Mostly would rather be reading a book. Mum. Dog owner. Bird and plant enthusiast. The older I get, the more sweary I become. She/her.

To settle a troublesome discourse, I have provided here the most faithful and poetic possible translation of the beginning of the Odyssey. We male sex. We complex. We fake horse. We off course. We sail long. We hear song. We pig crew. We home soon.

@Becs Oh man. So much editing - at a sentence level and at a structure and plot level. People say the 4th book is their favourite, but it's so badly structured. And the final three books are a mess. JKR is also a mess. She needs a rewrite too.

Revealed: a gold mining company seeking to establish a massive industrial site in Central Otago back country via fast track procedures has a chair who openly expresses racist, misogynistic, climate change denial views. Not the investor #NZ should attract. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/361002…

@cath_nz Yes! Nasty sexualised gossip designed to diminish and demean was bloody appalling when it was directed at Tory Whanau, and it’s equally shitty when it’s about Willis or Van Velden or whoever.

@rob_rubsam There's definitely a case for more than one Austen novel though. I'd pick Emma and Pride and Prejudice perhaps.

@rob_rubsam Thomas Hardy didn't write three of them either. It's a very narrowly focused list. Classics, mid 20th century novels, western writers.

@Becs Yes! I'm rooting for Montreal. I'd really like a Canadian team to have a go at winning the cup.

Me watching the IPL: this is boring and unbalanced. Teams are just bashing 200+ most games and it's dull. Also me: Finn Allen!! 93 off 35! Brilliant stuff! I guess I'm just parochial.

@Becs I haven't watched a lot of hockey for years, but I'm really enjoying these playoffs. It's so fun to watch when your online cronies are watching too.

True. When I 1st started watching hockey in Vancouver, it took me a while to figure out how the puck moved around the boards. I'd be looking bottom left of screen and the action would have moved top right. But now I mostly know where the puck is even when I can't see it.
Brent Gunning@Gunning590

I remember the first time someone pointed out to me that in hockey you often can’t see the puck you just have a sense of where it is from years of having watched played it broke my brain. It honestly never occurred to me that I didn’t see the puck much I just knew where it was.

Am watching a replay of the Montreal Buffalo game. 1 minute 40 seconds in and two goals already. So exciting.
