Yesterday I learned that the US Navy has a tiara option for female sailors to wear in dress uniform and I for one think they are missing a huge opportunity for recruitment by not making this more well-known. I did not know the Navy had tiaras when I was picking my service branch. I feel cheated.

Voting for Māori wards. I wish I could vote for @misswhanau.bsky.social too. It's a sad list of contenders for Mayor. It's never been more important to vote in support of tangata whenua. And, to vote in general.

We don't talk enough about how any contact at all with the criminal punishment system can destroy your life. The arrest, the court dates, missing work and other associated costs etc... People who aren't proximate to this really have no idea.

Some time last year (I think), I read and posted about "Chums" by Simon Kupar, a book about the cadre of Oxford Etonians who have taken over the Tory party and (at the time it was written) the UK.
One of its key points was about the Oxford Union. 1/

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, it’s easy to id; but I’m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound

Is anyone else hearing this in Miette's voice?
oh so it's illegal to have friends now, is it? it's cancellable to send your friend nice little birthday notes? the woke mob has come for poetry? for nice little drawings to your buds?

Based on my last two reposts, does the British government now officially consider North Carolina to be a terrorist state? Just curious.

I predicted exactly this... (well I thought it would be showing a Palestinian flag, but close enough)

Police in Canterbury today informed a protestor that the phrase "Israel is committing genocide in Gaza" could be considered a declaration of support for Palestine Action and therefore a terrorism offence.

A bit of a long shot, but I'll ask anyway:
Would anyone be interested in playing D&D online once a week or fortnight in the evening?
