anyone know why prescription medications that are not fully subsidised can be different prices at different pharmacies? I understand Chemist warehouse being cheaper (they like to undercut everyone to build client base) but how can 3 places within 5 minutes car drive charge a different amount?

wait great idea. real haters only: what was everyone’s LEAST favorite book you read for school. mine was fuck ass great expectations. F YOU PIP I HATE YOU

The moment Winston became Deputy PM first everyone except Luxon knew he'd do this. If Winston was Deputy PM now he couldn't be doing half of this. He's a much slicker political operator than anyone else. I do not like what he does or stands for but Labour better be paying attention.

First they came for the gangs, and I didn't speak out-because I wasn't in a gang. Then they came for kids who were trans. Then the phones in schools. Then the homeless. Then the low wage women. Then the teens on welfare. And the free prescriptions. And the Treaty of Waitangi. And the ferries. #nzpol

Try running up 2 flight of stairs & you realise it’s quite the distance.

My favourite thing about twitter was the bot I ran that deleted even posted after 2 weeks. Because I am not deep. I need to find something that does that for here and for threads ( where I shitpost about bravo )

SPCA appointment booked for Wednesday - Cross fingers i meet my new cat companion.

Is it weird that we didn’t get an alert on the phone about the state of emergency? I would have assumed civil defence sent on out to phones in wellington.

Incredibly thankful our complex decided to fix and then upgrade all our drains and storm water drains over summer.

i hated those protests at parliament over vaccination mandates. But i feel like we all need to block the roads of our main city till the government does something. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Watching David Byrne vs Justin Beiber tells me everything i need to know about you

I’m just a girl waiting for David Byrne to come onstage at Coachella

Frozen peas, beans and frozen corn are a staple in our house so i hate everyone who stopped buying them. They were the cheapest and easiest way to get 2 different colour vegges on our plates every night.

if anyone is wondering why i'm so invested in the #SummerHouse Drama and bravo in general. My stupid little reality shows are what mostly allow me to regulate living in the world according to trump , luxon, Seymour & peters.

Congress is currently on holiday or whatever not being in Washington is called. So nobody is even around to invoke the 25th amendment. It wouldn’t matter if the Democrats were in charge. Their leaders won’t call the Pm of Israel a war criminal

if anyone in NZ knows how to watch The Tour of Flanders legally, please let me know. Just once i'd love to not pay a vpn company and get patchy coverage & instead directly pay the company that purchased broadcast rites in Aotearoa. #cycling #couchpeleton staylivecycling is goneburger

It's Easter Sunday! The day that rabbits brought eggs to the newly resurrected Jesus to make sure he had enough protein in his diet after 'all that other business'.

If you see this, post a picture from whatever device you’re using with no explanation

Finally found out what’s going on at middlemore . RATS . Actual rats in the er vt.tiktok.com/ZSH6M9UQh/

Can anyone explain why Wellington is going ahead with kandallah pool upgrades? Other than rich white people don’t want to leave their suburb.

Does anyone know what’s going on on at middlemore hospital. ?

So only at level 4 will the nz government take measures to distribute fuel fairly. Until the the rich can eat all they want

One good thing about the harry potter tv show trailer is culling people who think that jk was hard done by .

i am getting account sign in codes for slack about 4-8 times an hour. Does anyone know how to stop this? i haven't used slack in a decade

how to shut up zero rates idiots in wellington nz - remind them if they voted 3 waters this wouldn't be happening

South Korea ( provides 48% of nz’s oil) is introducing strategies to reduce oil use . I think we should panic because our government pissed them off over ferries

return from holiday to an evening of receiving continuous verification codes I didn’t request. averaging about 100 every hour - FML from about 40 different websites :(

This system is used to transfer heart and lung transplant patients between Auckland hospitals for treatment, as there isn't one location that can provide all care, and ambulances can't handle the volume. The patients get Supported Living Payment, 'not important enough' for fuel subsidy.

Just a reminder the government total mobility subsidy of 75% on taxis for people who can’t drive or use public transport (disabled, elderly etc) is dropping to 50% in July. Most of these folk will not get that $50 weeky travel bonus

Today in hawkes bay $2.07 at 11am )2.25 at 3pm . Capitalism is THE WORST.

If it’s a private family thing why a press conference at parliament before checking on your kids? He could speak anywhere & refused to answer questions or dropped a press release asking for privacy. Parliament & answering questions was a choice, not checking in on his kids was a choice .

i got sweet Baby Grogu at The Oscars - no need to keep watching, I worry about one battle winning over sinners

NZ's been doing so well in cricket, it felt like we were due for a bad match. It's what makes us strong and dedicated as Black Caps Supporters #Cricket

RAT reminder. If you’re in Aotearoa NZ you can get bulk covid tests from Sober Check. They have 2 flavours straight covid or covid/rsv/flu a&b. it ends up about 40% cheaper than buying single tests #covid

Am seriously considering stopping KiwiSaver contributions & start storing cash under my mattress.

Flights from Napier moved but to later in the day and nothing scary like 6am. I think we lucked out flying on Tuesday

What’s the chance the supermarkets and land transport users group are going to ask for government subsidies

Fun fact, look up your flights on airnz & see if they still exist. mine do not :( . first world problems = mum not going becase mum can do alert at 7am. she lived through WW2, the great depression, TB & Covid, so gets a pass. Can't drive, i can't get to upper hutt without crashing for 3 days

Anyone been notified by airnz yet? if we get shifted to 8am flights i doubt i can convince mum to go away. i know my worry is nothing but at 94 she’s already lived through a war and rationing. I just want her to visit with her brother and nieces & nephews for a week.

Hey @ponekeben.bsky.social Really good timing on your decision to break your campaign promises and gut Wellington's climate resiliency budget while locking in car-dependency for the next decade. It's not too late to restore it and keep building out the cycle and public transit networks...

Wellington please read this and not only contact your labour councillor, deputy mayor and mayor. But contact your green councillors and tell them you support them

if you are over 30 and can tolerate Covid boosters, please go out and get one, it's free. Some of us can't tolerate covid boosters & about 36% of the population isn't allowed covid vaccinations.

@earfull.bsky.social i saw this and thought of you - hand felted nudibranchs woolcreaturelab.com

The Three White Men of Labour would like to let businesses in Wellington know they're more important than anyone else. Except Khandallah who get a $11 million pool upgrade for a season unheated pool. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

By this time in the 2017 to 2020 term, the NZ Government and PM had faced, in sequence. 1. The deadliest terror attack on NZ not done by the Brits 2. A measles outbreak 3. A volcano going off and killing and maiming tourists 4. Hey this Corona virus thing might get serious?! Imagine Luxon.

Apparently everyone needs to choose whether we’re on the side of a geriatric religious nutter on the one side and a genocidal maniac and a rapist pedophile on the other.

Should i be going out an filling ip with petrol today? Or does it really not matter because we’re totally fucked

everyone at a crab restaurant in Washington knew about the bombing hrs before it happened because some guys were loudly gossiping. You can not make this shit up. I’m no fan of TMZ BUT WTF!

Since I was interest to look at the covid wastewater data this week, for 2 degrees of separation from cases reasons, I am sharing some graphs. Dunedin has indeed started a rise (I expect it to go a lot higher and last 8-10 weeks, based on Wellington and Auckland). Also Wellington looks post-peak

I always said I really wanted the Veep bts of this.
