"You're really rocking an Up the Wahs ensemble" I said to someone at the library wearing a Wahs jumper, shoes, skirt, earrings, cap, and draped in a Warriors flag. Much respect. Big Wahs Energy.

@exlibrarykris I agree and you have certainly been one of the people I've loved to encounter here. Aroha nui

"Mostly I go to the library for books. But sometimes I go to exist in a comfortable, peaceful, welcoming space run by people who actually seem to know what they are doing". Library customers are the best! Library aroha on display at Te Hāpua: Halswell Centre.

@katbhave And a cuppa!

@kebabette I needed a sit down!

Everyone's phones pinged here then a very sideways seasick motion. Hope everyone closer to the action is ok. #eqnz

Just got my weekly RNZ Saturday morning email and it says "After 21 years Kim Hill has decided to move on from presenting Saturday Morning. She’ll be leaving the programme at the end of November, but there are plans for her to return in 2024 for a series of long-form interviews."

BUGGER. rnz.co.nz/news/national/… I have actual tears because Kim Hill is a stone-cold fuckin' legend & can't imagine Saturdays without her. You're the best Kim. Haere ra.

@WORDChCh BUGGER!

We are heartbroken about this, but this does also mean she might have more time to come hang out at WORD... rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

#OnThisDay in 1972 the Māori language petition, with over 30,000 signatures, was delivered to Parliament. It asked for active recognition of te reo Māori in Aotearoa and for the language to be taught in schools. View the digitised petition online: bit.ly/467cThk

@rachaelking70 I thought some old person might sit there outside their house. I didn't try and move it, but probably fixed.

I thought this was a rando chair in Fendalton. But it is a cool piece of public art called Book by Fiona Gunn.

@MonzaGT Yes, on Kotare by Creyke.

@kebabette Is that by the uni? There were some trees cut down on Creyke Road a few years ago and students put chairs over the stumps in protest I think. They gradually disappeared until there was one left.

@bananag1 Yeah i have seen it a few times and wondered if someone likes to sit out there and watch the world go by. But a busy trafficy spot for that.
