It’s not just that unemployment is up 28% since the govt took office it’s that they engineered it! If you have the faintest clue about how the economy works you know that cutting public spending impacts the private sector immediately. The govt is the private sector’s BIGGEST customer.

Oh yay! I am here if you want any more support or just kudos for being so amazing

I feel very good about this. So many expenses and receipts but done!

All sorts of nut butters work well in this format. Even the nut free 'sun butters' do if you are navigating allergies.

I haven't used brown sugar... maybe I will try it.
I do use sea salt sometimes. Last batch I did as ice cream sandwiches which were delish

Just a reminder that the Gov't can MAKE MONEY APPEAR to pay for things that matter to them. They made money for landlords and space but not for education, science, housing, or homelessness...... people tell you what matters with their actions.

This is similar to my peanut butter cookies.
1 c peanut butter
1 c icing sugar or white sugar

I mean food safety should definitely outrank flavour IMO

For me everything is tied to my 5:45am wake up. I am not waiting until 7 or 8 for dinner without having to add in an extra snack.

Fresh end up having a really intense flavour almost like candy. Kiwi fruit are best from fresh too, but I might try the full size canned pineapple rings to see if they are more intense

& while many might say fast fashion doesn't matter b/c it doesn't stick around they would be wrong. That $8 shirt won't last but the eating disorder to look good in it will. The slave labour jeans won't make it to Christmas, but the fat shaming and internal harm hearing it will last for decades

The place I am seeing thin is in: ness is on visual social media and celebrity gossip places (online magazines etc.) but the thing that is creeping up is the youth focussed clothing brands doing it with 2000's designs returning. There is no room for extra weight in ultra low rise clothing

NCEA is older than smart phones. Windows XP was released the October before NCEA began its phase-in. I have grown from a 15 year old to a 38 year old since NCEA began.

Lets face it... if you don't understand how NCEA works at this point, you've never cared...

I just want to say that I resent pomodoro's for working and equally, I love them.
If you are like me a stack might work better for you. I do a pyramid with a tiered segment of 10/15/20/25/30/25/20/15/10 all broken by 5 minute rests
They help me so much

Libraries (and librarians) are the very best thing

A book stall in the rubble nourishes hungry minds If people can no longer get to the books, then the books must come to them.

Books have always been a source of solace and joy for me even my the hardest times. It seems that those in Gaza are feeling the this in times harder than I can imagine.

This is so beautiful and wholesome

Flood of reports continue from Kiwis being deleted or moved off the Maori roll. This concerns every single Kiwi who cares about NZ.

Tomorrow is the cut off for local elections & next step is more complex special voting. EC says they've moved some to dormant but reports are highly suspect
