Socialist fruit season has begun

I should go find our old CDs. Is that the version with the insult competition?

you may not like it but this is what peak cooking performance looks like

imagine importing butter to a country that makes so much of it it's destroying its own environment

Don't commit a crime while committing a crime 🤷‍♀️

This won't fix it but I'd demand a credit for it not working.

The cheese and honey tasted awful so I'm not surprised that butter would too. I honestly don't understand how they managed to make honey taste not like honey but they did 🤷‍♀️

Oh I think I have the Fanny version lol

Tbf it's advice that has stood me in good stead over the years 😂

I remember calling the NHS healthline for random kidney pains many yrs ago. The nurse said it would either a) go away or b) get a lot worse. So to take painkillers and to call 111 if (b) happened 😅😬

I mean this is almost more worrying as you might give the kea ideas 😅

"Horny on main" like yeah duh, main is the only account I have, why would I not be horny on it

It's almost like they're elected to represent a constituency or something 🤔

I saw solar being installed on all houses in new developments in Australia over a decade ago. It's depressing that we are so far behind here.

The editors sound, um, not particularly knowledgeable?

a review on Chirp of The Reanimator's Heart that says 1 out of 5 stars. I was not expecting so much gay sex in a fantasy detective story

I think I should use this as one of those enticing 1 star reviews 😂
If you want gay sex in a fantasy detective story, hit up THE REANIMATOR'S HEART, especially if you like autistic necromancers accidentally reanimating their detective crush, so they can solve his murder.

Images of an old silver 1999 Toyota Corolla for sale

You want a car that gets the job done? You want a car that's hassle free? You want a car that literally no one will ever compliment you on? Well look no further. The 1999 Toyota Corolla. Let's talk about features. Bluetooth: nope Sunroof: nope Fancy wheels: nope Rear view camera: nope...but it's got a transparent rear window and you have a fucking neck that can turn. Let me tell you a story. One day my Corolla started making a strange sound. I didn't give a shit and ignored it. It went away. The End. You could take the engine out of this car, drop it off the Golden Gate Bridge, fish it out of the water a thousand years later, put it in the trunk of the car, fill the gas tank up with Nutella, turn the key, and this puppy would fucking start right up. This car will outlive you, it will outlive your children. Things this car is old enough to do: Vote: yes

Consent to sex: yes Rent a car: it IS a car This car's got history. It's seen some shit. People have done straight things in this car. People have done gay things in this car. It's not going to judge you like a fucking Volkswagen would. Interesting facts: This car's exterior color is gray, but it's interior color is grey. In the owner's manual, oil is listed as "optional." When this car was unveiled at the 1998 Detroit Auto Show, it caused all 2,000 attendees to spontaneously yawn. The resulting abrupt change in air pressure inside the building caused a partial collapse of the roof. Four people died. The event is chronicled in the documentary "Bored to Death: The Story of the 1999 Toyota Corolla You wanna know more? Great, I had my car fill out a Facebook survey. Favorite food: spaghetti Favorite tv show: Alf Favorite band: tie between Bush and the Gin Blossoms This car is as practical as a Roth IRA. It's as middle-of-the-

When I ran the CarFax for this car, I got back a single piece of paper that said, "It's a Corolla, It's fine." Let's face the facts, this car isn't going to win any beauty contests, but neither are you. Stop lying to yourself and stop lying to your wife. This isn't the car you want, it's the car you deserve: The fucking 1999 Toyota Corolla. Google map of cars location

Never forget: 8 years ago a random person on Craigslist wrote the most effective ad for the Toyota Corolla, ever.

Yay for unexpected improvements 💗

Hello, I’m a community organiser who doesn’t read the news much.

I organise actions with volunteers. I train them to have important conversations. I identify trends within these connections.

But I don’t read the news that much.

If you can’t take the onslaught, take action instead. Volunteer!!!

We budget for cleaners (fortnightly) and it has made such a difference. They're also a lot more efficient at cleaning than I am 😅

Having both a) worked a job where I had to read a lot of material safety data sheets (incl for salt!) and b) almost died of low sodium, I can confirm that too much or too little sodium can be fatal. It's pretty hard to eat too much salt as an acute issue though, it's too unpleasant.

It's extremely disheartening to hear someone talk about the 'benefits' of their exploitative job when you know it's possible to have those benefits *without* the expectation to work stupid hours for low pay w/o any support. 😬🙃

(A reminder to set boundaries, and join your union if you have one ✊️)

Would it be possible to share a parking space with other motorcyclists to split the cost perhaps?

I have been known to say hello to a dog by name even when it's being walked by someone I haven't met before 😅 But I think if it's someone you have been talking to directly then it's good to learn the people names lol

Ooh are you going to it in wellington? I saw the posters when I was there.

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast captioned "Gaston today would have a podcast. And we know what kind of podcast"

Gaston: When I was a lad I ate 4 dozen eggs, every morning

Co-host: 4 dozen?!

Gaston: Raw. No seed oils from frying

Co-host: That's how you gotta do it

Gaston: Now that I'm grown I eat 5 dozen eggs

Co-host: That's what they call a pro gamer move

Gaston: So I'm roughly the size of a barge

Saw a tik tok where the guy says “you are too old to be praying for the downfall of people you hate, you are old enough to be directly involved” and I feel that’s the approach we need to take for the 2026 election fam. This horror show cannot go on.

We're probably getting pretty close to 700 science jobs lost over this term of government, directly linked to reforms/cuts. And believe me: the country wasn't overflowing with them to start with.

Got caught out by this myself and couldn’t vote in the 2008 election as I’d been overseas for more than 3 years. I even had to point out this limitation on overseas voting in a seminar given by a senior academic when I was a PhD student in NZ. They initially didn’t believe me.

A tumblr post from user nitewrighter: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Boss, it's the fascism.
