The increased falls are making me more anxious. Will be having a chat with my GP next week.

Beckie @fitkiwi.bsky.social · 8h

I am. Pretty shaken up though, had to crawl out of the shower. I'm getting quite anxious at the thought of breaking a hip 😢. Going to get a suction grab bar for the shower at the flat.

Yes of course I had a fall while I've been in Ōtautahi. Slipped in the shower and landed heavily on my sitting bones. From now on when I travel, I'll request a room that has grab bars in the bathroom.

Excluding survivors of state abuse from redress because of their subsequent actions is a horrific move. Rights aren't rights if they can be disregarded when they're inconvenient.

Govt to make it harder for some abuse survivors to get redress

The same week the Government announces the Solicitor-General is leaving the role, the coalition has introduced legislation that will further shield the state from taking responsibility for the horrifi...

That's a total rort, not so long ago it was half that price!

Really enjoying my time in Ōtautahi and I'm getting in a mega tonne of steps. Did the city tram loop today and tomorrow afternoon, I'll take a ride on the gondola.

The rebuild looks outstanding!

Ōtautahi, I'm in town from this afternoon until Friday. I'll be free tonight for dinner and lunch tomorrow if any of you are free. Flick me a DM 😊

Dear friends, please read this. 😔

We owe it to our one and only living planet, not to turn away. To be uninformed is to be powerless indeed. We have to face reality, no matter how painful, to have ANY hope at all of driving the positive change we need.

Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’

Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Can’t wait to see the regulatory impact statement that outlines the impact of this decision on everyone who isn’t a farmer

Government lowers methane target, rules out methane taxes

The government is lowering its biogenic methane target for the next 25 years and is ruling out agricultural taxes on methane emissions.

Mind blowing.

The Luxon Government has confirmed it will rewrite NZ’s once bipartisan climate change law to dilute methane reduction targets and PERMANENTLY exclude dairy from the Emissions Trading Scheme – a move Greenpeace says amounts to full-blown climate denial.

They've never been left. They're a tiny bit left of of National but still very conservative. The only true left parties are the Greens and TPM.

Ok after an afternoon of results, texts, calls, messages on other apps and emails, I have some thoughts on today’s Local Election results

1) Voter turnout is depressing. 32%ish on average across AoNZ is pathetic.
2) The Māori Wards referendum should never have happened - it was a racebaiting farce…
