This made me think of Tobias Jones book, A Place of Refuge. I highly recommend it.
That is the most Welsh thing I think I've ever read.
And it's not dusty in here, I'm just crying, that's all.

Garden update: I've just had my first bowl of stewed green gages from my tree. It cropped a few years ago but possums got the crop overnight. This year therevwas lots of fruit but a lot have already disappeared before being properly ripe. 1)

A niche PSA but anyone in Dunedin who might ever want to apply to the DCC for funding for anything: there's a councillor workshop about the (never-ending) grants review at 1pm on Thursday 5th.
Pass it on?

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

A sad day. My beautiful old ewe, Mayhem, went to the big paddock in the sky. I bottle fed her and her sister, Mischief from 4 days old. She gave me twins, quads, and the most delicious milk, and I knitted and felted her fleece. She's lived a long and very spoilt life and will be hugely missed.

Oh Lordy! It's kakapo porn season on Bluesky in Aotearoa.
Three more #kakapo matings last night:
Whenua Hou:
- Nora 💚 Tutoko
- Pura 💚 Gulliver
Anchor:
- Toitiiti 💚 Deans
Great to see genetically important Gulliver mating, and matriarch Nora starting - her first known nest was in 1981! Here she is on her 2019 nest. #conservation #parrots

On quite a tangent, but this reminds me of the sun hat I was given for Christmas that's label said it was made for adjustable head sizes.
I always have trouble finding hats to fit. Where can I find me one of these, uh, "adjustable heads"

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

I've seen very little about the uprising in Iran.
The scale of the protests in Iran are absolutely unbelievable. Hard to quantify, but I've seen some speculation that this uprising is more significant than the 2023 protests (themselves the largest challenge to the regime since it came into power in '79.)

Nabbed the kea! I have a barley twist lamp stand that I've been searching op shops for a lamp shade. I very rarely impulse buy, but I think today I could do with some retail therapy.
I'm having a tidy-up, and I have one each large kea and kererū lampshade available. These are ones I prepped for an event I was demoing at, so can be purchased in your chosen configuration (pendant, baton or lamp).
Nab one this week for $175+PP (normally $200)

Today was awful. I'm going to make a generous single portion self-saucing chocolate pud.

Vulture capitalists, like our very own Mowbray Bros.
There are many “For Sale” signs in the Palisades—as well as ones instead promising, “This home will rise again.” @nancywalecki.bsky.social reports on how long a year can feel after a fire:
