Gross. I hope this enough to stop people from voting for the “safe choice” LDP in the next election.

Did you know that @drmorsetattoo.bsky.social @lofty.tattoo does HP tattoo coverups? For any J K Rowling-related coverup at Dr Morse studio, they’ll donate 20% of the price to Gender Minorities Aotearoa.

Boo frogging!

I’m working on Let the Ghosts Out by The Stitch Crypt from this year’s Just Crossstitch‘s Halloween special.

Unfinished cross stitched face of a jack-o-lantern.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

It's good that she's paying you extra. I really wish she would find another teacher and cut this guy loose. He seem like such a liability to the school

Did your boss even ask if this was okay with you? Why isn’t canceling lessons an option?

No longer a wip! I just finished it today.

EXC: Plans are underway for a coordinated strike across the public sector on October 23 featuring:
- Nurses
- Teachers
- Doctors
- and more

If the ballots go ahead it could well be the biggest coordinated strike in NZ history

Tidal wave of strike action planned for October 23

Plans are under way for a co-ordinated strike across much of the public sector, with nurses, teachers and other public sector workers potentially walking off the job on the same day.

My current act of petty rebellion is filling my tiny, quaint and very British village library with (mostly) queer horror.

A stack of books sitting on table. The books are: Model Home by Rivers Solomon, Listen to Your Sister by Neena Viel, Hungerstone by Kat Dunn, Nothing but Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw and The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw.

I don’t like teaching preschoolers either but I’m not going to claim trauma or a mental health issue that doesn’t exist to get out of it. People with legitimate trauma and mental health issues already have trouble being taken seriously, I'm not going to shit on that.

I’m working with a new teacher today and apparently she told management she couldn’t teach preschool classes because of trauma. Turns out there is no trauma, she just doesn’t want to do them. 🤬

So I got the flu shot today and I’ll get the Covid one next time when I go back in a month.

Rachy @rachyftw.bsky.social · 26d

The doctor strongly recommended the flu vaccine but seemed less enthusiastic about the Covid vaccine because “it’s not the dangerous disease that it used to be.”

Sigh

Went to the doctor today to discuss my blood pressure medicine (working beautifully) and while I was there I asked about this year’s flu and Covid vaccines.

I'm getting really close to finishing this one. Just the ground, some more leaves and some mysterious swirls to go!

A black crow with a purple magic hat perched on a scary orange jack-o-lantern with green leaves floating around, cross stitched on a purple background. Pattern is Jack-Crow-Lantern by NeedleLot Desings.

I’d like it if the reboot of Murder She Wrote is actually Jessica Fletcher killing someone every week and elaborately framing someone to settle some decades old grudge.
