I guess it's not often that people admit that they are wrong, but I've thought about this, and I have realised that a careless tweet that I made actually went against my own principles and I'd like your thoughts on it! So this was the tweet I was talking bout: https://twitter.com/vivster81/statuses/440959233392001024 I got some typical … Continue reading I Was Wrong

PRIDE! and Unicorns!
I had THE MOST AWESOME Saturday night and so did thousands of people! It was the second ever Pride Parade in Auckland! (not including all the Hero parades we have had in the past!) It was the culmination of two weeks of <<insert superlative complimentary adjectives>> Pride celebrations! I marched with the Amnesty Aotearoa crew … Continue reading PRIDE! and Unicorns!
Mainstream Music – does it matter?
Amnesty International hosted a concert in Brooklyn, New York, USA, yesterday. I had read about the line up a few weeks ago and thought to myself "WOW", which was quickly followed by a teeny wee bit of jealousy, as I work for the local NZ flavour of Amnesty, and we are just too far away … Continue reading Mainstream Music – does it matter?
Nemo’s Reef!
So, i've been pretty obsessed with a game on my Surface since just before Christmas. It is called Nemo's Reef. (see links below on the three major platforms) It's pretty much Command & Conquer without the fighting. You are Nemo living in the Reef with your dad Marlin and you have to build a home … Continue reading Nemo’s Reef!
Happy New Year! (and Turduckin)
Happy New Year everyone!!! Been quiet on the blogging front so I thought I'd be lazy and just post a photo gallery! Some of you guys were interested in my tweets bout Turduckin before XMas, so without further ado, here is how it went down (*burp*)
The Achilles Effect
I read the most amazing book last night. I am a unashamed loud and proud feminist. I thought I knew all there was to know about gendered marketing and sexism. I thought that I was safe from all that with my two boys. Boy was I wrong. I'd, of course, always been personally affected by … Continue reading The Achilles Effect
Science & Maths
Yep, I'm a self-confessed Tiger Mom. I have a real tension (within my own head) about how to raise my boys. My oldest is just finishing up his first year of school this week. He is currently enrolled in swimming lessons, karate lessons, piano lessons and Kumon Maths. This looks to continue for the next … Continue reading Science & Maths
ARRGH
TRIGGER WARNING So the slight irony here is that my previous post was entitled "Glad to be home". Since then, we've had the entire Roastbuster's story (see links below) and lots and lots in all sorts of popular media about rape and what it means. Then this morning I see a link about "Anti-Rape wear"! … Continue reading ARRGH
Glad to be home!
So my last post said that it was probably gonna be one of two. How right I was! I guess it's not really psychic ability, more like I know how lazy I am 🙂 In fact, this post wouldn't have happened at all except that I read an article which reminded me of something that … Continue reading Glad to be home!
Cultural Clash!
This will hopefully be the first of a few blogs chronicling my trip to Aus and working with the team at Amnesty Australia! It will most likely be one of two as I forget about this and get to a big round up when I get back! Thought I would start here though, sitting in … Continue reading Cultural Clash!
