:
The image features a text section above a photo. The text is a funny synopsis of the film 'Alien' with the caption: 'ALIEN (1979) IS A MOVIE WHERE NOBODY LISTENS TO THE SMART WOMAN AND THEN EVERYONE DIES EXCEPT FOR THE SMART WOMAN AND HER CAT.' Below the text is a photo with character Ripley, holding Jonesy the cat. Ripley is a woman with dark curly hair and wearing grey overalls. The cat is a short haired ginger tabby.

One of our former cats loved her crinkly tunnel. As a Maine Coon she gre too big to be able to exit through the side hole but she could dive through from end to end at great speed. Such fun for cats.

What about Elevenses?
Two cats are dressed as Hobbits. The cat on the left is black with a black and white chin It is wearing a white shirt and grey waistcoat, under a green cloak fastened with a leaf brooch.  The cat on the right is a brown tabby with a white chin. It is wearing a white shirt and brown waistcoat, under a green cloak fastened with a leaf brooch.  Their expressions imply they are unimpressed. There is text over the picture that says “Just informed them there won’t be a second breakfast… nor an Elevenses.”

Rats are an invasive species here, and kill our native birds. Our birds eat insects (among other things). It is clear you know nothing about our ecosystems. Now would be a good time to be humbly listen to people who actually live here and learn something outside your own lived experience.
A sign with a colourful background and colourful text that says "Now that's what i call being completely fucking wrong about New Zealand".
It is generally shared when someone from outside AoNZ jumps into a AoNZ centric discussion and tries to tells us we are wrong about our own country. Usually their comments are based on how things work in their country, and is not applicable here. Sadly the majority of people confidently making these wildly incorrect statements are often from the US.

The weather guy on TVNZ 6pm news always starts his piece to camera standing like that, and it annoys me. Probably because in my head it's a Tory thing.
A Twitter post by Omid Djalili. It says: The "Tory Power-Stance" looks like they rode in on a Shetland pony that'd bolted & they're all trying to style it out.

A photograph f Elizabeth Warren. An older white woman with short blonde hair. She is wearing glasses, a striped shirt and dark jacket. The accompanying text says “There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there – good for you.
But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory…
Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea – God bless! Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay it forward to the next kid who comes along.”

Definition of an optimist. This cat visits us in the evenings for pats and a bit of a chat. we are not sure who it belongs to but it has a collar and is in good condition, so we do not feed it. #NotMyCat
A back lawn scene. The area is mostly green grass, with bushes on the left side and rear of the picture. Bottom left are some grey concrete paver steps leading downward. In the centre is a black birdfeeder pole with several hooked arms. Attached to it are several bird feeders with seed or nectar. Beneath the feeders, sits a small black shorthaired cat, waiting for birds that will not come tot he feeder while it is there. his is not our cat, she just stops by to say hello.

Now I'm headed for divorce
Cos we had to eat the horse
When we couldn't go buy groceries in the ute
Ma wife, she loved that nag
So, she's gone and packed a bag
And given our relationship the boot
She said it was short sighted
With no ute, we need to ride it
But instead, I made foolish rushed decision
We've no transport not no food
All because we did get screwed
By an incompetent and no good coalition
