Introduction time!
I'm Bronwyn, newly joined from Twitter.
I post mostly about my cats, gardening, whatever craft I'm currently obsessed with, aro ace stuff, and NZ politics.
Also interested in gaming, books, art, and cooking.

Just tested the years old rennet and it's still good!
Took in a stack of tomato seedlings I'd grown into work today to give away, and returned home with bags of milk because work over ordered

Ugh Neo had been getting into the wars again. I think I'm going to have to build a catio for him and keep him in at night
I've tried several times in the past to keep him in, but he is very smart and very determined

'when no one can read the experience you’re living, you all turn to the only thing available — the things you can read — and that’s almost always the allonormative and amatonormative"
Aspec invisibility isn’t the only obstacle in figuring ourselves out and embracing who we are.
You can't read a life written in invisible ink.
Asexual invisibility, intelligibility and learning to read ourselves.

Geez this government is a death cult aye, they are taking 20% of Water Safety NZ’s funding from next year because they weren’t sure if it actually made a difference to drowning statistics. It’s $1.1 million of funding, there needs to be more funding not less.

I downloaded a household chores planner and I think it's fixed everything?
The flattie I'd previously had to constantly ask and remind and plead with to tidy up now just does the stuff on her list without prompting

I wrote about how "Grokipedia" is a new front on the war against reality itself. It's an attempt by the oligarchic class to seize the means of knowledge production itself and create a weaponized unreality.
