when i worked in the english programme i nicknamed the rogue lifts in von zedlitz building 'bonnie' and 'clyde' and harry ricketts wrote limericks for them. turns out this is now university-wide. my finest legacy.

not sure who from #wellington is here anymore, but wanted to say that my glorious flat will be up for rent in mid March and it’s a goodie. 2 bdrm, Karori right by #2 bus, greenhouse and outdoor office, cat friendly, lovely landlords, $620/wk. DM me for more deets!

(also if there’s just one of you my current flatmate would consider staying for the right person)

although—stuck here for another two hours with no dinner and lounge wouldn’t let me get any food (a downstairs staffer had suggested I try) which was pretty poor. wouldn’t have cost anything to let me have a little food right on closing and would’ve meant a lot!

such a wonderful team on the ground tonight at Napier airport dealing with cancellations @FlyAirNZ — really appreciated their help!

@chocmilk honestly I got two absolutely stunning kauri ones for next to nothing on trademe! worth keeping an eye out!

Wellington people! Can anyone recommend a good place to buy quality solid wood bookcases? Now that we have our ~own house~ am keen to invest

there just won’t ever be a better album opener than gloria

tonight i accidentally said i’d “connected with” someone in a professional context and now that i’ve replayed that more than forty times internally i must jump in the harbour immediately

this is gonna get me out of my own brain for a few hours right?

🧵 The #TobacCoalition and thePoverty Mentality I was raised in poverty. Grinding, anxious poverty. When things got tough, my parents sold things. Clothes, furniture, the car, and eventually, our humble home. We didn't invest, save, or even know how to. We eked out a life. 1/

the hot cross bun flavour is the uncanny valley of chocolate. tastes more like a hot cross bun than a hot cross bun

there’s a woman in Minnesota who thinks my email address is her email address. it started with Valvoline car servicing emails but now I also get emails from a resort and casino in Welch, MN and the list is growing

honestly why is helena howard not being picked up for everything in the world?? bloody injustice

one of my friends told me today that people would like to see me if i came to a thing and i cried for a half hour bc that was a really shocking revelation

today I got to talk to a guy about linocut at work! it was neat! he wants to use it to illustrate children’s books! I showed him some by an NZ author who uses a little of that! it was a nice day

@toastoyevski this is just insanely good wtf

lots of contenders for most annoying thing from family this year but I think the winner is the bus thing. “so how long does it take to get into town?” “oh how will you get home?” and the almighty “how do you go home and shower before you go to the pub if you don’t have a car?”

trying to collect nice moments ☀️
