1. Aotearoa New Zealand friends and colleagues 🇳🇿,

Logistics for my February trip are coming together. I'd love to meet more of you and/or talk with groups of interested colleagues about AI course and teaching in a ChatGPT world (thebullshitmachines.com).

Right now, my schedule is as follows:

Hey #lazyweb trying to source some Tant origami paper here in New Zealand - any tips?

YouTube video by You, Me, Everybody Band You, Me, Everybody - The Rest of Us - [Official Music Video]

Did you catch www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKfM... when we released it?

I had run out of contacts so you get to see me in my dorky white glasses. I look like an unemployed aging storyboarder for toilet paper commercials, unsure if he'll ever work again.
My Deering Julia Belle banjo looks great tho!

I went out onto street, such avatar, back to book on roof

Yes

1 - never had an encyclopedia collection

Second story fireplace, no stairs, no floor, no roof, bold architecture, pretty tiles.

Alright, that was my first in Wellies that I've felt since moving here, also first in this 'ere place where I lay my head - good test run eh steel?
*glances apprehensively at the steel strengthening*

You might have seen that Siouxsie won her legal battle against the UoA, but even after the damages were awarded she ended up massively out of pocket.

So she's asking for help - There's been lots of support already, which is cool to see - Siouxsie deserves it!

Excited for this!!!!

A photograph of a knitted banner, with loose wool tails and still on the needles - which says "Democracy Knits by Louise Hutt" in shades of green on a white background

A clothes line of pegged hats, in different colours which all say "VOTE" with printed process photos underneath of all the places the hats were knit, and a mirror nearby

A photograph of Louise, speaking to a crowd

A knitted 'VOTE' beanie on a mannequin, wearing a pair of white sunglasses. In the background are "Louise Hutt #1 Hamilton West" corflute signs.

A few little snaps from the exhibition - I talked about how 200 years ago, I wouldn't have been able to vote, let alone be elected to city council, how we value "women's work" (both in the age of pay equity being cancelled and crafts as art), and how many women fought to be able to vote

Stunning thread!

I noticed the Department of Public Health, University of Otago, Wellington, has shared its respiratory infection protocols

State highway 1, crossing south bound over Cuba street, I know the next left is Marion and she points me towards home.

NZ homes is they are not built for dry
"The resident just needs to do X, Y, and Z" - but that's not the root cause!

NZ has no political will to fix this

EVEN SO.... I'd like to be able to help people get their house dry and healthy without getting a swarm of "how dare you blame the tenant" replies

Hey team, just recently I quit my day job so I can concentrate on being The Sewphist properly.

Just after I hit the milestone of 300 completed orders through my website. It’s taken a decade or so. So I set the stretch goal of hitting 350 by the time I turn 50. Doable, right? This is my job now…

Plant lying on its side and its empty pot lies behind it.

Mayday carnage in Wellington this morning, 160kmh gusts = wind blowing pot plant out of its pot. Locals be like “what wind?”. Will try to be more local.

Perfect, order placed - just what I lacked in my new kitchen.

Apartment giving off sweet rain-on-the-roof vibes today

We just toasted our new life in Te Whanganui a Tara.

Just sold the house so I’ve got two weeks and one day to pull off a move to my very dear Pōneke / Wellington with my four lads. Wish me luck finding our rental and if you’re down there, look me up soon!!!

My corporation? Thievery.

Go for a wander along the top of the Geraldine downs (if you want big landscape shots)

Awww still cute as!!

My Nonno had a Fiat 127 and he got me to drive him on these crazy, narrow, windy Tuscan road up the valley to the village he was from in it. Told me I drove so well he’d leave me the car! 😅 I did not get the car (I did live in Scotland) This ad reminds me of the driving sensation 😂
