Not relevant to your post but someone admired my Trees Please t-shirt at the gym today and I wanted to tell you.

The Danish public swimming pool was a revelation compared to NZ. I'm now revolted by everyone walking poolside in their street shoes.

Turns out there a a lot of people who also enjoy my slightly niche guilty pleasure. Couldn't persuade anyone to come with me though. #dungeoncrawlercarl

As far as I can tell from stats nz, about 1000 babies per year are born to people under 18. "Pregnant women" doesn't come close to including everyone who can become pregnant. Their transphobia gets in the way of clear communication.

If you have been wondering about using MEVO, they are giving a $40 credit when you connect your aa membership. I used one today and it was super easy and relatively affordable.

I'm sad to hear about Nikki Kaye. She was a good constituency MP and she did the reading. We need more of that on all sides.
