a woman says you can never have enough hats , gloves , and shoes

Alt: GIF from the Sitcom 'Absolutely Fabulous' of the character Patsy Stone (played by Joanna Lumley) on a TV Talkshow giving her fashion advice. This is "You can never have enough hats, gloves, and shoes." The host of the talkshow, sitting next to her, is played by Dawn French.

Today, 144 years ago, 1600 Crown troops invaded a pacifist settlement that was the centre of resistance against British colonialism. The leaders were arrested, the settlement sacked, the people violated.

For many in Aotearoa, November 5th is Parihaka Day, or Te Rā o te Pāhua: The Day of Plunder.

fuck fireworks and read this thread instead. don't forget the pākehā invaders also salted the land out of spite towards the end so māori crops would fail.

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty.

I've even seen the term "highly processed" thrown around, but again, what does this mean? Twice milled chocolate? White rice crackers (the rice is de-hulled, then milled to flour)?
All very well to say brown is better,but it actually has nothing to do with how processed it is (it's still processed!)

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 3d

Paturisation, de-hulling, milling; even mixing ingredients together to cook or bake is processing.
Focusing critisism on "processed" foods is completly misdirected, and is frankly a cop-out from explaining proper causation of certain foods.

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 3d

I'm interested by the term "processed food", because if you think about it, it just means something has been processed (duh), therefore pretty much everything we eat or drink is processed, unless you are on a raw diet (uncooked nuts, veges, seeds,meat). Once cooked, the ingredient is now processed.

Helpful! thank you 💕

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah, there's one there now that's $99, but I don't know what strains are good 😭 Emailed and getting the oil added to my prescription, and should show tomorrow, we'll see then! The 50/50 is very good value!

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

Okay! That sounds painless 😂 will reply to the text from Abe (which I assumed was automatic) and see what they can do

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

I didn't enquire, he was rather quick because of all the stuff to go through. How do you use the oil? I'm thinking if I get flower I'm going to have to do a whole lot of baking 😂

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

okay logged in to see and it's really expensive ☠️

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

@reverendjasmine.bsky.social just had my Calyx call, and I am good to go! I'm so excited to have this all easily available, I hope I can afford it 🙃

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

well, other end*

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 5d

knowing Auckland, it'll rain and be hot... St. Patrick's square is actually very nice!
tbh I'd be stressing a lot as well if I'd be going to the other side of the country 😅

When you download subtitles for a movie, and it just says "(Woman speaking Russian)" 🫠

imagine paying $2,700 for a headboard!

Screenshot from online store - Kara Double Headboard, a padded headboard with buttons, price shows $2,699

Me too! And a polio liquid vaccine‽
Maybe they thought one was enough back then?
I want to organise another one as well, plus another covid update 🫠 right now I'm having some trouble leaving the house - but better than leaving and getting sick 😂

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 8d

Another issue I have is getting to places to meet any cats. Most of them are in South Auckland, which is really weird... None nearby - so we'd have to get a taxi or bus or train far away in order to proceed 😭

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 8d

I really want to get a new kitten, but it seems all the adoption places in Auckland have only a tiny number available, or none at all... Some ONLY have a Facebook page - wtf‽ (I don't have, nor want, a FB account).
I'm so upset, I really want a new familiar to help keep me company...

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 8d

I thought power would surely be out for some suburbs.

I stared towards the Skytower for a little bit, hoping to see a strike, but I think I was too late and the storm was moving along.

zee @zeekidvicious.bsky.social · 8d

Very surprised not to see any news about last night's electrical storm.
I have never seen so much lighting in my life, I swear!
Came downstairs about 1:30-2am, and it was every second or two.
It was awesome (in the true definition of the word)!

Watch: This tūī speaks English – and it’s downright hilarious

Meet Prince Tūī Teka, Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre’s feathered chatterbox who has gone viral for picking up human-like speech and most famously repeating: “Who said that?”

Went to the park on Saturday to play some badminton.
In the tree next to us, a little tauhou/waxeye came to say hello. They seemed very interested in me (maybe the colours on my mask); it replied to me when I spoke to it, and it got closer, and closer, tilting its head to get a good look. Magical!

little green, brown, and grey bird with a white ring of feathers around its eye; it is chirping with its mouth open. It is standing on a branch with pink blossoms appearing.

Lil meowboy. Photo from my collection ca. 1950s.

Black and white photo of a white boy (tween or young teen I guess?) in a cowboy shirt and hat, looking seriously at a shorthaired white kitten he is petting. The kitten is sitting on a western style horse saddle and looks rapturously happy. It’s light colored fur and whiskers are luminous in the sunlight.

Another ridiculous suggestion by Microsoft Word.

Text "white houses", with blue lines under "houses", the suggested replacement text is "house's"; as if one were saying that something belongs to the white houses.
