Fave quote: "To notice each other, to BE noticed for what we care about - and then to TALK about it together! That's what it's all about." (from Julie Heffernan's Babe in the Woods)

Rode the Ōtākaro Avon trail on Waitangi Day. More than 27km on the bike which isn’t bad when I haven’t been on my bike for yonks. It’s a wonderful trek from Barbadoes Street Cambridge Green through to Pages Road in Bexley right by New Brighton.

"In the weeks following the purchase, she and her flatmates trained hard at “dildo target practice”. “It was mostly us just throwing the dildo at each other unsuspecting around the house,” she explains." thespinoff.co.nz/politics/05-...
Top yarn by @haydendonnell.bsky.social @thespinoff.bsky.social
National milestone: It’s been 10 years since the Waitangi dildo strike
When Josie Butler threw that dildo, she split our nation’s timeline into two eras: before dildo (BD) and after dildo (AD).
