@traskjd I guess it depends on which measure. From a sheer uptake point of view, yeah probably. But it seems to have hit its straps as a safer, more inclusive community for minorities and people who just want to play nice, so from that point of view, I think it's been more of a success.

It's Maori Language Week in New Zealand! Here's how to order a coffee in NZ. #tewikiotereo

It's raining in my home town tonight. How much rain, you ask?

All of it.

Help me with some Japanese? What does 心の病 mean? Mental illness?

Very fun win tonight at cricket despite being a player down. My field work sucked but at least the batting made up for it. 🏏

Apparently there's a really surprising number of people out there who genuinely (seem to) believe in a flat earth.
I mean, I knew about that "Flat Earth Society"; I just didn't think it would be popular. At all. By any reasonable measure.
Some people are really fucking mental!!

OMG throwback to the 80s. Just had this pop up on my playlist randomly.
Can you top this for underrated cliché 80s hits? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKhN1t_7PEY

@Elizafox It's a good thing to express that stuff. Being sad and internalising negative thoughts will only reinforce that single train of thought. You have people here who want to build you up and support you.

I have a blog post in mind that I want to write about leadership, teams, culture and safety.
All well and good until I have to consider whether management at my own company might see it as a personal attack.

Two more exciting games of cricket! Two clinical wins in two games. 🏏
Bloody cold though

@Elizafox It's really cold this week. 😁 http://www.metservice.com/towns-cities/dunedin#!/ten-day

And bear in mind these temperature forecasts are optimistic and in degrees celcius.

It's so cold, I could fuck a space heater. #Dunedin #winter

@Elizafox What's a fortune file?

Two brilliant back-to-back games of cricket tonight. Both comfortable wins! Plus feeling very satisfied with my field game too, with a 5 wicket bag! Happy vibes.
