An Ember in the Ashes - Wikipedia

I really enjoyed this series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Embe...

The lead character is awesome.

I can’t get over how ridiculous the UK is. So much nonsense. I have never felt uncomfortable around trans women in changing rooms, toilets or swimming pools. And anyone who says they do is lying.

As an aside, I’m surprised how silent the MRAs and an “not all men” reply guys are on the fear mongering attempting to be whipped by Sex Matters. Surly they want to quash the idea being put forward by Sex Matters that men exisiting in public spaces is somehow inherently dangerous and threatening.

Happy birthday for next week, Ewan!

Ah, the joy of freelance life. A couple of 2026 funding pools have just dried up, so if anyoneʻs interested in a project with a Wikipedian, now’s the time to get in touch. www.rove.wiki

Not to be weird about it, but for a few brief seconds being in grain like that would feel amazing I reckon.

I’m at a King Missile gig! Someone tell 90s me that one day in the future I’ll be at a King Missile gig!

Whoop!!!

Paki has experience working in Council, and Simon and Paki both had ideas about the building of housigg ng around where all the car yards are and making that area more vibrant when the Riverlink is done.

Karen has been super accessible this campaign. She or her supporters are at the Saturday market every weekend and happy to chat. I also met Paki Maaka and Simon Edwards at the markets and had a chat.

Everyone is very focussed on the changes that the Melling River Link will bring about.

In my home office I have a metal filing cabinet and honestly, I think it is by far superior to SharePoint.

I have no idea where any of my files are saved anymore. It is THE WORST! And because I have a few different Windows accounts (one for uni, one personal, one for a charity I’m the chair of) all the logging in to view files is a mess.

And only two of the Mayor hopefuls have so far responded a question about bringing back the Christmas Candles.

I voted in the Hutt! I voted for Kaz for city wide councillor. She come to my ukulele school events and runs the local fruit and vege co op. She’s a great public speaker and cares about our community.

Forgot to add the years!

My friend Simon made this delightful music video. So damn delightful.

This is delightful!

Everyone on this show is a walking personification of a live, laugh, love wall decal.

I have reached the stage of having a head cold where I am binge watching Love is Blind. Let me tell you…. I HAVE OPINIONS.

Aww poor buddy.

Just told Ash to start calling me the Don around the house.

I’m home with a head cold and reading The Godfather. What a book! What a story! Not a likeable person in the whole thing and I’m completely absorbed by it.

I miss the days before the internet when being edgy at school was painting your hair into a Mohawks with acrylic paint in the art rooms at lunchtime and piercing your own ears.
