Please be okay pleeeeeeaaaase

I will be asking to remove 'Queer As Folklore' from the long list for the Polari Prize 2025.

Same thing with my daughter two weeks ago. She turned up for an interview, needed her passport, and having it with an f and her new name meant no conversations or discrimination to consider. Hired on the spot after years of being considered nothing

OpenAI claims new GPT-5 model boosts ChatGPT to ‘PhD level’ GPT-5's release comes as tech firms continue to compete in an effort to claim the world's most advanced AI.

Obviously a lie, since the definition of PhD-level expertise, standard across universities worldwide, is that you can produce original knowledge.

Give them hell

One please!

a sewing machine is sitting on a table in a room with a blue wall Alt: A happy young woman with a shiny new power drill

I had to replace a couple of door handles, but no new handles fit in the small holes in the doors. I skipped the landlord & bought a new electric drill with an attachment to bore a new hole.
What I didn't expect was for Ali to love it so much she's been doing my DIY. Making her happy is priceless.

That's wild, bastards need to give you a freebie. That's permanent now

Fuck me, he is exhausting

While we are on RUCs in NZ (they're distracting you from the failing economy), this from Instagram is bang on.

Apologies if you've seen it before

The stuff dreams are made of!

I assumed he was driving it. I assumed he was a twat. He owns a tesla

So the Tesla just swerved in the rain and hit a barrier? Lucky it wasn't a cyclist

They don't even pretend anymore. Fucking miserable bastards.

Even lost our GP just yesterday, retired 10 years early. No one cares. We get a ten minute meeting with the transplant unit every few months, and that's it.

Her doctor left the country, and because of the hiring freeze, she now has no doctor and no treatment. I'm doing her pallative care on my own.

It's not manplaining because my brain has turned to pudding from... life... and I have forgotten how to do things

That second flight would not take my weight

That is a lot. I don't know if I can do that

The toilet? Cooking by the bed? The fan extractor over nothing?

I don't know what I'm doing wrong on Bluesky. My entire feed is just politics again. 100%
Do I care about politics? Yes
So I also care about other things? Yes
Do I wish there was a place online that can just be fun and people stop to breathe, or share history tidbits, or just memes? Fuck yes

Ugh, now it's Monday? This is why I don't like doing stuff on the weekend. I spent the weekend renovating my eldest daughter's room, and I'm exhausted. And now it's Monday.

I would like to be clear. My writing doesn’t have em dashes because I use AI. AI uses em dashes because stunningly effective writers like me use them.

Some trans kids may kill themself because I banned their healthcare but that doesn’t make me a child killer I say as I nonchalantly wash the blood off me hands

That's awful! I hope she is coping okay.

Dawson has cancer? Dang

I used to work at an eye clinic, and yet only occured tonme to get hold of a gel this morning. Fingers crossed, it helps

Sorry, no, it's my other daughter. Ali does have eye side effects from her heart meds, but Adi has no conditions.

Every morning, my daughter wakes up with sore, swollen, angry, watering eyes. Her room is spotless, bedding is hypoallergenic. The room is dry and warm. No use of skincare before bed. She has no food allergies, no other allergies at all.
If anyone has reckons, please share.
