Small win of the day: brand I follow started rolling out AI generated ads - left a comment saying "hey, love your product love your ethos, but I'd prefer my money going towards paying real illustrators, not feeding the art-theft-carbon-emissions machine"

The ads disappeared!

You know international day of disabilities is coming up cause I got asked if I'd thought about an anti-inflammation diet

"no, I think medical science will cure my myocarditis, not eating more turmeric"

German twisted cast on is so much fun. Long tail? Boring, vanilla, always estimate wrong. German twisted? Delightful, looks good, never dull.

Our neighbours - a single mum and her young daughter, who hadn't been moved in all that long - delivering us a small basket of Easter eggs which had been hand decorated and had a little card in it.

Such a small gesture but felt like a lot in the chaos of the early days of the lockdown.
What's a charming memory you have from the worst period of the pandemic?

Someone in my fb comment section today literally said it'd be very expensive to get a train to run to Rotorua...

Ah McCain, he's done it again
Thread time.

These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?

This is the plan that the coalition government says is "not about centralising power". Jesus wept. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Ah yes, the real problem with local government: that people don't know the difference between city councils and regional councils.

That'll solve the infrastructure deficit, the unfunded mandate, the poor behaviour, and the scapegoating from central government. Well done, boys!

And I can't emphasise enough how much the harassment doesn't stop when you leave.

I lost the election and people were still calling me a cunt.

On here, someone in my replies said I didn't care about Maaori wards, that I didn't get to be upset about the election and I wasn't disabled (!)
The abuse Julie Fairey copped after being HIT BY A CAR is exactly what happens when we treat online harm as background noise. Women in politics bear the brunt, especially women of colour. Until NZ actually regulates platforms properly, this will keep happening #nzpol

It's actually ridiculous that we don't have the same rules for cats as we so for dogs (micro-chipping and neutering). I heard that Celia Wade-Brown was working on the legislation for it though.
If we could throw in some mandatory registration and neutering for house cats that would be primo.

I was taking about this at our branch meeting on Monday, but all of this *gestures* is to wear us down. It's horrific, and inhumane, and the goal is so make us give up.

We have to look after ourselves and we have to look after each other more than ever.

If I learnt one thing working in healthcare, it's that non clinical people should not tutu with clinical decisions.

Politicians are included in that category.
