Hello new followers (nods at 𓅃). Here's a video to explain me - an 8 minute song of one riff with text to speech vocal arguing poetically the space industry is undercutting discourses of climate action. The video is made from a 1950s Frigidaire commercial and 60s NASA PR footage.

A PSA for the holidays!

And for Kiwis, I recommend @pepperraccoon.com- very cool tees, badges, and more (they make great gifts for friends and whānau overseas!)

Had an accident with one of our outside fuchsia so I took some emergency cuttings. Sitting in water for two weeks and no movement and then today one of them went, "oh yeah lets do a whole shitload of roots all in one day."

Pretty chuffed.

Research should not be hidden behind for-profit paywalls. Universities should not have to pay $30 million for work we’ve done for free.

Goodness me, I stayed up late reading and it’s already Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day. Hope you’ve all been good this year!

I'm a proud subscriber to @theonion.com newspaper and I love it all, but I think the thing that feels the most exciting about it is the ads? I feel like you wouldn't be allowed to do this in New Zealand?

Mark Mitchell on RNZ Morning Report saying "just a few bad apples, rest of the Police are all goods". But the IPCA doesn't really seem to agree with this assessment?

I had some glass drink coasters sitting around so decided to do some painting with them today. Quite happy with the outcome.

Wow got home from work to find a second bud has popped 🥰🌱

I kind of love this as an ex-gardening contractor because the fastest way to work out if a new hire was good value was to dig a hole with them.
Yes, we are that simple.

Found some time over the last weeks to do some sanding and have now done the first couple of coats of oil. It's come up quite well for cheap pine.

May varnish it for protection at some later date.
