It's a Christmas Eve tradition chez nous, the baking and icing of Christmas cookies. This year's humidity has made the icing more abstract than usual, but they will taste the same. Bonnes fêtes ! 🎅🎄🎁

The Marsden Fund, the only real funding option for Humanities and Social Science research in NZ, will now be reserved for the hard sciences. 50% of projects must show economic benefits to the country. It's laughable the short-sighted ignorance displayed by the government. 1/2

It sounds potentially dodgy but I bought some Baileys flavoured coffee pods and I just tried one. Actually yum.

I was a big fan of his Dad back in the day, so it's awesome to see Caleb Clarke playing his heart out for the All Blacks. Looking forward to seeing what the team can do next week.

This Government's benefit policies are designed to hurt people, nothing more. There aren't jobs for people to go into. Bureaucratic hoops do nothing to improve outcomes. Cutting benefits as a punishment just means starving people starve faster. AND THEY KNOW IT. THE CRUELTY IS THE POINT.

You'd think at the very least your family would tautoko your writing, especially a book that includes family history. With the exception of my mum and a cousin, none of my family have read 'Foundations'. Just heard one aunt is refusing to read it because she 'saw a swear word in it'. Oh Ffs 🙄

Back in 1983 at Papatoetoe Intermediate, the boys set up a large square of cardboard outside the classroom. The break dancing they did at lunchtime was about 1000 times better than the Australian Olympic effort. Just saying.
