Tech for good, for people, for orgs. Less tech, and slower too. Popping balls through hoops, open source, learning guitar, making prints, building with wood. Ōtepoti, Aotearoa.
Got this pot back from a blackened mess of burned rhubarb. Thanks grapefruit spoon, top tier decarboniser.

I am happy!
About six weeks ago I made my knee angry playing netball. I think I bumped knees with another player, or I was getting too excited on the jumping and turning.
It's taken AGES of sore knee but I got back on the court tonight, we played a good game and won, I wasn't as fast as I like

If this were a bunch of Pakeha farmers having to go back to court to relitigate an award of water rights because the government had changed allocation rules the media, business and legal establishments would be united in decrying it as the death of the rule of law.

1 night without electricity (Dunedin outage due to severe winds), & I was slightly annoyed. Can you imagine 2 years without electricity, water, food, & constant killing? (Gaza) Of course not. Nor should you. That’s why we object to genocide, not just empathy, but who’s next if allowed? #nzpol
