I don’t have a whole lot of advice for people younger than me but the earlier in life you stop worrying about what other people will think and just wholeheartedly enjoy the stuff you like the happier you’ll be
One thing people kind of tell you, but not really, about middle age:
One day you'll be like "oh [thing] looks fun but people will think I'm a loser" about a thing
And then you'll say. Wait a second.
Fuck 'em

Dylan: nice to have a little spoon this morning
Me: ... oh yeah that's because I woke up when you went to the toilet and I just felt like someone was standing in the room watching me and my entire body went cold and I needed a hug.

For tonight's dinner I pulled out some leftover vege stew, vege soup, beef stew, and Mexican chicken soup from the freezer and then made cheese scones.

Luxon thinks we need a "mature conversation" about selling state assets... But I don't think he really means that, because a mature conversation would look at the history of failure and the shortsighted focus on profit ahead of public interest.
He wants a conversation where we agree with him.

My goal this year was to read at least 100 books, which I've done, but next year I think that rather than a certain amount of books my aim will be to read every day.

Post you from a different era
This would have been late 1990s when we went to Rotorua.
This is me and a friend after we beat my boyfriend and his sister in a race through the big wooden maze.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point
