[updated message] Just as an FYI (if it wasn't obvious), my tweets are my opinion only and not that of any current or future employer (long story here, can't get into it, insert legal stuff). Any offence caused is by me or my cat, not my employer. Aroha nui 💕

@RevRichardColes @paullewismoney I defer, naturally, to Rev Coles' expertise, but I understand that only two of the cardinals present belong to religious orders with a vow of poverty. We'll also see variation in dress from the Eastern Order and Dominicans who have different habits (in both senses of the word)

Just a glance confirms here are 133 men who take their vows of poverty seriously.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary All these years later, I joined Twitter because I was studying SciComm by distance learning from Otago and thought I should get more active on social media. So led my downfall lol

@Tiare_MP It's a me in the wild! Glad we could have you on the only art deco / grade separated / light rail transport available. Someone got on yesterday and said "objectively the best form of transport". Today I was on in-traffic light rail - with no affect on traffic flows!

I found Auckland Light Rail

@2ETEKA awww diddums

Doxing for clicks is all the media have left (and I do mean left). No wonder 75% of the public distrust the media. Person A is a private citizen who brought to light the disturbing and PUBLIC social media posts of person B, a MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT who they shield and give an easy ride to, yet they go after the messenger. Just more reason why MSM is dead. Their biggest hit against me, is that I am a NZFirst voter anyone who follows me clearly knows I my voting preference. It’s in my Tweeter bio. I like how they picked out the saltiest tweets to stir up controversy. Hear this bozo’s, it’s X, you’ll find thousands of the same sentiments expressed on any given day in NZ. I’m a proud New Zealander and I do not regret standing up for what is right, I do not regret exposing a public interest matter, and I won’t be stopping tweeting about issues, or offering my opinion on subjects that I know many good kiwi’s support me on, and I would encourage you all to also continue doing so, don’t let them win. thepost.co.nz/politics/36064…

@TheGradyConnell I've been meaning to give them a try. My supermarket doesn't have them yet, and only 1/4 dairies near work seem to have them

I have now tried both of the new V Riise’s Both are very nice but mandarin is definitely more my taste, they aren’t very sweet which is a nice change.

@TheGradyConnell You do that yourself or get someone to do? If you did yourself, then that's amazing and I wanna learn how

Out with the old. In with the new (fabric)

For those in that world, FYI Graham Stewart MNZM passed away yesterday at 92. One of the founders of MOTAT, originator of the Old Time Transport Preservation League, NZH photographer, author of 29 books on transport history, father of tram preservation in Aotearoa.

Shout out to David Seymour and the Ministry for Regulation for making me work over the summer holidays. There really should be some sort of regulation against January submission dates…

As we get ready to ring out the year we just had (oof), please enjoy a preview of what we did this time last year: youtu.be/IdJ6mpA4MS0

@TheGradyConnell I think our go-to is a mixture of cheese & crackers, scorched almonds, dips maybe with sliced veges, in summer perhaps sliced tomato and basil with slices of toasted baguette, in winter perhaps bite sized sausage rolls with chutney.

Any ideas for cheap/easy pre dinner nibbles for 6-8 people?

Best views of the city! We'll ring out the old year, pile onto the roof for bubbles and Christmas tarts and fireworks from the SkyTower across the road, and then ring in the new year! 🥰 #campanology #bellringing #changeringing

Mōrena te whānau. Wishing you a great Christmas from the belltower 💕 youtu.be/534XsI5z-IE

Please enjoy this tribute as a wee #TramTuesday Christmas gift 💕

Good to see this leadership from our govern… oh wait… Z Energy?

Polynesians had settled an area the size of Russia before the British could even cross the English Channel. But the anonymous X accounts of this world insist Polynesian civilisation was primitive.

Kia ora koutou from Tāmaki Makaurau in beautiful Aotearoa! If you want to become a kaitangi pere like me (or even a full blown crazy campanologist also like me) or just a fun group activity, let's kōrero 💕 🥰 #campanology #bellringing #changeringing

@TheGradyConnell Well that's certainly lovely! I'd have probably designed the installation different, but such is creative decision making!

@spil030 Like this?

What a Christmas gift, wouldn’t mind light rail under my tree this year!
