I am beyond FFS, it's more like 'For fuck's fucking motherfucked fuck's sake' FFFMFFS

our children will disdain such healthy fare

She has got a tiny little underlying trace in her Brit accent, so I'd guess born in France or Francophone West Africa, elite schooling in the UK, or British international school.

Yet another day of me screaming into a pillow.

For those outside #NZ, we've already had several "1 in a 100 years" weather events / States of Emergency declared THIS MONTH.

Who needs a Ministry for the Environment, eh?

So sick of this shit.

@taramcallister.bsky.social I'm gonna experiment with this specifically soft long-keeper recipe as a no-knead overnighter, will keep you updated haha.

#nzpol Prices for basics are rising again at a rate much faster than wages, new data from Stats NZ shows. 70% of workers got a pay rise less than 3% last year and 44% got no pay rise at all. Food prices rose 4.6% overall, with the price of white bread rising 58% this year. A 🧵

people's hero imho

They got the stank of Iain Lees-Galloway on them for a start, but is it any different from previous incarnations of TOP which have all seemed bad in similar ways, other than the Gareth Morgan era which was bad in a very distinctively pungent way?

'Oh it's not a safe seat, Labour only won by 20 votes' uhhh you know that doesn't mean you only have to get 20 votes girl. You need to get 10,000 just to beat Ricardo. Lol. lmao even. In an unpopular year for Lab you *can* get the Nat MP elected. That's why people fuckin haaaate TOP in Mt Albert.

In Mt Albert, should you magically make any headway in this shitter of an economy - the only result would be to split the giant progressive vote so the National candidate wins, then you not only lose but everyone hates you. Makes her look like an Asian who is bad at maths, I don't get it.

Agree, it would make a ton of sense in terms of strategic voting. Maybe they are not that smart because Iain Lees-Galloway is in charge of stuff.

I just found out that my mother was called in for some kind of disciplinary meeting by the school board when I was in sixth form because of a leftist op-ed I was trying to get into the media studies journal lololololol

pretty sure Qiulae Wong is the lil sister of someone I went to school with (Fijian-Chinese family), TOP does have real Dio Girl energy I gotta say

god our government fucking sucks.

Or strangle its funding like with the Climate Change Commission.

Or just appoint unqualified weirdos like they did with the Human Rights Commission.

Absolutely despise those losers

I garden for fun, fitness & touching grass cos it turns out agrarian peasant genes get louder with age. But I have NO fantasy of becoming a subsistence farmer or even an online shill for cottagecore lifestyle products due to not being able to scratch an actual living as a subsistence farmer.

Now we wait for them to disestablish the Infrastructure Commission like they did the Productivity Commission

NEW: The Infra Commission just released its official plan, and it's a massive challenge to the Govt and NZ to:

- Trim transport spending
- Double spending on renewal/maintenance
- Spend twice as much on hospitals

20 years and still fucking up gardening on a balcony, life is a journey

ah what was I thinking, these tomatillos never gonna set fruit up here with no pollinators at this height, yet another balcony fuckup.

essential cultural infrastructure

HORSE HORSE HORSE IT'S MY YEAR YO
*checks what that traditionally means*
ah fuck

This climate change which governments and billionaires tell us isn’t really happening is now not really happening much more.

Feel like Miranda from SATC calling time on my balcony: "I'm scaling waaaay back. To just lemongrass, spring onions, 4 types of mint, cacti & succulents, 3 types of thyme, rosemary, 3 chillis, curry leaf, tomatillos, a seasonal veg planter, & a raised bed in my downstairs neighbour's garden'

Although I am totally immune to wellbeing influencers and parenting inspo, I have been v weak on balcony-gardening youtube, I think they have harmed my life with unrealistic expectations 😂. At one point I had a worm bin, 2 composters and a bokashi 'soil factory' on there like wtf get an allotment

I have had 20 years of progressively more pathetically overattentive balcony gardening. At some point I caught myself saying 'and I'm going no-dig with this raised planter' which is like 65x40cm, and looking back, this was a sign that I needed to get a fucking grip and/or buy some actual land.

I always thought from your posts that you lived on a farm maybe

@ytsl.bsky.social on a hot streak reposting pictures of the hardest mfers ever to do it
