Pākehā. She/Her/Ia. I'm AuDHD, Queer & perimenopausal. Doing my best to fight racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia & ableism. Honoured to be tangata Tiriti in Aotearoa ❤️🤍🖤
To help my #SecretSantaAoNZ ...

Here are some pictures that give a sense of my vibe 😊

🚫 I do not tolerate spicy food - I have super plain & pasty Pākehā taste buds

🚫 I can't stand passionfruit, both the taste as well as the scent

🚫 I dislike coffee as a drink & stuff that is coffee flavoured

🚫 Metal necklaces give me a rash on my neck

Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

I play Pokémon Go & enjoy playing word puzzles online such as Minute Cryptic, Connections, Strands, Waffle and Wordle 🔠

I love crafting, especially papercrafts, but haven't done a lot lately due to Perimenopause mixed with Autism, ADHD, Anxiety & Depression, stuffing up my brain 😞

I don't wear jewellery other than my wedding & engagement rings on my left hand, a couple of silver rings on my right hand, and occasionally a badge or an enamel pin (it's mostly my bag or backpack that wears the badges & enamel pins I own!) 💍

#SecretSantaAoNZ
Going to move this question for #SecretSantaAoNZ forward a few days since it's come up.
What jewellery do you wear? Necklaces? Bracelets? Clip-ons or pierced earrings? Rings? Anklets? Arm bands? Gold? Silver? Pewter? Copper? Or plastic like Hoggle?

I collect lots of Pokémon stuff - figurines, plushies, stationery & stickers, as well as the actual collector cards 💛💙

I also collect blue & silver Christmas tree decorations 🎄

#SecretSantaAoNZ
Question time #SecretSantaAoNZ
What do you collect? If you were a dragon what would you hoard?

A PSA for the holidays!

And for Kiwis, I recommend @pepperraccoon.com- very cool tees, badges, and more (they make great gifts for friends and whānau overseas!)

My favourite colour is blue - in particular teal and turquoise 🩵

Runner up is purple - especially lavender and lilac 💜

I love shiny and sparkly things, but much prefer silver to gold 🩶

Today's question for #SecretSantaAoNZ
Especially great for all the crafting Santas we're blessed with when they're sleuthing.
November 15, 2025 at 3:09 AM
I love milk chocolate but I'm not a fan of nuts or coffee flavours. Salted caramel is a particular favourite 🍫🧂

Spicy food is a big NO but I love caramelised onions & cheesy garlic crackers 🧅🧀🧄

My favourite types of bikkies are shortbread, Danish butter cookies & chocolate chip 🍪

#SecretSantaAoNZ
Time for another question #SecretSantaAoNZ
What are your favourite foods? Least favourite? What can't you eat? What are your go to foods FOR MORALE?
Quote or reply with your answers.

We currently have four cats and five sheep (though the sheep aren't really pets!)

Here is a photo of one of our cats, all snuggly under a blanket and cuddling a little teddy bear, thanks to the caring nature of our 12 year old son 🥰

In case Alex's post is too subtle APOLOGISE TO TAMATHA PAUL THIS INSTANT YOU COWARDS
Just seems a little short while ago that various government politicians, and people acting as their media surrogates, were outraged and scandalized by, and poured scorn on, comments from younger women politicians for suggesting many people don't trust cops.

Highest levels of the force - filth.
Well, this story just got a lot fucking worse. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/jevon-mcs...

I'm in the minority here, I know, but I don't think this move is the right thing to do about online safety (at least, as a first - and only - step).

I got these gorgeous little Moomin biscuits the other day & I remember back in the good ol' days of AoNZ Twitter there was someone who loved Moomins - I can't remember who though 🤔

@foxylustygrover.bsky.social Do you remember who that was??

Okay Aotearoa Bluesky - as promised, lots of photos of my incredible #MWSecretSantaAoNZ gift:

We start with the amazingly decorated box, which if that had just been my gift, I would have been happily satisfied coz it's so gorgeous!!

I could tell the contents of the box were going to be good 😊
