#Doom: The Dark Ages is a game that asks, “What if Doom Slayer had feelings… and a flail?”

It’s smarter Doom, with full armour for the princess and shirtless dad energy.

I've has a few pairs of hot chocs. The one i have now is just a little small for all day wear. My biv kid trashed all my others! Actually, all my kids steal my shoes lol. If I'm going to wear shoes, they have to be a bit special!

I think Allbirds aren't as good as they used to be - wearing through the hole in mine and it's not even been a year! I think I definitely need some Docs at some point. Just, because, Docs. (My dog ate my last pair just over 20yrs ago lol goddess I feel old saying that)

Comfortable shoes for all day wear - any suggestions?

There is this sweet little kid singing Frère Jacques in the library and it's SO FREAKING CUTE. Pure wholesome goodness.
You can distract me from my writing any time, kiddo!

thank you! I hope so too. I definitely still need the flexibility it offers.

thank you! Casual definitely suits me better than mean or shusshing, that's for sure.

Recently I applied for a job for the first time in 20 years. I had an interview on Monday and on Thursday was offered the role! (casual/on call, part of a team of fill ins).
It has been amazing to feel like I am still employable, and I cannot wait start as a casual librarian! #booksarelife

She Works Hard For The Money The government’s proposal to scrap the Living Wage.

She Works Hard For The Money
The government’s proposal to scrap the Living Wage. -NICK ROCKEL/ MAR 25

“I find the idea that we should stop paying people like cleaners & security guards a Living Wage utterly repugnant. You can’t build a better Aotearoa on subsistence wages,…”

I got my FIVE YEAR streak rewards over on 4thewords this morning.
That's so long. Gamifying words for me, obviously lol

It feels like the regular folk (me!) can have no predictions for how the world will be in five years' time now.
I could make educated guesses. But it's better for my mental health not to, I suspect.
