Noah Reid deserves the world but we can start with singing the Canadian national anthem at the final of the World Series where his team is gonna win.

You might have seen that Siouxsie won her legal battle against the UoA, but even after the damages were awarded she ended up massively out of pocket.

So she's asking for help - There's been lots of support already, which is cool to see - Siouxsie deserves it!

Today I get to play my favourite sport; driving my father bonkers by supporting Ireland against the All Blacks 🤣 🇮🇪 🍀

Yoooo is this Tommy?!??!??

🤬 fully sick of brilliant women being driven out of public life by unchecked abuse, but at the same time don't blame a single one who does choose to leave.

This is what happens when you don’t have a metadata policy and you don’t enforce whatever you have.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Ads for planning for retirement villages with "I don't want to wait" as the theme songs are violence.

Dying at this picture which makes Taylor look like the gal who showed up to adult Halloween dressed as the Babadook

QP with a good seasonally spooky song, either in vibe or in lyrics, that isn't a goofy novelty song.

I miss Nicole Cliffe.

Emily (Emily Writes) and I drafted a letter to Andrew Little about his decision to appoint Ray Chung as chair of the CCO Review & Appointments subcommittee. We think this is unacceptable given his past behaviour. Here's a template for a letter if you agree:

Hey team - @siouxsiew.bsky.social's university spent > $1.5m defending a case that their lawyers largely conceded in court. This was a huge waste of public $$$, but despite Siouxsie's win, she remains out of pocket. Please support Siouxsie after she supported us: www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/852...

We bought lollies and only got one group of trick or treaters 😭🎃

FROTHING

I need you to know when Allan peed he lifted his front leg and I had to hold my shit together because we were meeting new humans. 🤣

I thought we already decided that segregating disabled kids out of mainstream classrooms led to worse outcomes for everyone? WHY ARE WE REINVENTING FAILED WHEELS? Oh. Profit. I see.

It's the year 2025/1935. I am not playing "are they white supremacists or just free speech enthusiasts but hmm for a very particular kind of speech" anymore.

If Erica Stanford has any sense of self preservation, she would throw this smug self-serving fail-upwards Pakeha statue guy under the bus. He has potentially wrecked her political career.

We took Zen to meet a pet sitter he's going to be staying with while we're away next weekend and her chihuahua maltese cross puppy made Zen look HUGE and his name was ALLAN 🤣I love it when dogs have normy human names. (Zen came to us with his).

God imagine stepping into an election rife with misogyny and sexual harassment and immediately promoting the misogynists and sexual harassers. Wouldn’t you be so embarrassed you’d never want to be seen in public ever again?

Turtles (on the left hand side) live in the sea, have flippers, are omnivorous and a flat, streamlined shell. Tortoises (on the right) live on land, have FEET, are vegetarian and have a dome-shaped shell.
