Holding back tears. I called Dad to warn re flooding. He bought sandbags after being flooded the other week, but still in car, too heavy to lift. I knew I couldn't help without damaging myself more. Asked on local community page, help arrived in minutes, many others offered❤️
First person to complain about Chippy “missing” appointments because his daughter is in hospital due to her Von Williebrandts disease can come and talk to me because I too have VWbD and it’s a fucker especially when you’re a child
Looked at going to the Van Gogh Alive exhibition. Well, not at $60. Comparison: The Lourve entry costs $25 NZ, Rijks Museum, $34 NZ. For hours of Grand Masters.
Art should be accessible to all, not just the well off.
Here’s a thought.
Be it Luxon, Collins, Bridges, English, Mueller … it’s not the Leader.
It’s unrelatable messaging.
It’s lack of Policy.
It’s the lies.
It’s the racism.
It’s lack of compassion.
It’s white privilege.
It’s the talking down.
It’s empty.

I’ve been contemplating your last week
@simonjbridges
You are against abortions, but you’re happy for the child to live in a rental home that is mouldy and cold, while the mother earns minimum wage.
hmm.
@jdpoc
Given us “Zeals” celebrate midnight “earlier” than the Aussies even, perhaps the rest of the world should stop being so late and party hard with us kiwis on time
A reason I didn’t press charges against my rapist was because his son was up for Jr All Black selection. Fucked Up? Yes. Because that’s what rape does to you. It fucks you up.
8 years later, men doing sport is still more important than men raping women.
I really want to do a whip around to send Richard Hills something wonderful for his amazing Mahi. Flowers, dinner voucher, something like that. DM if you’re keen, and I’ll sort next week.
As a female business owner who supports Prime Minister
@jacindaardern
I find this demeaning to all women and utterly disrespectful to our PM.
Do better, NBR.
Women do not have to smile just to please men.
MEMBER SUBSCRIBER COMMENT: A fair point made above where we see (again) Jacinda McFrownyface announce the conclusion of an investigation before its even begun. If she already knows its petrol companies then why pass a law to investigate?
Here me out. A playcenter, but for groanups. Messy play area, outdoor swings, physical play area to hit and bang things, a corner to sit and be still, corner to scream in, a sing zone, a dance pad, a hill to zoom down on cardboard, a silent disco, and a car to cry in.
@ask_aubry
She’s brought into her own narrative that no one else can care for her son like her. Yes he has high needs, but her ego is feed on the value of being his carer. She’s nothing if he is not there, she cant relate to other situations. I’d say she’s also ND.
Her poor daughter.
shout out to Countdown Glenfield and the checkout operator who put through my Dad’s small item supermarket shop including two Cornish Pasties for over $700 but sent him on his way without thinking it was incorrect, leaving an old man very confused and worried
So National deliberately leaked private health information in an effort to prove that Labour didn’t regard the health information as private?
#NationalNotFitToGovern
Dear
@NZStuff
wtf is going on? Your misogyny, political preference and loathing of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is showing. We all see it. Where’s you fair reporting? Check your journalism, it seems to be frothing from all the Lux Flakes.
That incredibly sad moment when you finish your coffee but don’t realise it was the last sip, and go back for another sip, but there’s no coffee to be had.
FYI.
Feed the children.
It doesn’t matter the circumstances of the adults.
I repeat, it doesn’t matter the circumstances of the adults.
It a child is hungry. If the child hasn’t been fed.
Feed the child.
Feed the child.
Hi
@nzpost
is it normal for your couriers to press doorbells and walk away immediately without leaving the parcel, no time to get to door? Because I have this on camera. I caught up to him in seconds, he said he didn’t think we were home. Both our cars parked by door. 12.46pm.
Thanks for your aroha xx
Last night I was told my alcoholic birth mother is terminal in hospice. Our friend in the UK spent last week convincing her I had to know.
We had a complicated relationship for 37 yrs, estranged last 8.
I am angry. sad.
I am Devastated.
NZ, where someone on Facebook posts they’ve found a Christmas card from 1940 address to xxxx while renovating, 2 mins later someone responds that xxxx is their cousin and another 34 mins later xxxx has asked to be called about her Christmas card

Landlords are putting our rent up by $80 a week for 12 months and have confirmed it will go up again as soon as that 12th month rolls over.
But yeah
@chrisluxonmp
your landlord tax cuts are really helping our cost of living crisis.
It’s fucking us up. Actually.
#BREAKING

@emrazz
When I first became consciously aware of those uncomfortable feelings, 6 years old, Creepy Uncle. Mid teens ran into ���family friend” I knew as a 2-3-4 yr old, he went to hug me, I froze, felt sick. So yeah, subconsciously aware I was uncomfortable since I could walk.
Saw tree start to fall towards corner of house/kitchen across where internet cable attaches. Yelled to husband in his office, he went to get a saw, I ran to hold tree up. HEAVY. Got Husband to call neighbour’s 👫👭 together we all got tree down safely. Yay good neighbours 💛
I cannot help but slightly smile at my friend, a massive prepper for years, with container loads of food meds toiletries hidden under her purpose built prepper off-grid hideaway.
Which she built in the coromandel.
That she couldn’t get to due to the last storm/buggered roads.
Non Aucklanders. Please Stop telling Aucklander’s “YOU GOT THIS”.
Many many people are mentally anguished. Broke. Many. They aint got this.
Support SML Auckland businesses when they open. Support Auckland friends when they need a weekend away.
But don’t do platitudes.

To everyone concerned about
@WendyWings
She’s currently in a flare of a Chronic Condition, so while she will feel better, she won’t ever be “better”. This is effecting her emotionally and she needs some time. She is very grateful for your care, hugs & wishes.
The saddest news. Third twitter loss 💔 Hugs to all feeling it. Whether you met
@MotherOfMeeps
or not, she added such beautiful joy to NZ twitter, know it’s okay to grieve if she touched your life online only.
Rest in Meeps. ❤️🩹
thank you for all your love 💕 I’ve got a room of my own with a view, a vegetarian dinner within mins of settling, and apparently, regular pain meds charted. Pain is still at screaming level, but at least the walls are thick.
This entire special is great but every man has two minutes and eighteen seconds that they can decide to give to this clip. If you decide that you don’t have two minutes and eighteen seconds for it, that makes you ordinary, and we are not at all surprised.
Nurse was told MRI is apparently scheduled again for this afternoon. Before she left, Nurse asked if there was anything else I needed or she could do for me. I said all I need is a hug, but knew that wasnt in her job description, because professional boundaries
She gave me a hug.
Sitting here crying 😭😭😭as checked donations towards Angelos vet care, it’s at $2536 😱 I can’t work out who is who from twitter @ vs real names but you two who’ve put $200 and $750 !!! Holy shit thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️Thank you thank you to all $10, $20, $30, $50, $100 ❤️😭

@braziernz
SORRY I CANT PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TWEET, TOO BUSY LISTENING TO THE ADS IN THE MOMENT OF SILENCE
You are literally being inappropriate. Apologise publicly and replay this moment of silence in tomorrow nights 6pm news. The whole moment.
Overheard the nicest thing at work today at work.
Practitioner I’ve only known since 10am this morning, was talking to Manager in the staff room at 2pm
“Can we keep >my name< please?”
Watched a man get incredibly angry at his partner. She sat calm as, but as soon as he put his hand on her shoulder and screamed in her ear, I walked over and reminded him that’s not a way a man behaves. He breathed, I said it again, and he calmed down.
@JackyNinjakitty
Yes but only after he went back and managed to get someone to listen to him. Not easy for an elderly man to do with a walking stick. I’m horrified the checkout operator didn’t think it was wrong!
I’m here, I’m alive, I’m very sweary and I’ve become a pro at pushing the call button for drugs when I need them every hour or two. MRI will be happening tonight.
I had the delight of having a Tweet Up in my Hospital Room. Two gorgeous tweeps brought colour into my day 💛💖
Don’t come crying when you’re redundant from your government job, you lose the childcare subsidy, prescriptions cost again, your parents lose the winter energy supplement, you get giarda in Epsom, your bach floods due to lack of climate action, and house prices rise again.
💚❤️
