I've been thinking about some sort of content collective idea for a while but never have the time or energy to make progress beyond this draft pitch. It felt like it could work quite well, though.
Feel free to take it / adapt it / improve it /share it / generally make use of this.
HERE IT IS:
Here to bring you several moments of joy: the first goslings jumping in the water of baby bird season 2026!

A man stands ominously dressed as Toad - in disguise to escape prison as a washer woman - from Wind in the Willows.
Itβs World Book Day so a good moment to reminisce about the time my brother - a teacher at a local primary school - went to school dressed as Toad from Wind in the Willows. Directed by Robert Eggers.
"Now now, don't be so hasty. All in good time."
Bluesky: "I appreciate the alt text on this."
Facebook: "Why do you take photos of sheep? You're weird."
Instagram: "Not interested. No music and they're not doing a dance."
A two-headed sheep who finds it hard to make friends due to the prejudices of the local population, who base everything on the surface and not the genuine goodness to be found deep inside.
I was in #WellingtonPrideParade today for #WellingtonPride festival. I'm now scouring other people's feeds to see what I missed.

Watching from the sidelines viewers could see the whole parade! I had good chats but only saw a small part of the splendour! π

Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.
What a guy.

"Turning 18?" in White bold text Enrol now so you're ready to vote! in black text. The text is on the top left of the pic on orange background which is darker on the top left corner and becoming lighter. Middle of the graphic is an orange guy wearing a blue and white stripped party hat, with his left hand holding the strings of 3 pink balloons. the middle balloon says "I VOTED" in black capitals. Below his left hand and by his leg is an orange dog. The orange guy is a known mascot or character used in advertising by New Zealand electoral commission. The orange dog is a relatively recent addition.
Pic of orange guy & orange dog we'll see between now and 7 Nov elections.

Prime Minister of New Zealand holds a press conference after the cabinet meeting at the start of the week. Parliament still in session. He is unpopular if you look at #nzpol skeets you will find out more
"He said the only polling he takes note of is his National's own internal polling which gets processed in the United Kingdom."
Who does National's internal polling ? #NZPol #AoNZPol
I think we need to bring out our orange man

Wrong country. Morgan is referring to 7 November 2026 elections for members of parliament in Aotearoa New Zealand. If this is like most elections since MMP, there will be negotiations untill there's enough to form a ruling coalition and they will then be sworn in by the gov-general.
I see NZ has supplied the latest edition of "American posters on Bsky don't realise other countries exist and have elections"
Argentinas very popular in some political circles β¦.

New Zealander, watching the cricket, posts on BlueSky: βOnly four more overs in this innings.β
Americans flood the replies: βTheyβre called outs not overs and there are only ever three of them per innings. Donβt watch if you donβt understand the rules.β
This. Is #nzpol opposition listening?

10 yr old son expressed over a few months interest in having input on some garden design around the house so I got this area sorted with some edges an levels for him to do what he likes.
Seems keen on low growing ferns & tufts of flowering plants like small hebe, armeria which all sounds good π³πΏπ±
