Cracker day for it. Pretty contrasty light, from the looks of the footage?

Ooh, big ‘un!

nope. bedazzled is anywhere but the soles of my feet. i am princess tenderpaw about that. people who wander around barefoot just baffle me

yeah, nah, give me the feathers all day long rather than stepping on little shards of glamour >.<

we got heaps barber shops here in te aro; i should drop in for a chat

well, that's depressing

i have newtonian cats who've offered no opinions on the superposition of their kibble, choosing instead to focus on a conditioned behaviour paradigm: demanding food at all times observably leads to more food. maybe not at all times, but that was likely never the goal. they win.

that fade is the stuff of neighbourhood legends, mate. revel in it, for sure

we've been pretty welly, tbh. which i love. but sunshine and 20º+ later this arvo. i worry.

i'd happily trade our fruit flies, which are once again in season, for some daily skinks! except for our one moggie who'd likely murder 'em.

all good, tho, down here.

Seen the heat index in Hastings? Cook ya! Don’t need nothin’ over 22°, personally. <<sigh>>

I just read the sentence “just because it’s stupid doesn’t mean it won’t inherit the Earth”

Nice!

you’re an unmistakable original. any coincidence is good fortune for your fellow vibe surfers

Photograph looking down Tinakori Rd., already thronged with people, shortly after the opening of Thorndon Fair 2025. Typical cloudy, windy Welly day, but we never let that stop us.

Every year now, when I go to Thorndon Fair, I have eerie flashbacks to walking up Tinakori Rd. during the lockdown and feeling like I was in zombie movie. I much prefer the populated version, even if the Covid denialism makes me wince. #street #wellington #AoNZ #photography

i'll be chuffed if Dems get the House back

…I am taking the day off from chores to bask in my accomplishment

them days where a forgetful moment and walking into the bathroom/darkroom and flipping on the light was a "destructive edit." yeah, ironically, given my post, i don't really miss film? particularly now that you can get a decent recipe for velvia 400, or whichever stock you favour, and off you pop!

simple photograph of a Panasonic Lumix LX100 m1 next to a Canon EOS 7D m1, on a small shelf against an apartment window. A different wing of the building is visible through the window in the background.

i love non-computational cameras. i love standard transmission cars. it's clear to me they're anachronisms. it's hard not to be a bit sad that almost no one will experience those loves going forward. but, that's the way of things. my beloved antiques, shot by my iPhone 16. #photography #nostalgia

We didn’t hit it twice

We did hit it twice and that’s legal

The Admiral did it

We didn’t see them

I’m in the fog of war and you’re not even though I am right where you are

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

i mean, given the flexibility of "fix," yeah, i'll bet it will!

heaps nicer than what most of us are advising him to eat

flee! get them bombay hills in ya rearview!

Goodbye to the master.

stunner, mate. hard to imagine what that must have been like in the moment. not usually a pano-phile, but that one is champ.

Pete Hagueseth. We should make it a thing.

happy thanksgiving, mate. glad you got a good feed!
