Irish queer in Aotearoa.
A couple of years since I left the
#punk scene in the city to try this #off-grid #solarpunk shit in the middle of nowhere while also learning this #parenting lark.

Trying to learn new (to me, but actually very old) skills and figure out how to live my best dynamic equilibrium with this harsh environment.

#MentalHealth and #EDS have huge and constant impacts on my life that I'll likely post about.

Despite only learning it in school, and living on the other side of the world, I am trying to bring my kiddo up with
#gaeilge - the Irish language. I'll hashtag my posts in Irish with the word Gaeilge if you wana filter that out.

I'm not gonna swear AT you, but there will likely be swearing in a shit-tonne of my posts.

I'm not gonna boost or share images without alt-text.

#cannabis user, strong #acab sentiments.
Goodbye blue sky, Hello horizontal rain in misty veils.

I fucking love this part of the country.

I don't even care what it's like on the other side of the Kilmog.
PLEASE HELP!
I'm on a bus with a 3 year old, for whom I bought new colouring pencils and a notebook for the journey.

BUT THERES A CODE TO OPEN THE NOTEBOOK.

I threw away the plastic covering and potential instructions before we left the house!

How do?

Woohoo! On the bus to Ōtepoti.

Kiddo is in fine spirits though I feel like an ass telling her to keep her voice down. Curb that joy!

I'm nervously waiting to find out what I left behind.

And glad that I am going to the perfect people to have a drink and talk about Sinéad O'Connor. Every now and then, an influential person's death affects me emotionally and apparently she was one of those.
Almost packed for the Big Trip South tomorrow. So hard trying to fit everything into a backpack. Grand for myself, but wtf is the 3yr old gonna need for 3 nights away that I'm not thinking of? 🤯

And fingers crossed for the bus from Timaru to Dunedin with here after an hour and a half in the car already
😅

Yes, I'm in the freaking out stage of my almost holiday
😬🤦🏻‍♂️
Agh. Stuck in an almost intolerable place between the pain, discomfort and sleep interruption intrinsic to wearing this brace on my elbow, and the knowledge that it's saved me at least 3 dislocations that have instead manifested as just the worst kind of inner squirming and rearranging that can happen in the flesh realms. I'm left with a hint of pain and nearly overwhelming horror.

I've texted a physio I hope can help, fingers crossed she gets back to me
😬

Ooh. Major milestone. Kidface has played her first roll-the-dice-and-move-your-piece #boardgame 🤩
Snowfolk are built, toboggan tracks created and slipped in.

Cold now. Hope this melts soon
😜
Omg omg omg SNOW
The human body is basically the project from a picky client who wanted both bipedalism and a big head and refused to compromise on either so we ended up with this bullshit
