Ms Ruby Phoenix @rubyphoenix420.bsky.....
How about we iust poison the humans on New Zealand because they are the real invasive species that should be eradicated. Oh wait you guys will do that in time. Can't wait to start seeing reports of people developing cancer and other health problems due to poisoned rats dying in your water ways:

Ms Ruby Phoenix @rubyphoenix420.bsky.....
These bleeding heart liberals and environmentalists end up doing more harm to ecosystems than good because they don't think logically and lack a basic understanding of science. #facts

Post or repost a #Bridge from your photography or artwork.. ¿Por qué no los dos?

A photo of a swing footbridge, straight on looking along the narrow tread and showing the X shape upper supports.

My half finished sketch of the same bridge with only the front facade really drawn.

Not bad, really..

A view of the sunset sky, dark orange along the lowest horizon fading rapidly into blue, with a single star visible. Silhouetted against it are native trees and harakeke.

A picture of a backyard and the back of my house, pale minty green, with the sunset orange reflected in the windows. The sky behind it is pale bluey purple with the nearly full moon visible.

POV: you have a winter morning off and you live at the beach

A selfie of me in my moana road native bird oodie, also wearing a beanie and a scarf.

A photo of the corner of a porch with a bar-like railing and bar stools leaning up against it. Through the gap is a bright blue sky and harakeke stalks and other native trees lit golden in the early morning sun.

A cup of coffee, held in a gloved hand, above some blanket-wrapped legs on a chaise lounge on the porch. In the background is a pink and white cowprint wicker type couch and an old table and chair, and the blind-covered window of the half screened porch.

WHAT THE FUCK 2 DEGREES

A screenshot of 2degrees 'create new password page' with the instructions 'mix letters, numbers, and symbols for a stronger password. The password typed is 'Stup1dity!'. There is a dialogue saying 'weak: better, but still short or missing some character types. Mix it up more'

Last night in my childhood home.. camping out with my blister after pulling a 12 hour shift getting Everything Else out of the house..

A tv and two camp beds on the floor in a room with nothing other than piles of curtains and a camp chair.

Post you from a different era Cute, coordinated, carefree.. first year of uni, barely 20, hasn't even experienced heartbreak yet, has had maybe three bad things happen to her in her whole life. God I miss that girl.

Me sitting on a stone dragon sculpture (at Wellington zoo). I am wearing a white almost knee length skirt with red, pink, and purple flowers on it, red chucks, a pink singlet, and a purple longsleeve tshirt. I also have a woven brown leather belt and a brown leather handbag with a woven strap. My long soft wavy brown hair shines in the sunlight.

Me, last night after painting my nails: *uses my purple mouse* ooooh! *picks up my purple drink bottle* aaaah! *looks down at my mottled pink mug on my sparkly silver desk next to my purple mouse, where my three new impulse buy nail polishes - pink, silver and purple - are sitting* oh my god.

Me holding a large light purple drink bottle with freshly painted nails in almost the exact same shade of purple.

Me using my lilac purple mouse with freshly painted nails in almost the exact same shade of purple. My hand rests on my shiny silver desk next to my shiny silver laptop.

My (badly painted) shiny silver lap desk, with my lilac purple mouse on top of it, and my mottle pink mug next to it. Lined up in front of the desk are the three new nail polished I bought on a whim yesterday - shiny silver, lilac purple, and the same soft rosey shade of pink as my mug.

JELLICLE CATS ARE QUEENS OF THE NIGHT, SINGING AT ASTRONOMICAL HEIGHTS.. My class did cats as our play for our school 'andrew lloyd webber' production and I really wanted to do jellicle cats cos it's the best but our teacher chose mr mistoffelees and I was really disappointed.

~10 year old me dressed as a cat for our school production - with teased hair, whiskers, and a black sweater.

A very special package arrived a couple of days ago from @thesewphist.bsky.social, including the tui cushion I've been thinking about for months! I also got a set of beautiful print greetings cards with kea, weka, kakariki, and ruru on them, and a matching (bonus 💚🩵💙💜) set of coasters, and stickers!

A bed with a light blue duvet cover with native NZ birds and plants all over it, three cushions - one with lots of squares each with a different native nz bird or plant in it, one with lots of different size tui all over it, and one with different sized kiwi all over it. There are also three bird teddies - a kea, a kokako, and a korimako. On the wall behind my bed is a giant canvas print of a tui in front of some mountains.
