[updated message] Just as an FYI (if it wasn't obvious), my tweets are my opinion only and not that of any current or future employer (long story here, can't get into it, insert legal stuff). Any offence caused is by me or my cat, not my employer. Aroha nui 💕
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary
All these years later, I joined Twitter because I was studying SciComm by distance learning from Otago and thought I should get more active on social media. So led my downfall lol
For those in that world, FYI Graham Stewart MNZM passed away yesterday at 92. One of the founders of MOTAT, originator of the Old Time Transport Preservation League, NZH photographer, author of 29 books on transport history, father of tram preservation in Aotearoa.

Shout out to David Seymour and the Ministry for Regulation for making me work over the summer holidays. There really should be some sort of regulation against January submission dates…

As we get ready to ring out the year we just had (oof), please enjoy a preview of what we did this time last year: youtu.be/IdJ6mpA4MS0
Best views of the city! We'll ring out the old year, pile onto the roof for bubbles and Christmas tarts and fireworks from the SkyTower across the road, and then ring in the new year!

Good to see this leadership from our govern… oh wait… Z Energy?
Z Energy is swapping out street names for 'correct' kupu on fuel stops around the country, with the help of local hapū.

Polynesians had settled an area the size of Russia before the British could even cross the English Channel. But the anonymous X accounts of this world insist Polynesian civilisation was primitive.

Lovely morning of ringing today. 14 in the tower! We had 8 at 9.15 so actually started on time! Wow! Rang rounds, Plain Bob Doubles & Minor, Reverse Canterbury Doubles, and Grandsire Doubles & Triples.
ALT St Matthew in the City taken from the street looking up through the tropical garden. There are flowers in bloom, with the white Ōamaru stone church tower punching through the canopy into the blue grey morning sky.
Oh that's a shame. One of the few good memories I have with dad was a Vauxhall car rally that came here and finished with a bbq under the Ngaruawahia Rail Bridge

Fuckit, I'll add to that: EVERY woman has at least one, and half the men I know have one too.
Remember that rape is about power, not attraction. It is also about violence, and some people will always use violence to get what they (think they) want.
