An old pine tree has fallen across the road taking the power lines with it.
Wellington peeps, if you need one, this is your go home stay home warning.
Weird anxiety flashback to 2020 as I was doing welfare calls this afternoon.
In extreme weather events, communication is v important:
🔌 keep devices charged
🔋 prep any backup power options (portable power banks, generators, EV) you may have
🧑🧒🧒 check in with whānau and have a plan for what you’ll do if you lose comms
📻 have a radio (windup or battery operated) handy
A state of emergency has been declared in Wellington, as torrential localised downpours flood suburbs with little warning.

I am not expecting you to work for free, I am of course happy to pay for your assistance.
"There is no trade-off between fixing the cost of living, addressing the fossil-fuel crisis and climate crisis. They are the same problem, all driven by the same rules that prioritise profit over people and planet," Swarbrick said.

I finished Gleam by Raven Kennedy and started this cute and cosy novel. share.libbyapp.com/title/11969492
Under a photo of the author Mohamad Safa quote reads: If you can't attord to pay a living wage, you can't attord to be in business entitlement at it's finest. You are asking human beings to use their lives to subsidize your desire to own a business. If a job is worth being done it’s worth being paid enough to live
“My business will go under if I pay a Living Wage” is a poor excuse for poverty wages. You need a better business plan. #nzpol

Imagine the records that will be broken if the coalition is voted in again - right along with further targeting of vulnerable communities, continued cronyism and support for the transnational crime syndicate that is the US, and the continued, deliberate erosion of democracy into end times fascism.
I refuse to work on the only day of the year that is allowed to be entirely about me.
Crown to sole!
If you have endless amounts of rage, that you do not know where to put, focus on your school system.
Shake all the tables.
The school system isn't necessarily broken. It is under-fucking-funded.
In a lot of places, it is based on the zip codes tax money.
I've started reading Gleam by Raven Kennedy.
I dnf-ed the bookshop book as I couldn't get into the rhythm of the writing.
A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.
For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead.
One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.
I just realised I'm an adult and I can make pancakes if I'm hungry even if it's 10pm.
No wonder Yuri made it back to Earth, he needed to get away from the goddamn RIBENA COTTAGE CHEESE
I think I'm in a flare. I also wonder if I was off by a centimetre or two when I did my jab on Wednesday.
I'm in enough pain that I can't sleep past 5am and I can't get comfortable overnight.
I'm feeling more than a little miserable.
#AnkylosingSpondylitis sucks!
