TLDR - no snot colour doesnt determine viral vs bacterial. Yellow and green can be caused by both. Best differentiator i can think of for when it may be time to book doc appointment? Whether you are improving on day 4 or not. If no better by appt on D5-6 then antibiotics might be considered by doc

Omgosh guys! The New Kids On The Block just liked a tweet from 2014 and 10year old me is *losing her 💩* right now!

(It's archived on here. Your guess is as good as mine why they're liking it now. 😄)

Sad to hear that Raymond Hawthorne has died. Such an important part of NZ theatre history - he dedicated his life to the arts. (Not to mention being the patriarch of one of our great theatre families.) My condolences to Elizabeth, Emmeline, the rest of his family, friends and colleagues.

A quick “hello to new followers” intro post:

I’m purpurina, I do stitchy things and I write sometimes. This past year a lot of my creative energy has gone into horror/sci-fi audiodrama @observableradio.com (check us out!!)

Here are some of my horror stitches:

It begins. Again. (See below—Hegseth removes 900 books on gender and sexuality). My book—and the article I originally wrote—about the Institute for Sexual Science and the burning of books on gender by Nazis can show you where this goes next.
Don’t despair. #RESIST 🧪🗃️🏳️‍⚧️

I've just finished rewatching THE HANDMAID'S TALE ahead of the final season which drops on April 8th. (Neon in NZ) Such a beautifully composed series: visually stunning from start to finish.
Surprisingly, not as depressing as i thought it would be... 📺

I cannot wait!
I saw TALK TO ME in a cinema and it was incredible. The tension was tangible. People crawling up their seats, whimpering... BRILLIANT.

I ❤️ that DARK WINDS is teaching me the odd Diné word.
It's incredibly cool that a language used as a code during WW1&2 because of its rarity & difficulty now features on mainstream TV.
How proud must the 170, 000 speakers of Diné be?
A beautiful language I would never have heard here in NZ otherwise

Thanks everyone who contacted me about my Mum and her phone.
I'm tracking down options for her at the moment - there are groups in ChCh.
When I've sifted through everything I will have a list.
Apologies if I'm slow in replying!

In the interests of not-murdering my Mum, does anyone know of a teach the elderly phone course in ChCh? @sprk.so, I'm sad to say (& this is despite me calling to get a suitable time to have someone help her transfer phones and show her the basics) were beyond useless & rude.

NZ Prime Minister has traced his lineage back to the late Bronze Age, then? 🧐

Christopher Luxon: 'I'm lucky, I'm an extrovert... I'm very wired by engaging with people'
He doesn't need much sleep, watches television in 20 minute chunks and goes to the movies with his bodyguards. The PM talks to RNZ about his cultural highlights.

My Mum finally upgraded her 10yo mobile. "I'm not impressed with the camera. The one on my old phone is much better. I took a selfie on this new one and it looks horrible."
High resolution is a bitch. 😆
