ata mārie i'm up early on sunday to prepare for air travel the birds are chirping and the kitties are fed and i am sipping a moccona with a hint of caramel and the uber is booked

occasionally i become unduly peeved that i can't gently file down the edge of a slightly ragged tooth in my mouth at my home by myself. or can i?

how grateful i am to be in a position where i can enjoy a 2hr yoga workshop, a nutritious brunch, and expertly prepared coffee on a saturday. the sun is shining in that lowered autumnal way. i have a headache, but it wanes.

oh, cool, the bus driver who listens to cooked talkback radio is on today

i'm heading up to ōtautahi shortly to work with my chch colleagues a bit and also to visit my lovely friend/ex-step-mum. it's gonna be great! step-mum friends are the best! and the office in cashel mall is super luxe nice. i must make time for my tuna friends, too. that river sings to me.

the star of my lunch was braised leek but now i'm thinking about roasted chicken

I signed this today - why wouldn't you?

This government is thinking things can't get worse and six hours later they're rushed through legislative change to halt all current pay equity claims, and make it harder to lodge new ones in order to ... checks notes ... save money. 🤬 They care about NO ONE.

you know, i was pretty bummed out that SINNERS was almost half a musical. it was marketed as a horror film but man it took a very fucken long time to get to the horror. and then the vampires were singing too?! i hate musicals, man.

it really fucks me off most of all that a party which won a small proportion of the total vote keeps doing all this big, offensive, undermining shit. fucken scumbags. plastic bags just filled to the brim with filthy slag and e. coli and cow shit just trying to poison us all.

met gala? MET GALA? gtfoh

hahaha my ulnar nerve is being a little bitch. have you ever shampooed and conditioned your hair with a numb pinky and ring finger? it felt so wrong. and now as i type i am thinking i need to not be in this position. see i think i store all my hard feelings in my forearms.

there's a cracking good half moon and i can tell there's epic earthshine but having astigmatism sure fucks that view up eh. still, never stopping looking up there it's still gorgeous

if all the companies that send me marketing emails could forego the constant mentioning of the impending arrival of "mothers' day" that'd be great.

hey, hi everyone. this is a reminder that intersex people exist. they're the I in the LGBTIA+.

read at maggie's for lunch and this book by han kang made me feel things

the council put some lil plantings in the beds of the plane trees in the octagon last year and now that we're in autumn there are little pink and white and fuchsia flowers popping up there peeking through the gathered dry leaves. it's quite nice.

monday morning in the office but i'm still in the weekend. i went to rally, i went to the art gallery, i went to the cinema, i went into my dreams, i went into a cafe, i went into a book. i wrote this while a woman took pictures in the art gallery with the shutter sound at full volume. #poetry

saw SINNERS.

i may have gotten 'too' stoned but i am keeping well hydrated

sometimes i look at the ufo subreddit and it is pretty funny how there are apparently people who still have faith in ufo photos in this age of photoshop and ai and all that shit

oops i used my "weekend budget" already to buy seasonal sale books from giramondo goddamn can't help myself

friday afternoons in the office are cool. big can of beer, low rider by war, tidying up, just grooving on it.

just had a flashback to one of my dreams last night. i was on a balcony somewhere and there were hummingbirds. and i put out my finger and a bird came to sit on it, and it was incredible. i was with someone and they were like "no don't touch them" but i was like "no they want to sit" and they did.
