25, māori (ngāti raukawa, ngāti toa, te āti awa, ngāti pākehā). i live in aotearoa new zealand :-)
queer of various flavors, gender is dyke, it/its. i don’t really care what pronouns you use for me, go ham! it/its is always safe though
deafcrip, bipolar I, multiply physically disabled. i am a cripple and a wheelchair user. autistic & ADHD, but that’s obvious if you speak to me even one (1) time
ask me about public transit and aotearoa’s native birds! BIG fan of public transit and infrastructure, especially the disability accessibility of transit systems. my favorite native birds are the south island kōkako, pūtangitangi, and tūī

hate that h*milton was full to the brim with absolute bangers and vocal talent because i really wish it wasnt h*milton about it

like firstly the whole "death doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints it takes and it takes and it takes and we keep living anyway we rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes and if there's a reason that i'm still alive when everyone who loves me has died i'm willing to wait for it" is good on its own but the segue into "i am the one thing in life i can control i am inimitable i am an original i'm not falling behind or running late i'm not standing still i'm lying in wait". and it's fucking h*milton.

also "I know my sister like I know my own mind you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind. And a million years ago she said to me: “This one's mine!” So I stood by... Do you know why? I love my sister more than anything in this life! I would choose her happiness over mine every time!"

see the thing is though i genuinely do not like Hamilton The Musical. i have seen it once and found it borderline unwatchable and definitely wouldn’t watch it again by choice. i also don’t like the Hamilton Of It All. but i *do* like the actual musical numbers. but i personally don’t think that - for me at least - that is equal to actually liking Hamilton As A Whole. i suppose if you separate the actual stageplay and broadway runs and soundtrack then sure i like hamilton for the soundtrack, but i don’t like the actual performance aspect of the musical lol

.txt and i feel the same about dear evan hansen except that was ACTUALLY unwatchable for me because i hated it so much i do fuck with the soundtrack though vs like. idk RENT i like both the stageplay and also the soundtrack so i consider myself a fan of RENT The Musical™but it's not the same for me with hamilton and i really didn't enjoy it lol it's not a killing my cringe thing for me i just straight up don't like the rest of hamilton so i wouldn't consider myself a fan of hamilton in that regard

the sign disappeared for a bit and i thought perhaps they were replacing it with a sign that actually says “bus stop”, but no, the bus is still temporarily topping

.txt it's not that i care if people see it it's just more comfortable if my jeans are over top vs trapped between the brace and my leg and getting bunched up i do just need to modify the legs of my jeans i think. add some elastic to the seam because otherwise i have one pair of walking jeans and the rest are wheelchair jeans lol but i don't have elastic... should get some....

Ritchies Transport №333 [Scania K230UB/Designline "Enviroline"] seen turning into the Papatoetoe station stops on an off-peak 36 to Manukau earlier today.

333 was transferred from Dunedin, having previously done services in Christchurch.

squints. is this the evil bus. i can SEE she has blue poles.hold on. i have to go check something.ok so no it's not that was RT363 which ALSO got sent to auckland but 363 and 333 are identical as far as i can tell sorry op context for op and non local mutuals this is the stupid bus that isn't actually wheelchair accessible and it was running on the chch 3 and 8 buses for a while and i kept making complaints and eventually then it got sent to be used by AT instead technically it's low floor and can kneel but you quite literally can't fit down the aisle in a wheelchair transit local transit bus
