@pepperraccoon.com what’s the best way to wash these beauties? Are they hand wash only, or can I chuck them in the cold wash with the rest of the goth getup.

I just found out that Ayesha Verrall (Labour), the second minister for Covid response, held a Health portfolio has made $2 more than me for Sweat with Pride.

I can’t abide that. Y’all share this around and donate if you’re able.

Ōtepotī: want to learn more about what all the fuss is about, why so many people are protesting about what’s happening in Palestine? Want to get some money to a good cause?

Check out this showing of the new doco Where Olive Trees Weep.

If you live in Ōtepotī and haven’t been out to the Rongo memorial (mentioned in the spinoff article) I highly recommend it.

Image description: a political cartoon shows two feet sticking out from under a white sheet with a tag on the toe, presumably at a mortuary. The heading reads “cost-cutting ultimately means someone else’s pays”. The toe tag reads “Te Whatu Ora Health NZ, $105M ‘savings’ directive”

Mōrena Kirikiriroa! Today I will be at the University of Waikato to hear from our communities about trans heart health. That’s the most encompassing definition of trans and the most encompassing definition of heart health.
April 18, 2024 at 7:18 PM
Heads up, Nelson, I’ll be in you later this week! I’ll be at the Nelson Pride Speak Out! events, & running a community engagement hui for folks* to discuss the trans heart health project.

*transgender, Takatāpui, MVPFAFF+, genderqueer, agender, nonbinary, etc

I’m mostly up to my eyeballs in work, and I’m recovering from a throat infection, which means I couldn’t help marshal the climate strike rally today 😭

Sending everyone who is able to go a solidarity sunflower (it’s the only one I planted that came up, and it bloomed finally)

The most recent example of a graphic of text people love to inaccessible share. These are all words. There is no reason to share a flat image when it’s all just text. That’s like sharing a pdf that’s just an image. What monster does that.
