Cake? Eggless, butterless cake.

We’re certainly living in interesting times. There seems to be an underlying tone of resigned acceptance that the world is fked and just try get along … or maybe I’m just tired.

Southland farmers struggling with exhaustion in wake of storm

📢 Rural Support Trust says fatigue is setting in for storm-hit farmers still relying on generators, as efforts shift from animal welfare to human well-being.

You can’t see me, I’m just hanging with the guys.

Help: need heaps more English teachers to do my survey so that the data is comprehensive. NZATE have put it on their FB & newsletters, I've emailed regional associations, Eng fB page. Here. Only 62 responses. My colleagues are tired/overwhelmed so I don't want to nag but how do I get more

Although child the younger does have a long and detailed explanation about a dragon (from the how to train your dragon series) which is both venomous AND poisonous.

Photo of kids book with “Définition Venomous means poisonous”

Grrr bad science! But my kids are well versed in the difference between venomous and poisonous, so they’re just learning not to believe everything you read - even if it’s in a book.

Can anyone suggest comics publishers in the uk that accept direct submissions? for adult/YA comics.

Why is there no “find my kindle” option?
At this rate I may have to clean the house. Hopefully not ALL the house. That’s a lot of neglect to sweep away.

We all have at least one. I work with a person who’s emotional support punctuation marks are the en-dash and em-dash. ChatGPT is making her life hard.

I'm of the radical belief that artists should genuinely be kind to each other. Other artists aren't your competition, we don't need rat race mentality bleeding into the art space. We've went through A LOT over the past couple of years already so please treat one another with love and compassion 🫶

Oh my! Past me left the lekie blankie on full tit before heading out to meeting. Past me is a LEGEND! Toasty toasty happy toasty.

@sarahlibrarina.bsky.social your ally I believe? 😁

For the love of fuck, Americans. No, NZ is not a good abbreviation for Nazi. We had it first and it's fucking jarring. Grow the fuck up. Nazi is already only four letters long and using it isn't going to kill you.

Is it too much to ask that people in political adverts are real, what they represent is real and they are there willingly?

No stock photos , no AI?

If you cant find one Woman, one Nurse, one Teacher to support your views enough for a billboard perhaps your views are fucked?

This is why I need a organisation wide teams chat. Just for memes and cool info dumps.

For those keeping track, the Campaign Company has now been involved in:
- Stop 3 Waters
- Rates Cap Campaign
- Anti Māori Wards Billboard campaigns

Clearly there’s some big money backers out there trying to manipulate local elections. Gotta ask yourself why that might be and who is sharing it!

Apparently the collective noun for snails is a walk, rout, or escargatoire.
Do we think it’s different it’s it’s carnivorous snails?
There may be conversations being had at work tomorrow.

I’m helping smallest with homework… thing I learnt:
The collective noun for tigers is a ‘streak' or an 'ambush' of tigers.

Teachers teaching music just blow my mind.

I used to buy industry mags for the advertising not the articles. Totally get it

Everyone needs to watch Bookish because I want another series. It's absolutely charming - murder mystery miniseries about a bookseller played by Mark Gatiss who solves crimes. He's living in the 1940s in a lavender marriage with the glorious polly walker.

Drat. My washing machine seems to have sprung a leak.
Upside … it’s currently only a partial leak AND my floors are getting super clean.
