We have 2 dogs (Roxy and Hine), 3 cats (Samurai, Sabre, and Patu), 9 chickens, 1 rooster, and 5 cows. I make cat toys, so they're good. The dogs are spoiled. The cows are hard to shop for. But I do have trouble keeping the chooks out of the garden! 😅
#SecretSantaAoNZ is a great chance to get to know not only your future Santee but also everyone else taking part. I will be posting up questions you can reply to or quote to help with sleuthing.

Moved my Kiwisaver to a defensive fund. Now digging through my funds in Sharesies to see if they're invested in AI. Interesting to see that the "Global Responsibility Fund" lists Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft at the top of the list, so it's getting yeeted today. I'll take 120% return.

Baby Christmas tree has been a bloody marathon. Two failed attempts, and this one is taking forever, but it's finally starting to look like a Christmas tree. Each one of those leaves takes about 20 minutes.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

As I go about my farm jobs today, I am singing and dancing to Lily Allen's new album and thinking about all the other women around the globe dancing and singing along to how much of an asshat her ex-husband was.

The annual car detail has begun. Always love the next 5 days when it's all clean and we're not carting about half-a-dog worth of fur, and a metric forest of pine jizz.

The best time for me to listen to a new album is while I'm formatting my blog. This week I'm listening to Lily Allen's 'West End Girl'. And I love her.

Morning peeps! I’ve written a piece for @thespinoff.bsky.social on why I ended up taking legal action against my employer and a little bit about how it played out. The whole story needs a book to tell but this is a good start 😂 thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1... thespinoff.co.nz/society/01-1...
