@whoowannaknow I’m still haunted by the second comment on my masters thesis

@EmmaVitz Broccoli

What is the food that was hardwired into your brain from childhood and you feel incomplete if you don't eat it? For me it's oats.

The former hostages reunite with their families for the first time in 470 days.

@sambgrover No I will NOT

@BasicBishopNZ Next step - infinite loop with the authenticator app

@JamesHalcrow I also read* the Odyssey. *used SparkNotes

I went to Takapuna Grammar and read the Odyssey there so that defeats your argument that knowing about the Odyssey is classist

Against my better judgement... I sifted through the comment section to see what gifts of feedback you had for me this year. From the good and the bad, to the downright bizarre. There's enough opinions on here to build a second Harbour Crossing out of sheer hot air.

@PronouncedHare Does she like/wear blue?

🙌🙌🙌

@JamesHalcrow Don’t forget Shane te pou

Looking forward to reading Simon Wilson and Ryan Bridge cutting edge hard hitting analysis of the election

@AndrewMeffan Been doing that in my head all day

@Monique_NZ Roll out the old-time-new-time maths.

Just an obligatory “gosh it’s light for nearly 8pm” tweet.

@David_Cormack Teach me your ways

I clearly lead too delicate a life. One week in and my delicate, carny hands have still got a stunning paint job on them.

@HdizzyDizzle I’m having one now on your behalf

I’ve got a head cold and I’ve finished my allocated V for the day but I just want another. Imma go get my water cos I know it’s better for me but I just really want another V.

Biden goneburger

@blogboynick Ahead of the fashion

@Monique_NZ Huh just realised I’ve always worn crew socks

The hardest obstacle I’ve ever had to face as a millennial is the transition from ankle to crew sock.

@henrycooke I must admit that covering the couple of inches of ankle I’d normally expose has been quite pleasant.

@Monique_NZ I am loving it so far. Nice to just be warmer tbh.

@RichardHills_ I wish I could laugh at this but it genuinely brings me so much anxiety because I don’t know. Plus I too have large (dancers’) calves so at what point does fashion overtake what is actually flattering?!

@Monique_NZ How far are they supposed to go up Monique!! I have large calves!

@RichardHills_ I’ve genuinely never anguished over fashion so much

@Monique_NZ I think it’s the mindset that we were forced to pull up our god damn socks for so long, we finally got our freedom to wear them around our ankles and now those darn kids shame us for them.
