Similar palette but for yesterday. Shredded leftover roast chicken, and celery, in spicy Sichuanese sauce

Also this laughable statement (from her candidate page)??

Statement that reads: "I want to see Queen Street thriving again, but that can only happen with a National Government"

We kinda did for a little while 🥲. (I seem to read a lot of graphic novels huh)

Two panels form Alison Bechdel’s comic novel “Spent”.

In the first panel, Alison is pictured wearing a mask saying, “Y’know, I might just keep wearing this mask after Covid. It’s been such a relief to get my anonymity back”. Her partner is seen putting on her mask too, saying “Yeah, that was a real problem”.

In the second panel, someone asks: “Excuse me, are you Alison Bechdel?” to which she replies: “Why yes, I am”.

To think that it used to be normal? This was in a graphic novel published in 2018

Hand-lettered text that reads: “I’m brought to what will be my bedroom for the next 5 or 6 weeks, in the "protected" section (individual room with air filtration and positive pressure < the filtered air circulates from my room INTO the hallway so no microbes come in from outside). Visitors, including hospital personnel, are required to wear a mask.”

Below the text is a line drawing of some hospital equipment like an IV line next to a hospital bed

The light brown one has been the youngest’s favourite companion for most of her pre-school days! Pictured here at the library 🐰

Also tradies: just let me quickly set up my workshop on the cycleway

Some tradie blocking the cycleway with his vehicle and trailer, using their own road cones — probably with no permit from Auckland Transport. Other tradie vans are also parked on the berms, which is also illegal

The kid was not having any of it

The AUDACITY of a white dude with a heavy non-NZ accent telling me to "go back to your country" when I call him out for riding his motorcycle in the cycleway. He was previously mounting footpaths to circumvent red lights, while also running other red lights before turning into the cycleway

Motorcyclist clearly using a cycleway with a hand signal that I should get out of "his lane"

Angry-looking motorcyclist, angry at being called out on his law-breaking ways

There's a cycleway under here somewhere 🧐

A protected cycleway completely innundated with dead brown leaves, leaving only the concrete barriers visible

We have one of those but I think only one

Like, this is what they are ok with. (In this particular screengrab, the car has stopped because I was riding interference to make sure the driver has seen us)
