Pre-employment psych test said very high empathy vs. very low tolerance. I'm sorry. Get over it. 🤣 And the cat. Mostly the cat, if I'm honest. Held together with baling twine and No.8 wire. Oh, and would love to #LiberateTheLane.

😂 So big! So focussed!

100%. You'd honestly think he'd never once been fed the way he carried on.

The focus of his single brain cell on making sure he doesn't miss any of his churu. 🇳🇿🐱

🇳🇿😺 Chico Marx rocking out the chicken leg in the airing cupboard. Being in the airing cupboard also means it's officially winter in Auckland. I don't make the rules. Sorry.

PS. None of those towels are for people. Only cats.

A large black and white cat, lying on a lot of towels, is wrapped around a copper pipe which runs through the airing cupboard he is in. He has one back leg thrown out towards the camera that looks like a chicken drumstick.

I heard about this from David Slack's newsletter. How awful for you! Sending lots of healing thoughts your way.

In our house, that's known as 'chicken leg' 🍗

It's the sighing and grunting that cracks me up.

Big stretch *dramatic yawn
Did she see me? *grunt

I love him so much, but he is ridiculous.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 13

The best he got was 'D'ya want a snuggle?'. Which he did. But was grumpy about it 😂 cats are so dramatic.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 13

Yay!!

These people... 🤢

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 13

It really isn't. I feel for you! Fingers crossed you can get the good stuff asap, and start feeling more normal.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 13

I also have this fan for the office! And a paper fan for public transport. If you can, HRT was a game changer for me.

🇳🇿😺 Chico Marx reporting in from the trenches of misery and torture. He is visibly wasting away and would like to complain to management.

*Management had just given him dinner, but he was hoping for more treats. This spot is where we do his insulin & BG tests, so maybe a treat will appear.

A large black and white cat is lying on beige carpet. He is staring vacantly off into the distance.

Oh I'm so sorry 💔

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 12

Yep. Same.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 12

I'm not sure. But I'm pretty happy with how things have turned out. I definitely know myself better and what makes me happy, which is good. Very few regrets - and most of those are related to my appalling taste in men. Much happier being single and independent with fab friends and whānau.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 12

I also hate hand blowy things. Especially those Dyson style ones that blow droplets in your face 🤢

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 11

Why do these AI monstrosities look more human than the real thing?!

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 11

Oh, that sounds so rewarding. For both of you!

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 10

You're a good soul ❤️

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 10

Fucking hell. That's awful, Pepper. And a very odd take from them generally, when I only ever see you encouraging others with their art and being so supportive. What a miserable little life they must lead. (Or at least I hope so).

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 9

Ooh! Somehow the voice isn't how I imagined it, but it looks good. And the rest of the cast look brilliant too.

Pockets McGee @shanners81.bsky.social · Apr 9

A friend has been going through a very hard time of late, but today she was laughing and reminiscing about the shenanigans we got up to when we first met, in our first job out of uni. It was lovely to see 😍

I don't know how they remained so composed during their speech. I'd have been a wreck! Winston is playing to his base, which has always been old racists - not too far for them to lean into homophobia and other revolting behaviours 🤢
