Touching this bird can result in numbness & tingling in extremities. Eating it can result in paralysis or death ☠️.
Let's talk about neurotoxic birds 🐦.

Overseas comedian making a joke about Kiwis not having a chant.
Then someone in the audience sings out Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi and the whole audience shouts Hi aue hei in response.
So the comedian tries to learn it.
Good vibes, real kiwis.

My brother did not ask me to do this, nor did he know I was going to, but I made him a mashed potato volcano for his birthday.
The number of potatoes this required was shocking but otherwise it was relatively simple to do. A side effect is a freezer full of leftover mashed potatoes.

My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

This cat was given a ‘community’ award. But not everyone was happy
Complaint made that honouring Loki the cat detracts from the work of human volunteers.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.
