They were playing the Jagged Little Pill CD at the Sallies opshop today and they got 1 minute 47 into You Oughta Know before it was abruptly turned off. Shortly afterwards REM’s Out of Time started playing instead

Oh the wee moon boot! I love this!

Got tickets to see The Mountain Goats next year and I am STOKED

My brain just dredged up the Buzz-o'Bumble theme 🐝 clearly humming in the background in the 40 (!) years since my family left the radio range of 2ZB

This sounds amazing! Hyper local museums with a fancy rock and a jar of teeth and somebody's butter churn

Thank you to Josie at the local art class for asking if I was still on Tw*tter and pointing out that nature was healing over here

Two unbaked Christmas cakes, round tins wrapped snugly in brown paper and string

Measured out the Christmas cake ingredients with a continuous song on the theme of “Remember you’re halving the recipe!”
Only had to re-weigh ingredients once.

Oh good grief

I ate your PLUMS and I cannot lie
I'm guilty and I won't deny
That when I found them kept in a pretty chilly place
yeah I put them in my face
and man, YUM, couldn't have enough
'Cause you know that my tum is stuffed,
But you were breakfast saving,
Your forgiveness now I'm craving

A table of food that somehow includes a beer glass of salsa and a giant ceramic cupcake cup

Mum’s retirement community had a little early Christmas “do” tonight and somehow they managed to collectively produce the most AI-generated looking food selection I have ever seen

I created this meme to commemorate the death of Twitter

Gif from BBC Sherlock “I can’t just turn it on and off like a tap”

Also the leader said “we are not doing literary analysis”

An inflated balloon in the shape of a cartoon sloth head. The sloth has a sleepy, tranquil expression and is wearing a stripy, conical party hat with a Pom-pom on top. (The sloth picture is from an online store and not taken while driving!)

Got into the completely wrong turning lane and had to do a complex re-route maneuver because the driver in front of me had tied a helium balloon shaped like a Party Sloth to their tow-bar. It was bobbling around like anything and I became Distracted and Entranced.

A colourful collage of leaves, doodle creatures and sprouting hearts. Collaged words say “shine” “love beyond measure” “soft heart of the world” A cozy illustration of a lady with a cat on her knee is wreathed in leaves

I went to a poetry workshop at our local little art centre and we read some Mary Oliver and I scribbled in my notebook and then sidled over to their collage bits instead

It is so nice to see everyone here!

I actually don’t feel as fine as R.E.M. led me to believe I would

Waiting for Mother Mother with the coolest kids in Auckland and their uncool parents

Did you know #kakapo are here too? They're the world's biggest and only flightless parrot, found only in New Zealand/Aotearoa. They're critically endangered with just 244 left. They don't follow the rules and do everything very slowly.... #conservation #parrots

I don’t want alerts for anything except the very largest front page headlines that would have a Victorian news boy shouting “Extra! Extra!”

@webstock.bsky.social I am finding everyone here from the bad old place and seeing you and “returning 2025” in your bio is a lovely wee spark of Hope in this otherwise unpleasant week ❤️🕯️

Gotta get prescribed antibiotics to get a brief taste of that sweet sweet extinct banana chalkiness
