I don't know you personally but I think you'll enjoy it. It's a very normal and grounded perspective on an insane set of circumstances. It's just someone calling it as it is and highlighting the toxicity of that world. I'll keep an eye out for your thoughts on it!

Have you read Careless People? It's like damn, it really could be possible to have a better world if these companies weren't run by these people or if governments just did their job and regulated lol :(

And then I read about Council dragging its heels and blocking housing density in Central Auckland near the CRL lines. What on earth is the point.

Some more views. Everything was designed by the architect: building and pavilion, early PATH network, furniture, lighting, cabinetry, etc. Such lovely attention to detail.

I think generally NZ has a lot going for it regarding digital capability and simplicity of communication. Some stuff they do better here like massages in private insurance lol but mostly I liked our offering and engagement approach

private healthcare sucks on this side of the world eh. idk if you ever had Southern Cross or anything back home but at least I found that easy to navigate and clear. App design, policy clarity, process for claiming - all so messy

There's a loss of context and incorrect weight given to cunt. From Aussies' flippant use to queers calling everything cunt and cunty. The use and meaning has changed. The virtue signalled outrage is a misdirection. The greater misandry is cutting women's pay and gaslighting like you're not.

But damn the standards at Three have slipped with the shrinking team. Consistently inconsistent audio quality, terrible video quality with shots looking over-exposed and at times, low quality. Even with a phone camera there's no excuse for this indoors and static.

It's crazy to have to point that out because it's a completely normal and sane response from Kiwibank, and an absolutely absurd position to take from FSU. Though as you conclude, it's effective content for the base and prospects. Wish ppl wouldn't cherrypick and give them credibility occasionally

I really miss the community I built on Twitter so I might get back into posting inane thoughts, things I'm learning, and little observations while I have more time. Who knows, this feels a bit self-indulgent YouTuber who took a break. But I'm a millennial on the internet, what do you expect?

While I am out of work, I'm really finding ways of filling my cup up.
- I'm journaling
- I've dived back into communication theory
- I'm reading more about industry
- I'm looking into new tools and processes
- I was in a short film
- I'm raving and partying
- I'm cooking more
This is the life?!

I know it's a super stressful time for so many people, and I wouldn't necessarily exclude myself from that - I can't live without work forever either.

The first 2 weeks off work have been *bliss*! I'm doing a bunch of self-directed learning, I've got back into the gym on comfortable hours, I'm having great conversations with friends, the weather's warming up, and I've been dating again. I'm kinda rediscovering what it means to be living again.

Does it suck from Labour, yes. Was it necessary to front foot it like that? Not really. Will it benefit them, likely. Reality is centrist voters will respond to anything that defends police because right wing have created an environment of fear despite falling negative statistics.

It NEVER made sense to me to have screens for everything. The other thing I'm super skeptical of is receding door handles. It just feels wrong...

And ofc she's related to the only other person I've heard of with the last name Wynn-Williams. I love Aotearoa
