It’s not an emergency, just a ✨ medical crisis ✨
lol I’m drowning in my own lungs. That’s your health update.
doctor this week to get the shit that makes me cough my ass off and hopefully clears me up. Yep.
Disability life be like I guess? I’m too nauseated through periset to be funny.
Dropping excess kumura starts in my local pātaka Kai. If you have excess seedlings or starts, consider donating them in this way, you never know who needs just a few more plants for their garden. Work together for food sovereignty. <3
Israel has kidnapped three New Zealand citizens, among over 200 others, from international waters and the New Zealand government has shrugged and said that’s just too bad.
Kiwis being taken off boats in international waters at the behest of USA allies is a dangerous prescident to set.
Is our government seriously gonna be "oh well sucks to be them" about NZ citizens being taken hostage? The fuck #nzpol
Screenshot of an instragram post by the user ‘che_jim’ that states: “Charlie Kirk was a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, sexist, white nationalist mouthpiece who made millions of dollars inciting hatred in this country. Whether it was his genocide denial, his transphobic tirades, his pushing for mass deportations, or his normalizing Trumpism for years, the man stood for nothing but hate. I extend absolutely no empathy for people like that. In this situation, my empathy is reserved for his children. May they grow up to live in a country that is the total opposite of everything their father envisioned. May all of our children grow up to live in a country that values their lives enough to take gun violence seriously and reject any person who would try to justify senseless gun-related deaths - especially the deaths of children.”
Sums the feelings up fairly well
Finished filling my hydro and am now green housing a ton of excess seedlings to donate in my community. More will be ready to come out of my humidity tank in about a week. #feedingpeople

Lifts aren’t disability access. Actual disability access would mean graded ramps we can get up and down. People with POTS and a number of other conditions faint in lifts, so even when they are working they are inaccessible for many disabled people.
The only thing the CoC has listened to in this govt was the Hikoi. When are we marching again?

The only thing they’ve listened to this entire time they’ve been in govt has been the hikoi. When are we marching again?
A piwakawaka has moved into my garden about 2 weeks ago and seems quite chuffed with the clothesline.
The fact that McSkimmings was allowed to resign and that Mitchell hasn’t stepped down is honestly all the proof I needed that the nz police still would rather protect abusers than actual victims and that they are the biggest abusers in NZ, still.

Lots of places to sit as well. The track was mostly packed gravel with some ups and downs, no washouts or major hurdles to movement. Beach access is not mobility friendly outside of the main carpark which does have a ramp.
Hiking the Motu Trails over the next few months. Today was the Tirohanga Dunes Trail along Hikuwai beach! Bonus Whakaari included!
This trail was taken care of and smooth enough for mobility aid usage, but I would have struggled if it had been a pushchair day.

So that’s only for the primary. In the actual election you don’t have to be registered with any party. But to influence who the party picks as a candidate you do.
I can't believe the PM was in Hawaii and they intentionally scheduled the RSB Select Committee over this period. He also didn't even bother coming back for the floods.

Birthday lamington!
37 starting out right. Unseasonal strawberries and some gorgeous Aotearoa with my partner. Today’s plan is some time on the Motu Trails and a few hours in the garden.
If we're going to keep this "run a govt like a household" thing, govt debt isn't a credit card: it's a mortgage.
You get a mortgage to buy a home & it's seen as an investment. Refinance to cover the cost of important repairs or renovations.

Yep. We DO have the tools to change this. *Pick them up*. They're *crying out to be used*. There's lots we can do between elections, so when that time comes, we can elect the sort of government I think we all *know* we *need*. Any descent into nihilism now will only serve this current govt.

What I'd just say to you is, I've always been a bit of a tradwife ladies man.

“Health NZ hid and removed key mental health worker shortage numbers in an official report.
3News reported that a draft version of a plan to increase mental health worker numbers showed nearly 1500 workers were required, but when the final report was released, those key numbers disappeared.”

We are on conservative and down almost 8,000 as of this morning between my partner and I. Even the better plans aren’t stopping it. =\
