Found in a local discount store. I didn't even know he was in the movie. 🤣 Dude gets around.

Cornwall Park has become one of our favorite places to go here in #NZ. We go almost once a week for picnics and this time we were finding all the cool birds.

Congratulations to Libertine Pictures & David Stubbs & all the folk nominated in the NZ Screen Awards for Secrets at Red Rocks! If you haven’t watched it yet, please do — It captures the spirit of my novel and the wild south coast of Wellington beautifully. Well deserved all round.

Has anyone ever stopped to ask if Michael would like a breakfast burrito? These are the hard hitting questions. 🤣

Consider this. What if he's just hangry and you just became the hero of the story. 😁

Meme of Michael Myers from Halloween movies with words that say "Michael Myers is after you. You have to fight him off with the last thing you bought."

Red Bull incoming!....Oh shit. Now he has wings. Run!

You are looking at a white sign propped in the fork of a green leafy tree on a very sunny day. The sign is hand painted wood with red words saying: "Fire Engines". There are two arrows either side of these words pointing towards the fire engines, which are not visible, but you feel reassured because there's a sign. This is most important, because as anyone who has ever attended a rural fair knows, the fire engines are the coolest part of the whole thing and everyone wants to know where they are urgently. Beyond the sign you can see a big blue sky, green lush grass, and numerous people all wandering around stalls. Most of them walking away from the fire engines, possibly because they have seen the huge queue for them and have decided to get some food first. While looking at this sign, please imagine the sound of well over a thousand people having a very good time, small humans playing. A Morris Dancing's group's penny whistle and accordion and, most importantly of all, the WOOP WOOP noise of the fire engine siren going off in short bursts every now and then when someone is lucky enough to get to press the siren button. The smells in the air are of the nearby Brazilian roast meat truck, the nearby Dutch pancake stall that is currently brewing a very strong batch of coffee in traditional kettles, very green grass and sunscreen. You know, looking at this picture, that if you were here, you would be having a rather marvellous day.

🧵Spotted at a Country Festival in Aotearoa New Zealand:

Numerous tiny humans and their dads are lined up to sit in a fire engine and to make the BIG HOSE go. Both tiny humans and dads showing equal levels of excitement. This is a FIRE ENGINE. You don't get cooler than that. (1)

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Finalizing a few things for this very exciting announcement RIGHT NOW 👀👀👀

🧵Spotted While Cafe Writing and Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A sleepy man (30s?) is sitting in on a very dull business meeting.
But what is this?!
He's ordered a GIANT piece of cake?
Ah, that's more like it.
The meeting drones on but he has a cake shield.
The boredom shall not defeat him! (1)

Cannabis blunts back pain in 2 new studies Millions of Americans use weed to treat chronic pain, but there's little high quality research on whether it works. New findings suggest it can be effective for low back pain, on par with opioids.

Disability is one of the only minority groups you can join at any time.

Everyone thinks they will be the exception.

It won’t happen to them. They will “try harder” and overcome.

They think we’re failing.

It is not a moral failing and very few people will be the exception.

New Film Coming Soon!

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A young human (7?) is standing next to a bookshop.
Speaking into a walkie talkie, with a very serious expression he says: "Dad. I think it's DEFINITELY time for pizza. Are you at the pizza place now? Over."

Congratulations on the book. Hope the event goes marvelously.

🧵Spotted at a Beer Garden Record Store Sale in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A teen (15?) has spotted Hot Chocolate's single, 'You Sexy Thing'. He calls over a friend and says: "I've got something to say about this eh."
His friend says: "Your new theme song?"
Teen nods with a goofy grin. "Could be."(1)
