- Tomorrow I am going to throw one more tall vase because one has a crack, two lidded palletttes for gouache, and more lids. Pretty sure you can never have too many lids . . . And maybe some candle holders for more poured candles.
- If anyone knows of a beekeeper who sells wax (unprocessed is fine!) cheap, please send them my way! I want to do more candles, but Spotlight wax is way too expensive.
- Whoopsy daisy
- Now is the time to send your good thoughts to people in charge of administering and governing a New Zealand Incorporated Society.
- I suspect syndication is the key missing bit. Pretty sure a significant part of the revenue is in the republishing of news stories rather than direct from consumers. So a website or even a print paper doesn't solve that piece of the puzzle.
- Seems bad
- I was trying to remember when I last left my neighbourhood and I uhhhh it's been almost 2 weeks. Not sure if I'm living my best life or suffering from agoraphobia. Mostly, I just don't have anywhere to go because I work from home.

- Just to be clear, that's why I am not a Democrat and will not vote for them.
- Sigh, again I seem to have been followed and celebrated by a bunch of US political weirdos. So . . . Biden was wrong to run, Kamala didn't deserve to win, the Democrats are just as at fault for Trump, and the US is an empire that should collapse. Now go away and leave me be.
- Pretty sure most of these accounts are inauthentic and will be mobilised for disinformation campaigns during the US election. Do not want them anywhere near me . . .
- This has been so incredibly clear and out in the open for so long. How is it that people still don't get it?
