Oh no, I've been writing while falling asleep again.

There are two A-frames down the road which have A-frame house mailboxes - they're not as detailed as this but I still love them.

12th Doctor: ...and there I was with Franz Ferdinand...
Whoever: omg you actually did it? You helped him avoid assassination? Stopped both world wars and saved millions of lives? Completely changed the course of history.
12th Doctor: ...at Glastonbury. Good times.

Also a BBC Micro, at school, something like this, followed by a Mackintosh Classic. At home we at one point had a Mackintosh Classic and also a very chunky laptop running MS-DOS, but didn't really have a home computer pre Windows 95 or possibly 97.

Beautiful day on parliament lawn. Excellent speech from @kassiejade.bsky.social. Always good to have seats at protests too. Shame abt the disgrace inside the building. Restricting benefits of young people based on parental income will be devastating to queer youth in particular. Gotta keep fighting.

NZ readers! I desperately need to clear some book space for new stuff and have a few bundles of the first edition Windflower books (witchy sapphic novellas) so putting them on sale, $50 for all 5 books, absolute bargain. Includes postage if you're not rural. Msg me if interested. #pukapuka

Colleagues made excellent shoe lace choices for tomorrow's conference.

Excellent words from Crip the Lit's Etta Bollinger, @remedy.bsky.social and Lucy Croft, lovely to catch up with heaps of people in the audience too. Glad I pushed myself to go into town.

Exactly one (1) person in this household likes zucchini. We have a situation.

That time a reviewer complained about my book mentioning the civil war but with dates that didn't align with the US Civil War.

Forget the staircase in the forest; I _still_ want answers about the mysterious ornate staircase that sometimes appears in Taitā Cemetery.

And lastly To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose - a captivating story of a First Nations girl at dragon training school. Sucked me right in. Bonus for what I thought was a solid description of a non-speaking autistic student. Loved it.

The Grimmelings by Rachael King @rachaelking70.bsky.social - written for MG but a great read for adults too, a lot of nuance and difficult questions, but more importantly terrifying water horses.

The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo. Queer, menacing, with some interesting historical worldbuilding. I liked the finality of the decisions made.
