Mega-tunnels and super highways (and convention centres and sports stadia) ARE "really attractive" – to the big businesses that have the National party's ear in the Koru lounge. They want *us* to pay for them, to keep their big companies making big bucks. The rest of us don't care about that shit.

It’s me, Peppy! Your friendly neighbourhood artist. I figured it was time for an intro post! I design art goodies that span the vibes from intricate and spooky to cute and goofy…inspired by magic and nature. Based in NZ, ship worldwide. You can check it out at pepperraccoon.com#Art#Kikorangi

The artist Pepper Raccoon, she’s wearing a black hoodie with horns, and her long brown curly hair is emerging from one side of the hood. She has nose piercings and winged black eyeliner
Two models wearing Pepper Raccoon tees in a graveyard. The femme presenting one is wearing a long Big Death Energy tee, platform converse, and glasses. She has tattoos and short brown wavy hair. The masc presenting one has a beanie and is crouching, also in a Big Death Energy Tee. The tee has a skull and a purple snake on it.
A cork board, the central focus of which is an enamel pin of a fat raccoon with heart eyes eating Chips (labelled chippos!)
A flat lay of three black and lavender bandanas, the visible portion of which is a dagger, ivy, and stars.

This book by @princesstehangi.bsky.social@thwupbooks.bsky.social said on the back cover, it’s “tempestuous and haunting” - I loved it so much. Might have to start again from the beginning …

Front cover of book Whaea Blue by Talia Marshall. Cover of book shows young Talia with white dress and hair up.

Mostly oven chips - cut into longs then roast with olive oil and salt then catch them when they’re starting to caramelize but before they burn!

(I actually opened the front door and looked out into the rainy night to see it coming in to land - Saturday night entertainment! 🤓 Family thinks I’m bonkers)

I can hear them from my house - the failure to land got my attention - which makes it extra fun. Feel I need to keep an eye on them until they’re safely down ✈️ ✈️
