A tiny poem for your Friday

Dawn 🌄

The early bird
Does not need
To get the worm
Sometimes it is enough
Just to see the light
And to sing

🎶🐦🎶

Beam me up, laserkiwi!

I suppose I should do an #introduction 👋

I'm a postgrad student doing my MA in military history & learning to fly, on top of my day job. Love all things maritime, aviation or train related & also storytelling (writing, choreography, etc). I'm a keen traveller when the world allows & try to make the most of my own backyard (NZ /Oz) when it doesn't. Oh, and I love trees. Those who know me from twitter can tell you how much I love trees! 🌲 🍃 🌱 💚

I overuse emoji & I regret nothing.😎

Flying plans postponed due to weather, boooo.

Will have to listen to Snoopy's Christmas 56,000 more times while I study instead.

I'm not sure what the recommended follows etiquette is here, but FYI for my fellow #aviation lovers: I found @Aviation_Librarian and am thoroughly enjoying their retro plane nerd goodness. 🛩️ ✈️ 🤓

Thunder, lightning, hail

Welly folk, the sky has just gotten very, very dark 😬 and the rain strengthened tenfold in my part of town, so please take care if you must go out in this.

I was just having a conversation elsewhere about getting emotional about people being kind to each other.

So, I just wanna say: don't think that kindness or decency, no matter how small, go unnoticed. They don't, and they can make a big difference to someone's day.

Please also let us know if you need anything.

Extra aroha to any of our fedi friends in the Levin area today. Hope you're OK. ❤️

Take care out there folks.

OK, what is with a company saying you can't update your email address for "security reasons" and must make an entirely new account to change your email?

How come every other company in the world can do this, in a seemingly secure manner, but this one can't? 🤷‍♀️

I've had "Snoopy's Christmas" stuck in my head all week and I'm happy for it to stay because I absolutely, completely, unapologetically LOVE this song.

Good evening all

I have good music and good food and am very chilled right now.

Wishing some of this peacefulness your way, fedi friends.

Good evening fedi friends

It's a beautiful day and I got a free muffin. ☕🍰

For those who were following along on my tiny plane assembly adventures, may I present Wing Commander Kiwi and the Squadron of Smol (Mustang, Skyhawk, Vampire, Kittyhawk, Spitfire and Aermacchi).

Hmmm, earlier I switched the language I see toots in only English and there's still a ton of not English in my federated timeline. Does this mean people are setting their posting language to English even when it's not? Why?

(Not dunking on anyone, just curious 🤷‍♀️ )

A question for fediverse tech folk:

I'm thinking of organisisng a postcard swap or similar in future & there's no way to do this without exchanging addresses somehow. So, my question is, what's the most secure way to do this? Any and all suggestions appreciated.
