This is actually true, guerrilla gardening is a whole thing in NZ if you want to have your own veggies and not pay extortionate supermarket prices.
Did you know it’s illegal to have a garden in New Zealand?

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom.
If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
