I thought I might do a wee reintroduction, since I’ve moved instances.
I’m Rochelle. I’m a cis pākehā woman & live in Ōtepoti with my husband & my cat Cooper. I have hEDS with pain, fatigue, etc. My husband has CFS.
I enjoy audiobooks, (lit fic, & translation), music (just listening) podcasts.
I love dance, & used to teach social ballroom, latin & street latin.
It’s a pleasure being here, no algorithms is so nice, as are you all. #nztwits
Hey #NZTwits this is an amazing charity that repairs and donates bikes to refugees and people in need. Please help them!
The only advice I have right now for looking after my bones (until I chat to my GP next week) is “avoid falls” (also bar room fights).
Turns out staying upright is some tricky shit. Luckily I landed on my other arm (and my face).
This was last night after I took my meds, just some grazes, no big deal. I think I just lost my balance when I was leaning forward. Gravity always wins, huh.
Consumer NZ has an interesting podcast- Consume This. Just been listening to their investigation into what happens to some ‘faulty’ (deliberately doctored so they are broken but very easily repaired) appliances. We really need to up our product stewardship game in this country 😬 #waste #recycling Here’s a written summary of the project, but I recommend listening to the podcast if you enjoy detective stories! https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/broken-appliances-are-they-repaired-or-dumped
Regular bus driver off (sick?) and the poor substitute clearly did *not* know the route. I gather he went to the completely wrong suburb before reaching me, and then kept getting lost until us passengers took over navigation for him. Hopefully it'll be easier now that it's light enough to see street signs.
They did it. They fucking did it. The whole west was crowing about how they’d finally suffer like all of us and they didn’t. It’s no coincidence that twitter won’t even let you RT Chinese news sources now. Being able to see what fucking cruel useless failures our leaders are compared to what’s possible is very dangerous
Still migraine. The pill helped but it’s persistent and it’s back again. Why? 😒
Actually… I ate something that might have had sulphites in it yesterday. Maybe that’s why 🤔😒
Now I can type with both hands again (in moderation!), I've written a blog post about my project to read all the Hugo award-winning novels 📚 #ScienceFiction #fantasy #solarpunk #BookRecommendations https://clarkesquill.com/2022/06/26/reading-the-hugo-award-winners/
I’m no skier or mountaineer, but this is an important message for any of you who are. Sun protection is critical at high altitudes in winter due to high UV levels. Please take care! I say this as one of the 4000 or so NZers who will be diagnosed with #melanoma this year 😬 https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/300622011/uv-exposure-risk-on-skifields-similar-to-round-of-golf-in-summer?cid=app-iPad
Aotearoa. Pākehā. Cis she/her. I read. I’m disabled. I have the best cat (all cats are best cats). Don’t be racist/nazi/misogynist/homophobe or transphobe & we can chat.
