Not sure how they have the cheek to call this feijoa and not apple, since the 51% juice content is made up of 50% apple and 1% feijoa! It's pleasant enough, but just tastes like very subtle apple juice.

Pale green label on a bottle of 'Ours. Bubbly juicy feijoa. Kiwi made juice with bubbles.

Pale green ingredients label from the same bottle, showing it consists of 51% juice, of which 50% is apple and a mere 1% is feijoa. Other ingredients are the usual - carbonated water, sugar, natural flavours, acidity regulator and preservative.

This is Peggy. She is a master of awkward sleeping positions.

LOL another AI ad fail!

Wore my new Rainbow Republic shirt out in public for the first time tonight. And by 'public' I mean to a friend's birthday party. But it was public for me! #LGBTQ+ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

This seems pretty messed up, for winter. #AoNZ #Poneke

The link preview doesn't have quite same impact as the email promo did:

Image of a blue, sort-of bone-shaped dog toy with a treat stuck in the hole at one end. The centre section has raised rubber spikes all around. At first glance I totally thought it was a bumhole with a stick stuck up it!

Hubs couldn't decide if this tastes like shampoo or perfume. I think it's perfume, with too much artificial sweetener. Not completely undrinkable, but not something I'd get again. A rare miss from Bundaberg.

Bundaberg.
Refreshingly light
BREWED RASPBERRY
+ POMEGRANATE.
LOW SUGAR.
SPARKLING DRINK.

I guess, when Woolworths NZ online claims they're baked in-store, they don't specify *which* store... 👀

I fixed it for you, Bishflaps. #NZpol

Peggy just did a very loud fart, and gave herself a frighten! 🐶 #AotearoaPets

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Since being clipped he's started getting on our bed, which is a first.

@asukafield.xyz Hi! For some reason bsky won't let me report this account to you with the reporting tool, so I hope it's okay to do it this way instead.

Loki seems to think that, because we got all his floof shaved off, he can get on the bed now.

Chippy did mention it in his response to the extreme weather events this week (apologies for the FB link, full message is in the alt text if you don't want to click through): www.facebook.com/chrishipkins...

Facebook message from Chris Hipkins MP, dated 22 January at 22:01.
My thoughts tonight are with all those who have been affected by the extreme weather events that have hit New Zealand in the past few days.
My deepest sympathy goes to those who have lost loved ones or are still waiting for news, and to everyone who has been forced from their homes or injured.
Events like these take a real toll, and no one should have to face them alone.
Climate change means we are seeing far more of these tragic events, and I want to acknowledge the very real stress and strain this is placing on so many of our communities.
My deepest thanks go to our first responders and to all those in the community who are stepping up to help. In times like these, we see the very best of us.
Kia kaha, New Zealand. Stay strong. Stick together.

Finally got a couple of halfway decent pics of Loki with his extreme haircut! Big head and skinny legs. But he's so much more comfortable now. 🐶 #AotearoaPets

Loki, a black Newfoundland dog with a white patch on his chest. He has been clipped short except for his giant pom-pom head. He's sitting looking at the camera.

No cheating. Reskeet with the most recent pic of your pet.

I hope the attendees get to grade her on her performance as MinFin. Still very vomit-inducing though. #NZpol

*snort* #OuterWorlds2

Screenshot from Outer Worlds 2. Describes a companion armor upgrade:
Grants a bonus to damage based on Tristan's armor value. Also increases the effectiveness of his armor.
The designers of this modification initially wrote a joke here about Powered Armor, but decided they didn't want to deal with the fallout.

And we're *still* waiting for the medication we need to treat Loki's ear infection (plus 2 others which will run out tonight). I know it's a very busy time of year, but this is getting ridiculous. I wonder if they'd let me pick it up from their depot.

Fuck it. My day did not get off to a great start, thanks to our slippery concrete. 😖 CW: mild gore.

This is... weird. It tastes almost fishy. Unfortunately I don't like fish. 😐

*sobbing* But he's been begging for treats, and is snoring at my feet now, so it's all worth it.

If you see this post a bird.

Fucking hell, this is awful. We've been to two vets already today, I don't know what else to do. Video is rubbish, but the sound is the important bit.

Shifty Cow@supergoofnz· Nov 14

This is not how I wanted to start my Saturday. Loki's breathing sounds terrible and he's very restless. A/H vet thought laryngeal paralysis, our regular vet thinks it's a heart issue. How to spend nearly $600 before lunch. 🫤 Ultrasound later in the week to look at his heart. 😢
