Aw you guys! I contacted "Hard to find books" in Dunedin and get this: They are sending an original copy of it to me for the TDC guest, FREE!
They asked if I'd ust pop their bookmark in it - no way, I am gonna promote the bejingos out of them!
Isn't this amazing?💛Argh! SO good!
If you’re out and about and feel like looking in second hand book shops today .. I’m trying to find this book for one of the TDC guests 🦌 Happy to pay if you find it. DM me and I’ll transfer the money and give you an addy 🧡🙏
“Why does a dress cost $6995?” NZ Herald managing to sink lower than I ever imagined they could. Attacking the shop GG stole from. Amazing. Don’t click the link. It’s a paywalled piece of propaganda. Bloody hell, they’re pathetic.
I don’t hate many people but I will admit, I do despise ardern. I’ll never forget standing on the beehive lawn surrounded by strangers, all of us in tears, listening to Rory’s girlfriend. I hate hate hate the trauma jacinda has inflicted on so many kiwis 💔
#resignjacinda
The way labour is responding to the
#Convoy2022NZ
makes perfect sense. They thought they’d managed to make kiwis so pathetic / delicate this past few years that some bright lights, water and bad music would scare us away😆It’s had the exact opposite effect tho’!
#WeWillNotComply
Did a judge in NZ truly let a man off scot free for bashing an older woman? Normal every day kiwis need to stand up to this insanity and tell the system it is not OK. WTF 😡👎🏻
That a man can do this to a woman and be defended (or worse, celebrated) then let off by the “justice system” is just hard to fathom. Why are bullies and abusive activists untouchable / above the law in NZ? If this was my Mother I would be incandescent with rage right about now!
With thanks to
@SpiderCatNZ
I present Kraps new logo. In keeping with their anti women stance and the fact they support a man who orchestrated a rabid crowd to intimidate an international speaker, bash an elderly woman and bully attendees, I think it’s rather apt
#BoycottSparkNZ
Friend of mine today said her son was told by a teacher to “leave it at home” when he said grace over his lunch. He’s a cute wee 7yo of Christian faith. When quizzed it was due to “respect for other beliefs”. My Q is: What about HIS family and their beliefs? How does that work?
It’s not compulsory but you can’t go to uni, you’ll lose your job, you can’t visit or care for your elderly parents, you can’t get coffee, partake in fitness / go to the gym or have a haircut. I didn’t think anyone could be more .. disingenuous than ardern, I was wrong 👎🏻
Reporter “
@winstonpeters
wants to compensate those who were mandated out of their jobs and vaccine injured, does Labour support that?”
Prime Minister Hipkins “There were no compulsory vaccinations, people made their own choices” Thoughts on his statement?

we STILL have people with no power, no help, no end in sight. Seeing our elderly (75yo here) living in the mouldy shells of their homes or in cold sheds as we go into winter 💔 And what is this useless govt doing to help!? Red Cross!? Shame on you!
My neighbour died last night (I maintain 70 is too young to go!) His son, who flew in from Aus, is at the house looking very alone and forlorn. I just took him a little care package (hope he isn’t vegetarian!) Jane-made sausage rolls hot from the oven, a frozen lasagne + beer 💔
On what fucking planet is this an acceptable “punishment”!? Where is the sensible sentencing trust? Is this girl so worthless? Are girls in NZ worth so little now? This is appalling.. It’s time to start making a fuss people. This is SO not OK!!!
I’m on record saying she would wait 3 weeks so she could say it had nothing to do with
#Convoy2022NZ
but we all KNOW it has forced her hand. Take a bow, protestors! ♥️ You got her to admit (albeit tacitly) she was wrong.
We did it! 😀

