If you're in Aotearoa and haven't voted... what support do you need to get voting papers into a ballot box by midday tomorrow? (or maybe today by the time you read this)
If you have already voted... is there someone in your life who you could support to vote by midday tomorrow? (and also, thanks!)

This was a very excellent puzzle. Hard at first, but very satisfying once it came together. 🌺🦜🧩

I may have got a reverse rainbow before, but I have never got this result AND looked at Connections Bot to see the little congratulatory message 🌈 #Connections710

I bought this Gorman dress second hand and haven't worn it yet, but it's nice / has a collar, so I put it on for a job interview. Then I looked closer at the pattern and... it's not seaweed! Lucky I noticed while still at home and didn't wear naked ladies and vulva-esque flowers to an interview 😂

Can I please go back here instead of getting back into regular life of school and work etc. etc.? Coming back from three weeks of the most amazing holiday is too hard and I don't like it. #harumph

Not exactly a hidden gem or creative recommendation, but if you ever get a chance to cruise along Piopiotahi / Milford Sound, I highly recommend it. We had such a beautiful day! #nz #fiordlandnationalpark

I keep getting ads for this "magnetic chess" game, saying "a new twist on a classic game" etc. And... just... no! It looks fun enough, but it has absolutely nothing to do with chess!
(And maybe the ads are just trying to gain attention through outrage, but if so, I guess it worked on me!)

Let's see some good bike racks too! These at our city library are solid, concreted in, under cover, away from cars but somewhere pretty public, convenient to lots of good places and can be accessed fairly easily from a great shared path. One of our favourites! 🚲🇳🇿

I've had a dumb weekend. But my kid and I made pretzels and now we're eating them and watching Freaky Friday and maybe things aren't so bad after all.
(More likely I'm temporarily distracted from new job stress + moving house + so much to do + everything, everywhere, all at once, but I'll take it)

With two parents working full time at separate jobs for the first time this school holidays, it's been a bit of a juggle. But with a great holiday programme, and three great sets of grandparents, our kid has had a pretty great run (highlight so far being... meeting this guy this afternoon!)

I keep getting ads about companies offering CGMs as a metabolic bio-hacking health thing (targeted at people who are not diabetic), and it feels a bit... off.
(But also, as someone who has some hormonal things going on (PCOS, insulin resistance) they're possibly correct that it'd be beneficial?)

Biking outfits don't have to be stretchy or Lycra or high vis. They can be 90s floral dresses with black tights and boots... or whatever you want to wear! 💛💙🧡🖤 #paihikara

Day 1 at my new job ✅ Lots of information, lots of inductiony things to tick off, lots to learn. But also nice people, a nice bike commute to and from, and a nice lunch break by the sea. #paihikara

Kid's choice for movie night was Back to the Future. I love being past the "all animated, all the time" phase of family movies! 📼🍿

Verdict from me: neither is awful, but both are worse than their un-flavoured counterparts.

Looks like it's time for my semi-regular reminder that:
- fat people can and do ride bikes for many reasons
- fat bodies are not problems to be fixed
- fatness and fitness are not mutually exclusive
- jokes about fat bodies are boring and there's no place for them in bike advocacy

Sport climbing has been my top Olympic highlight at Paris 2024, especially the women (but the men climbing now are pretty bloody impressive too). Holy shit, the athleticism. And my kid loves it too.
