@littleflick @MoistenedTart I'm so sorry. They're not something I'd wish on anyone.

Trying to explain to 12 that the cheddar I buy is the exact same one we had in Australia (same brand and everything) and he refuses to believe me. Does puberty change tastebuds?? 🤷‍♀️

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@littleflick @MoistenedTart Only the first few times, so I guess my anxiety says: mission accomplished? 🤦‍♀️😖 Or my imagination is lacking. One of the two 😂

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@littleflick @MoistenedTart 100% this. My dreamscape after having my first kid was particularly hellish, involving letterbox bombs and falling buildings as notable recurrent examples.

@rebeccamillar83 My SIL was collecting plushies of bacteria and viruses about twenty years ago, wonder where this person was then?

god damn

@nowimcarol @MoistenedTart I love it SO much 😁

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@MoistenedTart I'm very, very happy with this.

@MoistenedTart I'm sitting at the hairdresser, I'm going fully pink through violet today. The hairdresser is excited to have ~33 months of virgin hair to work with :)

@LilahRPGtt It's exhausting, but so prevalent.

I grew up among people who seemed to think that life is a zero-sum game... you can only improve your circumstances by worsening someone else's. No real concept of lifting everyone's circumstances, because they're scared they'll lose.

@MeetJess @1goodtern That's why most countries nixed testing as much as they could as early as they could and told us to live with it. PCR testing and sequencing makes it too easy to prove from where/who you caught it (/s). 😕

@skkoopman @Leo_Puglisi6 It's blowing my mind as a new arrival to NZ... I went to a woodworking class in Nelson last month and it seemed like every time someone was mentioned at least two people in the class of 8 knew them personally.

Not to mention he loves the landlord lobby and has (demonstrably) zero clue what the cost of living actually is or how it's affecting NZers on the ground. It's sickening how much misinfo was let pass by mainstream media here even sans-Murdoch.

New Zealand's new PM is a creationist, an ultra-conservative, ultra-right Christian who believes the world is 6000 years old. This all feels pretty hopeless.

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@annaspargoryan Yes. All the cats. He is lovely.

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@_deeflorence Thankyou! :)

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

Today I'm making a couple of small workshop wall shelf units. The ply I'm using is from a bundle of offcuts I bought from a local kitchen maker. There's some flaws etc but it's still much nicer than hardware store ply, cheaper, and I didn't need to wrangle with a full sheet.

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

@CrossBiddy @thetopjob Ooh if you have any left, please think of me :)

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

He swears that one of the other kids brought in their musket-shaped object and it looked almost real 😐

[natural hermit with family in my space @jennaappleton]

Trying to explain to 12 that maybe he doesn't want the 1777 musket-shaped object he's making for a class assignment to look *too* authentic... I've already caught him swinging his go at the Maori pouwhenua around in the backyard.