#EndTheMandates
Got an exciting email today peeps - a bookseller who was surprised to find my little charity cookbook had been cancelled, has asked me if they can sell it .. more after I chat to them next week 🙌
Just took a huge load of bananas, apples, grapes, bread / scones + slaw to a local retirement village. One of the residents cried as she tried to give me $5, saying it meant she would have food ‘til next pension day. I hate that our elders are struggling in their final years 💔
“I would appreciate respect and care from the media whilst navigating this period of sobriety”.
Translation: I’ll pull the female, race and mental health card if you don’t protect me!
Could this be the final blow for Tori 🤔
Can someone remind me what this hand gesture symbolises? 🤔 I vaguely recall it was discussed as part of the
#LetWomenSpeak
“fracas”, last week but nahhh the
#nzoty
couldn’t possibly be doing “that”, during his acceptance speech ... could he??
This is sad cos it doesn’t affect me, our cyclone survivors are the people who benefit from the sale of TDC books.
It is ‘interesting’ that the owner of Wardini didn’t even discuss it with me, just instant judgement.
My Maori Mum would prolly laugh..
I think it’s beyond lame 🙄
Looking forward to hearing that our police force have hunted down and charged the people who committed this
#hatecrime
Surely it warrants an even larger fine than $16k too. I mean it’s a city icon and art, after all!
Watch this space ..
(but perhaps don’t hold your breath) 🙄
“NZ should become a republic” Dame Ardern, “Trust me I’m a Dr” Sir Doomfield. And now the lame duck.
If anyone didn’t regard these awards with anything but contempt after recent years, this latest one will prolly get you over the line 😄
Hi
@kristinhallNZ
I’m curious.
Did you delete this tweet you made due to the fact you suddenly realised it was wildly inappropriate, amazingly racist, ageist and grotty.
Or for other reasons?
I have cool news X! The Dinner Club cook book has been picked up by the distributors for Libraries across NZ!!
And ya know what?
It is VERY cool--cos it means people can read the book that perhaps couldn’t afford to buy it.
Or maybe they'll read then buy one, who knows.🧵
The CEO of a printing house that also does online sales has contacted me via
#RealityCheckRadio
after hearing about the Dinner Club cookbook (and situation with they-who-shall-not-be-named.)
They want to support / sell it on our behalf.
How cool is THAT! 🧡
@1NewsNZ
And yet all funds to support cyclone victims still not back in their homes here in HB have been canned. Is anyone interested in reporting on that sort of thing? Talk about an appalling misuse of funds. Luxon should be ashamed of himself.
Clearly the judicial system in NZ is rotten. Bash a granny, shoplift, drive drunk, rape someone? No worries. We got you fam.
But this? Ohh .. this is “assault” 🤦♀️
Just met a sweet old couple who came to buy some fruit off me. Said they were buying via FB marketplace to make ends meet. Going to drop them a wee box of preserves, cheese, veg, bread etc tmrw.
I HATE that our elderly are struggling to buy fricken food! 😡
#ResignJacinda
I mean we sort of expect a uni to be woke but
@SparkNZ
too? Curious to know if this is *the* company stance or some intern on the socials. Spark, please advise. Cos I don’t want to spend money with a company that backs someone who orchestrated an elderly woman being bashed! 👎🏻
I used to be a supporter of air nz but their eagerness to adopt ardern’s apartheid means they’ll never see another penny of mine. They may not care, but I do. (Their business class beds are the worst anyway!) 😅

He had pictures of babies being sexually abused ffs!! And all he gets is a wet bus ticket slap / home D and total anonymity to go on with his life as though nothing sick and repulsive happened?? Our justice system is f##

. Makes my blood boil 😡
I have been inundated with book orders (4 cartons are packed / waiting to go out by courier tmrw) I’ve had some lovely texts and phone calls from friends and TDC peeps, all of whom appreciate the effort we go to and wanted to check in.. so lovely.
All of you🙏🥹
Shit. My friend who’s previously very fit and healthy husband developed “rare” blood clots in his lungs last month - then was told he has turbo cancer - has had 2 strokes, in the last 48 hours and is unlikely to see the new year in.. 💔😡
It is 1 year ago today that ardern implemented her vax “pass” and created a 2-tier society where some kiwis couldn’t go to the gym, fine out, get a haircut or buy coffee.. For a jab that didn’t prevent transmission of the virus she wanted to eliminate 🤔
#NeverForgiveNeverForget
I see a bunch of MPs keep mentioning their mokopuna in the speeches at the opening of Parliament .. Does this mean they will finally start trying to work on preventing so many Māori from killing their babies?
Labour’s minister of justice drunk driving, crashing then resisting arrest sums up Labour and NZ to a tee, i.e.: they think rules don’t apply to them (and we are on a collision course for total chaos if we don’t vote them out!) and WHY won’t she be charged??
#nzpol
#KiriAllan
Swap the two people and imagine the outcry!? Is she the full quid this one? Certainly not the behaviour of someone you’d want running the country sheesh

She’s right. It’s not only disrespectful it’s downright idiotic. A flat chested man rocking a sports bra is going to inspire women to buy their gear how? 🤡🤦♀️🤣
#nike

