I have a question about the Salvation Army (SA) and LGBTQIA+ communities in NZ. Yrs ago I stopped donating to the SA op shops, due to the many stories of how the SA interacted negatively with LGBTQIA+ communities and people.
Have they changed? Is it worth reviewing their position on my blacklist?

Present Me is impressed and a little annoyed with past Me.
With the warmer weather I decided to wear shorts the other day, but could I find ANY shorts? Not anywhere. Eventually today I found them in a vacuum storage bag in the spare wardrobe.
Yay for organisation, boo for completely forgetting.

Can anybody tell me what you can this style of painting?
I really love the way the paint looks when it's applied like this, but this particular artist is in Canada so I'd like to look for some local artists that use this technique.

Once again, my child's school has had to message parents to 'ask' them, not to park in the private parking lot of a nearby block of units for school pick up. 🤦♀️

When I visit schools I get hugs and kisses and applause, and one time a little girl crocheted me an octopus.

Two of them parked in the EV park next to me, despite not being in EVs and another (no kids in the car) parked in a parents spot. 🤬
