White Island (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 02:15:34 +0000

After saying ‘I’m Back‘ a few days ago, there was nothing more on the site to encourage you to believe me. I’ve been writing about the topics that got a mention in that post. But, short of posting boring videos of me tapping away, there’s no way to prove that. Further, it produces no immediately […]

I’m Back (plus Tweets and other Stuff)

Heather Hastie — Sun, 08 Dec 2019 01:50:35 +0000

Though obviously not with the presence of The Terminator! There are, of course, a lot of other cool examples of the use of this phrase in popular culture, but Arnie’s my favourite. This post, mostly comprising of tweets, is to ease me gradually into the habit of writing and posting again. It’s been several months, […]

The Direction of World Politics (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 03:00:40 +0000

It’s been a while, so I thought I should at least attempt a Tweets Post. There are a couple of things to catch you up on in my personal life. Firstly, things are much better now I have a decent chair. However, the damage done while I was waiting for that to happen hasn’t gone […]

Anti-Semitism in the US (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Mon, 29 Oct 2018 01:46:37 +0000

Most days I see examples of the fact of the high level racism in the US*. In particular, there is plenty of exposure of the racism against African-, Hispanic-, Latino-, and Native-Americans on my TV screen. When it comes to the sites I look at on the internet, the focus seems to me more about […]

The NRA Bait and Switch (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Sun, 02 Sep 2018 04:28:32 +0000

Since the horrific killings of Eli Clayton (21) and Taylor Robertson (27) (pictured left) at a gamer tournament in Florida, the media is full of stories about the problem with video games. We’re being led to believe that it’s gamer culture that’s the issue here. That, apparently, is what led to 24-year-old David Katz opening […]

Trump’s Anti-Media Attitude (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Mon, 27 Aug 2018 06:02:25 +0000

Hi everybody. It’s about time I did a post to justify my existence, so here I am. I was having a look at Twitter and found some nice tweets, and thought I could put them in a post. Then, of course, I had to think of something to write about. A fellow NZ atheist took […]

Update III, Helsinki, Trump, Putin, and Tweets

Heather Hastie — Sun, 22 Jul 2018 06:09:28 +0000

Hopefully, this is the last of these just-to-keep-things-ticking-over-with-some-tweets posts. Last week, I had a Needs Assessment by an Occupational Therapist. As a result, I’m expecting a new chair within the next week or so. Otherwise things are pretty much the same on the home front. “My cat” (really the neighbour’s cat who has chosen me […]

Catching Up Again! (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Sat, 07 Jul 2018 04:59:42 +0000

Hello everybody. I’m still in apology mode I’m afraid. My new chair isn’t here yet, though I’m expecting it some time next week. It can’t come soon enough! The pain is getting worse with each passing day, and it’s getting harder and harder to get through those days. So a few tweets and other items […]

Catching Up (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Sat, 30 Jun 2018 06:05:41 +0000

My apologies for another long break between posts. I thought I should explain, and also use the opportunity to post some videos and tweets. I’ve been out of town visiting the doc, which always takes me a while to recover from. In addition, my electric lift armchair is broken. Coping without it is difficult. The […]

Kakapo Lego (plus Tweets)

Heather Hastie — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 03:40:07 +0000

Regular readers will be aware I’m a Lego fan. I didn’t have any when I was a kid, but I’ve bought some as an adult. Nieces and nephews coming along was really cool, because it gave me an excuse to buy a lot more. It’s amazing how much of it stays at my place … […]
