Mouse's greatest fears are:

1. Weather
2. Vacuum (tiny indoor weather)
3. Rain pants (weather adjacent)

Don't let the sweet face fool you. She's only ever a few seconds away from full gremlin mode.

It's official. I'm gonna be seeing wombats in November.

This is the problem for me. Imprisonment should not mean losing voter rights.

Book launch highlights: my high school English teacher showing up (!), my colleagues' daughters' handmade card, my friend making me a beaded rat in the trans flag colours, Alex's sparkly dress, and my punk friends charming my v. wholesome Aunt/Uncle. It was so overwhelming and so beautiful.

Another successful university Walk a Dog Day.

The book is live! And a few hardback copies have made it safely to Aotearoa from Edinburgh. Grateful for all the people that helped me get to this moment. 🩵

Sometimes Mouse protests late bedtimes by climbing onto my shoulders, but tonight she started this nonsense at 8:30pm.

All proceeds will directly benefit Mouse the Cat because she refuses to engage with capitalism by getting a job

Self-promotion is not one of my strengths, so please bear with me during this trying time. But I wrote a book! And people can pre-order the book! With a launch discount (NEW30)!

Mouse was doing an excellent impression of the thousand yard stare on her walk today (triggered by the distant yaps of the neighbour's bichon frise, Gucci).

Guess who made a star appearance in today's zoom workshop

Final haul of the festival. I'm leaving Featherston with more books than clothes in my backpack

Made it through the morning events with only one purchase. Showing great restraint. #pukapuka

Day one of Featherston Booktown and I'm already two purchases deep.

Today I helped run Staff Walk a Dog Day! Incredibly delightful seeing these babies brighten everyone's day.

Perfect Saturday night: loaded wedges and Te Matatini

March 1st and we're still in flop season. Someone turn the temperature down before Mouse melts into the floor.

Great weather for garden walks.

It's important to constantly remind my dad and his homophobic wife that his children are mostly gay, even as we celebrate the one straight one getting married.

Mouse is in full model mode

Top four (new to me) reads of 2024 (didn't mean to go so hard for Aotearoa lit, but I'm not sorry about it either) #pukapuka

My top four (new to me) films of 2024. Deeply unsurprising revelation: I'm a sucker for queers and horror
