Introduction time!
I'm Bronwyn, newly joined from Twitter.
I post mostly about my cats, gardening, whatever craft I'm currently obsessed with, aro ace stuff, and NZ politics.
Also interested in gaming, books, art, and cooking.

I saw bitter melon at the supermarket today and because I'd never tried it and it looked interesting I decided to buy and cook it
I will not be trying it again.
I will not be trying it again.

WOW 🤯
The number of times a State of Emergency has been declared this year in New Zealand ALREADY matches the 2025 total.
It’s February.
This is what the Climate Crisis looks like.

Lol rotisserie chicken was a common meal for us when I was young and poor. A cheap and easy meal when you didn't have time to cook, it fed the whole family for days
Gen Zers and millennials are swimming in student debt and may never own homes, but they’re splurging on gut-healthy juices and rotisserie chickens.
The Booming Business of Luxury Grocery Stores
A new crop of gourmet grocers has hit the city, drawing lines of trendy TikTokers, MAHA-curious health fiends and Instacart devotees who want to pop in for a treat.

this was done intentionally - multiple ministers including Willis & Seymour bragged about how many jobs they’d cut in the first 12 months of their government. the reserve bank literally said it wanted unemployment up to control inflation. as with so many other policies this term, it’s social murder
Nothing says we've tuned a corner like unemployment being the worst since 2017. 🙄
Unemployment rate highest in a decade as it rises to 5.4% www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

🌱🇳🇿I'm having problems growing courgette and the Internet isn't giving me answers
I have only female flowers 🌻
It seems people usually have the opposite problem and the advice is to wait and it'll sort itself out
I've been waiting. It's been months. It has not sorted itself out
What's wrong??

This should be headline news across every outlet in the country. This deal happening in secret - let alone directly involving us in a fascist war machine - should be criminal, fuck.

Yup, it was me. Haven't done anything on it since covid, but as of 2019 it highly conclusively had nothing to do with the economy.

That was probably me- I did a bunch of analysis in 2019 that business confidence for NZ was least correlated to their economy in all the world, matched party in power & PM gender and length of office, and we would all be better just looking at other countries confidence.

I only realized these words were pronounced the same recently when I had to read it aloud, at the age of 36...
I was a fully-grown adult before I realised these were the same word, and the former still reads instantly as “gay-ole” inside my head…

Re-sharing for the new year, which is also an election year! If you agree, help us out by emailing your local MP asking why Labour and National have not yet signed this letter or committed to regulating AI deployment in NZ. #nzpol
We’ve published an Open Letter calling on NZ leaders to deliver risk-based AI regulation & a national oversight body. AI has huge potential, but harms (deepfakes, gendered abuse, bias) are real and rising. Read the Letter (and sign it if you agree!) #nzpol
