Saying Sean Hendy & Siouxsie Wiles should have stayed out of the limelight more (to stay safe) is the science equivalent of women shouldnโt go out alone at night.
Overheard two American tourists as they walked past the chemist: โI didnโt know New Zealand had pharmacies. I didnโt even know they had medicine.โ
I think all the Labour MPs that rocked up to the Big Gay Out should now be speaking up to prevent Posie Parker from coming to Aotearoa.
Anything else is performative.
This govt can actually get fucked. The harm theyโre physically & emotionally doing to us is beyond belief.
Iโm not sure who the cruel bastards are who voted for them. I certainly donโt count any of them amongst my best beloveds.
Can you imagine being the parents of these two teens and an infant who now have Covid? Imagine how distressing this must be. Hold fire on your judgey comments.
the anti-vaxxers have really done such great harm to our public health. babies shouldn't be getting diphtheria in the 21st C. Or Whooping Cough or Measles.
I got to thank my two colleagues who took my chest pain seriously so I was taken to ED and eventually had a procedure to fix things without any heart muscle damage. <3
Because our pay equity finally came through (backdated to Jan) I received a lump sum payment. This is going to allow me to take the children to my sister's wedding next year.
It also gives me the freedom to do some kinda dull stuff like go to the optometrist & the dentist.
In another win for perseverance V has a diagnosis today which they are happy for me to share.
(this is Vโs response to their diagnosis. A very personal response. We are well aware that for some other people it doesnโt feel this way. Arohanui to all.)
So proud of V. They applied for an assistant director role for a youth Shakespeare production in 2024 & just found out tonight that the role is theirโs.
Hey
@nzherald
- if you want to use my photographs for your story about the women protesting against sexual violence and police inaction you need to ask me first or at least give an attribution.
@NZStuff
contacted me directly and asked.
In an hour two of my kids will be double vaxxed. This will be a huge relief.
I really feel for parents whose kids canโt be vaccinated for whatever reason.
So bored of think pieces from every f*cker on why Akl canโt stay in Level 4 longer.
We can stay in Level 4 as long as it takes so that everyone in our communities are as safe as they can be.
I'm insufferable at the moment. So excited for the new house: 4 brms, open plan living / dining with kitchen off it, a bathroom & an ensuite & a freaking rumpus room.
plus a delightful deck off the living area & a fully fenced backyard.
I WILL NOT KNOW MYSELF.
Good news! Pโs bike has been found. Not stolen at all. Left outside the cafรฉ on our street & found by the dairy owner (the dairyโs next door to the cafรฉ) & kept safe overnight.
So thatโs a relief.
Miss Thingโs boyfriend signed a new contract with another building company today.
Thank you to everyone here who reached out / RTโd & all of your suggestions.
Less than 24hrs of unemployment!
When I was pregnant with twins and diagnosed with bipolar disorder I was under maternal mental health I was so loved. I had amazing pre-natal care. When I gave birth at Akl hosp and one of my twins was stillborn my team were right there. They came and they wept with me.
Ppl may not vote for Judith C / the Nats may not keep her on as leader even BUT (& this is the kicker) - her open & loud display of racism allows other racists to feel comfortable to express their racist views & acts.
And this makes Aotearoa a worse place to live.
I was so bold - I brought up Three Waters with two elderly white women in a Devonport cafรฉ.
They agreed with me that misinformation killed it & gave us this horrible govt.
An every day reminder that being a fuckwit is not a mental illness. It's being a fuckwit.
Plenty of us have a mental illness without being fuckwits.
Over and out.
The good bakery in the village has a sign up saying โOnly one in, one out pleaseโ
Woman in the queue: there isnโt any limit on numbers now.
Me: itโs their business they can do what they want to make their staff safe.
Our neighbour just leaned over the fence & gave us a bunch of school uniform items - incl two jerseys. Over $200 worth of hand me downs.

And if you want to believe an adult man over a female child you're fooling yourself.
Children, especially girls, have nothing to gain from having their lives dragged over coals, while an adult man pretends he did no harm.
At my work we are required to be masked all day. I would like some of you to consider when you enter a supermarket that is the workplace of people who really do need you to cover your faces to help protect them more.
