Cute Evil. Craft beer junkie. Turophile. Amerikiwi. Just a Kansas City, MO girl living in a Kiwi world. Mouthpiece of Yeastie Boys. I'd be a much better unicorn. Trying to figure out which social media platform to use. 🤷🏻♀️

Social media bans, cyberbullying, text bullying, crank calls, poison pen letters
Every generation we have a massive panic about kids having harmful or abusive interactions via the new media of the day
And we never ever EVER acknowledge the underlying attitudes and culture driving them

Sitting at a table by myself having a beer. A couple just came and sat at the other end of it without even acknowledging my existence. Should I use my powers of invisibility for good or for evil?

Banning under 16s from social media will not stop kids accessing social media, but it will make kids less likely to tell an adult when they run into trouble online.
Young people, parents and others dealing with teens need education and support to learn how to navigate social media safely.

Hi Secret Santa, I think this is from you (addressed to my real first name versus my Bluesky name)? I won’t open it as it said it wasn’t wrapped. If this is from you, thank you! #SecretSantaAoNZ

The #firstworldproblem of drinking the occasional proper hazy is the fruit flies enjoy it as well and die in your drink to prove their point.

Don’t forget this is actually what is hiding behind the leadership at Unbound/Boundless protestations of “aw shucks publishing is a risky business market and sometimes when you’re really weally bwave and twy to help authors shit happens but we did our best honest”

I said in an interview that I have a lot of empathy for you because you lost your dream, too.
But Unbound's sales reports showing my second book as a flop when it actually sold out its print run was unfathomably cruel. Seeing Ingram's data, showing 10x the sales I was paid for, broke my heart.

Tauranga is absolutely miserable in terms of temperature and it’s only December. Is it too late to apply for jobs on the ice over summer?

Dear Wellington. Please help.
I need a cheap way to cater my kids birthday party. The party is in Taita lower Hutt. So I'm looking for takeaways to bring to feed a whole lot of teenagers.
One of the teenagers needs gluten free. Another needs egg and dairy free.
Any ideas? I'll have a car.

Okay, I've formally signed up for the Giving Pledge, sometimes considered the Billionaire's Pledge, though I've never been a billionaire, particularly after I gave away all my craigslist equity to my charitable foundation.
