Yea that’s right I’m the pope now

I mean it’s also in your toolkit to start yodelling, go all in

No question

A man says "there's so much hate in my heart." He picks up a Flying V and says "my only instinct is to write incredibly hostile riffs." Another man comes in and says "I'd like to listen." They both have a wonderful time.

CBAT!!!! burned into my brain

Its Not A Phase Mom - Underworld Tavern, Wellington Its Not A Phase Mom, Underworld Tavern, Wellington Sat, 08 February

Pōneke, if you feel the need to scream the soothing lullabies of your disaffected youth tonight we’re playing!

It’s February in Aotearoa NZ… here we go!

I hate this, my least favourite way to wake up! I started sleeping with a pillow under my ribcage to give my shoulders space (if I roll over I no longer lie full force on my own arm) which has helped prevent it if that’s at all useful. Hope you can get some rest today

Noooooo 🫠

Howdy?

I read this as “post mortems can be solved with…” and it took me on a bit of a journey

I am BEGGING you to use Alt Text. Alt Text is where the humour happens.

Me, lighting another bridge on fire: Y’all are dying on hills?

Make 2025 the year you ask orgs sharing blatantly AI images on their social what their climate policy and goals are and where their use of AI falls under that...

I have now checked it out and it seems great!

I’ve had Partiful recommended, haven’t tried it out myself but might have a look!

Some people think that time is linear. Others that it's cyclical. Personally, I think you should start a union at your job.

Take back your attention.

That’s weirdly a familiar wheelhouse

I know :( i hit pockets here and there, but we still have the benefit of a very big ocean and you guys are well into a whole different place. We need to do what we can to help from here, including fighting the spread

And honestly, they’re not really options, and it’s not an “or”. We need to do both, and we need to do them together

It was a movie set, they were packing it up, as we kept walking I spotted the small signs. We still didn’t slow down or talk until we got home. Even strangers we met later talked about it. Symbols mean what they mean. Today isn’t a movie set and I think we have eyes on how close it is. Two options.

No one stopped to ask what they were, if it was real, discuss what it could mean, offer an alternative interpretation. Dead silence, everyone knew, two options: get to safety or fight

I’ve never felt a whole street of people snap so immediately into laser focus - no one reacting outwardly until we had eyes on the threat, unspoken agreement to act normal together until we knew if it was far enough to escape or close enough to fight - not “is the danger here”, only “how close”

I was in Gdańsk in October and one warm, clear evening we were walking home when we turned a corner onto a new street and suddenly all the buildings around us were adorned with bright red swastika banners. Yesterday felt exactly like that

BEST NEWS (and great timing as Feb approaches)

We're faced with an increasingly bold and dangerous political movement that says so many of us do not matter.

Self care is a rebuke to this poisonous ideology. Do it out of spite, if nothing else.

You deserve care. You deserve joy. Outlive the bastards.
