You were never in the closet. When House of Burn released those rainbow bike shorts we knew you were on the way to full Mountain Bike Festival

I love a Brenda info share!

It’s just her chive walkin’

Same. I need 3-5

Are there any instances of collective worker action to regulate AI in the galleries / archives / libraries / museums sector? Has anyone come up with a charter or a code of ethics yet?

I started making some shapes out of sheets of silver that I will turn into earrings

Lots of love to you all today

Yeah we’ve been listening to this too!

Attended _that_ AGM from my jewellery class with an earbud in one ear, pausing to vote while making wax charms to cast. Dedicated to saying fuck off to the racists!

@johubris.bsky.social @newimprovedtom.bsky.social hugs to the both of you

Whoa I have that one, they’re local even

Some friends and I have started up a micro-venue. Member paid, volunteer run, and completely independent here in Whakatū Nelson. Called WAA! (Pronounced waaargh!) Waaclub.nz

So you might get a better explanation than I can give from an optometrist or ophthalmologist but that’s my basic understanding :)

I’m not! I used to be a dispensing optician.

It’s been so satisfying to take my ideas and learn how to turn them into something real!

I’ve been learning to make jewellery by taking 3 eight-class courses over the past nine months. I’m obsessed so far. Here’s what I’ve been making.

This was a great episode! The guy from Cubitts was right about people aging needing reading glasses, but wrong about which lens is responsible. It’s not the cornea hardening, it’s the changes to the lens inside your eye and the tiny muscles that support it that cause presbyopia.

shoutout to all the people all over helping, caring, sharing, doing what they can; making & creating to bring joy, comfort, to lighten another's load; advocating & protesting, putting themselves on the line, keeping their heart soft while working hard-out for a better world. blessings to ye always 🌹

If you're reading this and you're cisgender, I'd like to ask you a favour. I'd like you to consider what your gender means to you. What aspects of it are freeing, what constrains you? What expressions of your gender bring you joy, what expressions feel like obligations?

Oh, ooof, sending love to you

Next time! 🌸

@georgepenney.bsky.social were you at Hot Chips tonight and I didn’t get the chance to say hello, or am I mixing you up with another?

Slogan of the century from the 2019 protests in Chile: “Neoliberalism was born in Chile and here it will die”

In NZ, sharing some of this history of being a laboratory for these policies, we would do well to show more solidarity and work towards putting it to death here in our own terms.
