I see that The Post is continuing with its calculated strategy of trying to bully Green women out of politics.

Julie Anne Genter accused of ‘raising voice’ at Taxpayers’ Union volunteers
The Green MP say she had a “spirited” discussion with Taxpayers’ Union staff and volunteers. The union boss says it was more of a rant.

Update... new awful boss, work imploded, quit my job, got a new one, and I start at the end of the month. Fostering a greyhound, dad's not been well, and generally everything is Big and kinda hard. But this too shall pass.

Had a lovely 90 minute call with my sister and niblings, messaged a lady fostering a hound in Upper Hutt, et an apricot, and am going to go to Mitre 10 for seedlings now - leafies to replace the silverbeet I'm harvesting for tonight's dinner, and hopefully perennials. Seeking light, in a dark time.

Jobhunting. Looks like I'm going to have to take a demotion and decent pay cut based on what's out there. Lead and principal advisor level roles seem to want more than I have.

Daughter tells me she heard today that if you wear a band T-shirt (especially as a young woman) and a man says to you “name five of their songs”, the correct response is “name five women who trust you”, so I pass this on in case any of you need it

Life is weird and confusing. Today I found out some of the miserable and offensive detail of what's happening to my work this year, and got an unexpected and crushing diagnosis of advanced patellofemoral arthritis. I also scheduled an exciting visit to go meet greyhounds who need homes, but WTF.

I am resolved to be more present here, and hopefully less so in the Other Place. Here is very wholesome but can you not message people directly?

Hi Aotearoa Bluesky, I know there's a ton of petitions flying around, but, this one needs our attention. Shared on Twitter. No billionaires or millionaires sanctioned for tax avoidance but our vulnerable whānau & community are being attacked.

Oh, FFS, I think this dude used to be one of my baby advisors at WS. I remember him walking out of work with me once (rare), walking with me down the Tce, and asking me how to talk to women.
He loved Ron Swanson and said things like "I hate Art" and "I hate salad" basically all the time.

Were I confronted with this order as a public servant, I would simply and honestly re-frame any policies beneficial to Māori as based on need and keep going, because you know, they are. Make them say the quiet part out loud, (no addressing racial inequality) and then leak it to press when they do.

Some of my roses are so incredible at the moment. Remember Me, my most fragile princess, has two massive velvety blooms. The colours are extraordinary and she smells like heaven. She's delicate because she lost two good balancing stems to windthrow last season. Top-heavy and vulnerable.

Just got back from a 2 week holiday in the States with my sister and her fam, and I can barely think cos Time and Travel, but also my roses are irrepressible and I wish I had the skills to post photos right now.

I'm not very good at posting here, and maybe it's just Twitter muscle memory or my issue with letting go of things I'm emotionally connected to. But I'm working on that.
I just did two days of 30 year college reunion events that I sort of co-organised and my heart is so full. What amazing women.

Working from home today, so I'm supre productive plus I get to do some chores in my lunchbreak before Robot Mum comes for sleepover tonight. And I'm trying to decide if I'm going to book a hair appt for tomorrow... Always an internal argument, and I usually just don't, and tie it up.

What About Me by Moving Pictures. Sweet Lord, when it comes on the radio in the car I swear I scream. The original idea for the song was sweet, but the song itself is just soooo whiny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzQK...

2.5 weeks til I go on holiday and see my supersister and the niblings. There will be Halloween Shenanigans. My question is this: Do I assemble a (watered-down) Valak costume for the trick-or-treating or is that a little de trop?
