Miss Appropriated
@distantduck.bsky.social
Kiwi in the UK, described by British MPs as “cheap foreign labour”. Sweary leftie into travel, books, geeky wee moments, coffee, gigs. Ex-fundie. Cis ally 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. Curious about the green slimy thing looking over your shoulder as you read.
It’s got leaky building syndrome written all over it

Wait, what?! People spend that much money for… oh ffs

To be fair, over here these tins (or the bags) or so ubiquitous you can’t escape them. It’s essentially first come first serve but passive aggressive, because thst’s the British Way. No one will ever take the last one, no matter what it is, because *that’s* rude 😂

That’s a time honoured tradition, especially in offices. Often you’ll find someone who likes the ones no one else does (fudge, coconut), but I don’t think anyone’s bothered if you chuck the gross ones.

When I was a teen in NZ the phrase was “absolutely trolleyed”. I’m curious what that’s evolved into now
December 14, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Or “utter” or “total”, e.g “you’re a total park bench”

Congrats!

Christmas Unicorn tends to be the one i pop on shared Christmas playlists with friends and the reaction is always “what IS this?!” I love it.

Thank you for your public service of watching this so we don’t have to. Sounds like the best actor was the kaiju.

I’ve seen a ballet of 1984 that was more true to its source text than this movie

Agreed! I’ve only started reading queer romance this year (thanks, post-viral fatigue!) but I’ve enjoyed the way they’ve got a larger, blanker canvas to work with when it comes to what a relationship can look like. It creates the tension but also really lovely, novel dynamics and I love it.

As a Kiwi descended from European colonisers I cannot *wait* to slap the name of our country, Aotearoa, out of his Too-Racist-For-Apartheid mouth fast enough. If there’s less pākeha (non-indigenous) peeps, good! Hopefully because we’ve finally given land back, ffs.

Aaah I see, thank you for explaining that. I’m so sorry ace peeps have had to fight for that, I completely get why you’d react that way. That word is hard-earned, wear it with pride ☺️ oh man… terfs can absolutely get in the bin.

Branagh is a whole thing on his own 😂 for screen adaptations I consider David Suchet canon becuase he’s just brilliant 🤩

And their posts are always retweets of someone else’s stuff

Yay! I don’t know why my brain didn’t include ace peeps as queer but you’re so right! I’ve often heard queer as an alt for gay, although I know it’s sometimes used much more broadly.
