Hi Mastodon, please sign my petition to the #NewZealand government to show that we the public will hold them accountable to uphold our part of the Paris #climate agreement.

https://www.change.org/ToitūPārihi

According to change.org, petitions that gain at least 10 signatures in the first day are more likely to succeed. Also their website starts pushing it out to people once it has five signatures. Yours could be one.

Disclosure: the image on this webpage was automatically generated by Change.org’s #AI and some of the text was suggested by it. Please let me know if you have a suggestion to further improve the text. I intend to have my husband take a photo to replace it tomorrow.

I’ve been carving tiny furniture stamps and it is so much fun. I have a couple more things I want to add to finish the set, but I couldn’t resist designing a little house with what I’ve got so far. #Handmade #linocut #Art

Two years of baby Latin at a catholic intermediate followed by three years at a state high school. I passed school cert Latin.

The correct word is 'stadia' and my brain simply won't allow me to believe otherwise.

Ignoring a word's derivation erases the richness of our vocabulary. Things were better in the old days when we either took our Latin words seriously, or we were brutally caned.

Yours, etc.,

If you believe that #Reform is a solution to, well, anything, I have a splinter from the true cross I'd like to sell you.
I hope you won't think this presumptuous of me, but have you ever considered attending a course that teaches rudimentary reasoning skills, you gullible fucking lack-wit?
"David Seymour only wants what's best for the country"
You've tacked-on a superfluous syllable there, my friend.
"What?"
Never mind.

I'm on a Facebook group for fans of Spanish horror and the first post I saw about this release was a guy complaining that the special features include a documentary that talks about "the male gaze"

If you ask me that's one more reason to watch it

Well, everyone, you can now submit a comment to let the FCC know what you think about SpaceX asking for 1 million satellites for "AI datacenters" whatever the fuck that means.

Comments due March 6.

I am having a very hard time believing this is really happening. Fuck you, SpaceX, and fuck you, FCC. This is not regulation, this is a fucking joke, that will destroy our ability to use satellites for centuries.

There's always chefs on telly around this time giving their top tips on making Christmas dinner. Here's mine.... don't worry about it. Do your prep. Listen to some banging tunes, dance and sing. Make a list. Check it twice. Do your timings. They'll all be wrong. You'll probably forget something. At least one thing will go wrong. Noone will notice or care so don't mention it. Get your potatoes right. They're all anyone cares about. You could serve a bunch of rubbish but the whole thing hinges on your potatoes. Love your potatoes. Make sure at least one is really terrific then take a photo of it and send it to your family and friends as a power play. If anyone responds with a better potato, ghost that person forever. You are the superior potato person now.
