OK, introducing the mark 1 Adam inkle loom, an adaptation of the Bradley loom, but without the paddle tensioner. Went with the 4 bars on the front. If I need to I can always remove it. Need to sand the shuttles a little more, but think tomorrow I'm going to take it for a test weave. Wish me luck :)

Anyone use an inkle loom? Looking for advice on strutt placement. I made holes for 4 on the front upright, but am worried they will be too close together for easy winding /loading of the weft. I could leave it out and try it a bit before gluing it in, or make it an optional/removable bar. Thoughts?

Love it that my daughter (7) either understands the world, or me, enough that when we're discussing dinner options she will say I'd this this & this, but if they don't work I'd be ok with this.. Approaching everything with a plan B seems like a great resilience strategy to grow up with. #DadsLife

Wtf! $138 a night for a campsite (unpowered) in Taupō over the school holidays? When did a patch of grass get more expensive than a rural air b and b!?

Late to party, just finished#Sense8. Holy shit what a gr8 show. I always loved vintage SciFi for how it shone a light on the oddities of humanity. This does it more than anything I've watched for years. Fab repping of trans, bi, gay characters. #GreatShow www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/sense8

M7's been working on a doll house/room on & off 4 ages. Today she focused on toilet & associated taputapu. The attention 2 detail & creativity blows me away. The toilet brush is super cute, the spare toilet roles cracked me up. Then she wanted the clay... Why? To make little poos! OMG! ;) #DadsLife

Ā few weeks ago M7 and I were testing out the new pompom tools we'd ordered. She loved them & made a whole series. A couple of days later one broke & there were tears. Today we tried to repurpose the yarn and there were hysterics 'it was my first pompom! You CANT have it!'. The intensity of feeling!

Curious on tips from seperated peeps. What are your tips (perhaps mental & self behavioral i.e what did You do) for when things were hot (vitrolific) between you both? Double points (perhaps only points) if you had/have kids together.

Just poked my head outside and was like woah, the world's gone orange. Almost tempted to jump on the bike and head up Maungarei to see the world on fire.

This is such a good read for Pākehā/tau iwi wanting to understand.
If Seymour wants a debate on the constitutional future of our country, here’s something the Matike Mai Aotearoa working group prepared earlier. This is the kind of constitutional debate we need.

There were more students from *private schools* in deciles 9 & 10 than there were from *all schools* in deciles 1-5.
The only problematic preferential entry scheme in medical school selection is the invisible one for students from NZ’s ‘elite’ schools.

Weird thing to complain about, or perhaps totally the existential condition. Had a lovely evening hosting a group of friends from different parts of my life. It was awesome, people had fun, built connections, made a magical evening together. And then they left.. And I feel warmed, but also miss..

@kimtairi.bsky.social 2 threads here converging. Perhaps a rambly intro; tino aroha mai. Ive had this moemoeā of a Twitter party. Inviting all the people I've followed & been followd by around to a gathering of diverse and interesting. But I haven't hosted a party since my tamāhines first birthday!

Whenever I'm cutting up boxes with a craft blade I remeber the time I was working in a supermarket as a teenager and cutting down a big pile of boxes. I looked down when I'd finished and saw a razor clean cut in my trousers right along my inner thigh and scrotum. #NearMiss

Whats the SM consensus? We've broken from the bike lifestyle & booked a van for a 4 day camping trip, just me & M7. Got the tents, fishing gear, kayak & bikes ready to load in tomorrow. But now it looks like rain. M7 is still keen, we've a decent marquee to give us shelter, but is it worth going?