Everyone is calling for a change from orange to green .. Me? I’d prefer we dump the whole stupid system and go back to the “old normal”, where those lunatic control freaks in govt can’t just decide they’re gonna restrict freedoms / lock people and places up!
#endthemandates
Bemuses me how labour luvvies and ardernites refuse to admit she ever said Covid vaccines would mean you won’t get sick and die.
Such a handy wee video to have ..
#NeverForget
@JamesMelville
“If you have the covid-19 vaccine you will get covid but you won’t get sick and you won’t die”, so says Jacinda Ardern, NZ prime minister. Apparently our hospitals are groaning with covid patients and >1400 kiwis have died to date🤦♀️
Just 24yo with a history of violence and now dead. The truly tragic thing is the lives he took 🥺 The blood of those killed today is on every damn judge that has dished out soft sentences of late..
Why are they all so soft on criminals??
Have police arrested / charged the people who tipped paint in various fountains last week? I mean if rainbows on roads being painted white = hate crime, I’d have thought icons and art being damaged would be just as hateful to our illustrious NZ police force.. esp on ANZAC day!
Well X, I have in my hands the 1st ever (proper, as opposed to proofs) printed copy of the
#TDC
cookbook!
This is the actual cover, sorry for those wanting comic sans ..😆
The website goes live tmrw and the mayor of Napier is launching it on 14th, the anniversary🧡Such a buzz!
Fuck, Twitter (not even x qty sorry for the profanity) 💔 My closest / fave cousin up north has “turbo cancer”. What is this new hell? 😡😡 She is a Mum of 4, busy, previously healthy nurse. And the nicest lady you ever met. Got jabbed to keep her job ..
Think my heart actually broke today. It’s a local boy’s 5th birthday .. And he’s homeless, w/ his Mum + 2 sisters.
I made up a box of treats, along w some staples. (I kinda figure if they’re in a car somewhere, they’ll hopefully still have *some* happiness in their day) 💔
This is the Dinner Club cover front and back. While I didn't have any comic sans in play and kinda knew what I wanted I didn't know HOW to do it so beautifully. That's where

BREAKING: Irish boxer Kellie Harrington, an Olympic Gold Medalist in 2021, has said she will REFUSE to compete against any boxers who are biological males at this Olympics.
Good for her! 👏👏👏
Plunket has a post on faecesbook about a boy who wasn’t allowed to give his speech at college (cos it critiques the current woke world)
Someone posted this as her reply (I legit thought as sarcasm) then I checked her profile ..
I can’t even type I’m in stitches here! 😂😅

seeing jacinda’s jackboot thugs aka nz police planking on a slender teen boy who was peacefully protesting at the parliament protest 👎🏻
How much interest would one get on $17m, in say a 90 day term deposit?
And why is Red Cross not releasing the bulk of the donated funds until August when the need is massive right now?
Dunedin principal Kristan Mouat “dies suddenly”. Of course this year no one can ask her vax status .. that was only allowed last year eh. The sudden death rates across the globe incl NZ are rather worrisome, wherever ya sit on the shot/not shot fence 😕
Do I understand this right? Unvaxxed kiwis have to enter MIQ even though to get here they had to test negative for covid. Whereas vaccinated kiwis can come in, test positive then toddle off home?
#resignjacinda
^^ <— just Cos
When blm riots were okay but funerals weren’t. When we couldn’t go to the gym “for our health”. When ardern became the self anointed single source of truth. When crocheted masks kept one safe .. So many things made so little sense .. What was your pick?
4th suicide has happened today (that I have heard of) here in

afflicted HB. The mood is dark. Affected residents are exhausted. (But as we’ve seen in recent years: some folk insist all is totz fine!?) What the hell do we do to help these poor souls?! #💞💔💞
I’m trying to find adequate words to express how much I appreciate you all, as we celebrate the end of 2023 (and 6 years of madness!)
It’s not coming to me, so instead I’m just going to say thank you for the footprints you have left in my life 💛

My Mother used to braid my hair. We ate home-made jam. She didn’t do yoga (but she did take us to church) and she loved to bake / care for her family. But she’s Maori so I’m confused .. 🤔 Ohhh: she was radicalised by my white “worked-2-jobs-loved-his-family” Father? 🙄
Just SO disappointed with kiwis right now!😡Went to the beach after lunch, slopped on my sunblock then noticed heaps of people without any!?!☀️If I wake up tmrw with sunstroke I know who to blame!! Had to come home for a cry and a lie down. My Kirihimete is no longer Meri! 😭🇺🇦
She didn’t reeeeaaaalllly think this thru’, did she? 🤔
Firing tradies who now not only have all the time in the world to attend a protest, also bring with them the skills to make our little village here function perfectly
(1 of 3)
You may remember I shared a story about these two a while back. Almost 80yo, living in their shed and sleeping in a caravan even now - 9 months post cyclone G. Well they’ve reopened their market garden vege shop. Aren’t they amazing!? I’m off to buy TDC goodies there today! 💚
Whoop whoop 🙌 We will be able to get some TDC cook books into the USA and Canada in a couple of weeks time!
I had better go do some admin / reply to some enquiries and pack some books up!
Have a groovy day tweepexers 🧡
Is it true? The speaker of the nut house has ordered covid advertising be played on loud speakers across parliament / out to the protesters? Oh my lord, they were already a laughing stock this is beyond a joke now 🤦♀️

Heard of 10 rural families hurting this week: Power STILL out. Generators the order of the day, whenever they return to work on their trashed homes and land. So a few friends and I did them up a wee box of kai to maybe make their week a tad less horrid 🥰

His wife,

Tis no wonder his heart broke when she died.. She was an amazing woman. Ferocious Mother (after an horrific childhood of her own)
We all got lucky to have her in our lives! ♥️🥺
