So many amazing books in the NZ CYA Awards this year including five by my publisher @allenandunwinnz.bsky.social #booksky #nzcya #booksalive
Look what arrived in the mail! Only a little bent. So proud to be included in the shortlist! 😍 #booksky
He didn't mean to drop shit. His adult diapers just had a tear! 🤣
They just change things for the sake of change. I feel like they are spiteful people who just don't want Ardern to have any legacy. Sad eggheads. Work from a place of love, not hate!
For a man who doesn’t know where Albania is or what big words mean, he’s got his grudges lined up like ducks in a row hasn’t he? Is that a form of Paranoia?
The distinguished holding of the pipe to add gravitas to balance the youthful face is cute.
Bloody hell. That sucks. Instead of funding it they ended up scrapping it not long after that. But concept wise it sounds good.
When I was at high school there was a thing called the Bursary and it strikes me now that a scheme where highschool graduates can win money for uni with grades is brilliant! Was that how it worked? Kids from Huntly college weren’t told about uni so 🤷‍♀️ but if that’s how the boomers afforded uni. Wow!
I always wonder how old the coffee is in those pods... also it would take four of them just to fill a group head... which is what the amount I normally use for one cup.
I feel like social media is in self-throttling phase. I'm old, so I remember forums where you'd say something and intelligent people would say something back. Now you say something and 100 accounts, half of which are bots, pile in with idiotic replies. Life's too short.

WA we have all your homing pigeons. They are grumpy, shitty and ill-equipped for desert life. Half-dead, they are drawn to us like an apocalypse movie opening. Racing pigeons is not a sport. After seeing poop-spattered cities and Trafalgar Square, I realise they're not actually good at 'Homing'.
NZ Parliament and Brownlee need to take a good long look at whose land they’re standing on before they go shutting down parliament over a waiata! Fragile old white men’s egos deserve a good slap.
Upper class twits? He’s even too thick to be embarrassed by his own ignorance.
Xenophobia and xenial? Xenial would be a great word for a baby to learn in a xenophobic world! After years of xylophones and xrays it’s time to expand and words that start with Ex are cheating. We could introduce the Gen wars. Grandma is Gen X that’s why she surfs and rides a motorbike!
Exactly. Youth crime will surge. When you shut most of a generation out of society they will be angry. I had no education or money but at least there were jobs and eventually I could afford rent, or a car, not both. As a teenager I didn't think I'd get anywhere. We were the dregs. No education even.
I grew up in poverty when the education system was in shambles but I feel the old anger rising at saying kids are getting a 'free ride!' There's no free ride for young people. They start out with educational debt, no jobs, no affordable housing. Without rich parents they are munted!
The sea of red for the red line looked good!
Absolutely. Jane is the best of humanity. Unfair she’s gone and absolutely shites live on.
In my system, refunds go faster if you process a larger payment before you do a refund. Then the money is there with card processing to be used immediately. Otherwise they draw on your bank account and that slows things down. So it’s worth waiting a couple of days for the next payment to be due.
A lovely evening down at the river.

Dancing in confused circles with kids helps them grow up to be fine people and is a lot more fun. Bots are mediocre sychophant suck ups full of erroneous information that can’t even answer a question! 😩
