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.

Wellington: pumping raw sewage near our swimming beaches. Also wellington: our hospitals are overloaded and on the brink of collapse Wellington's mayor: I will do a public swim at the beach and encourage everyone else to.

Andrew Little Swimming on the South coast of Wellington makes me wonder how Jacinda Ardern managed to lead NZ as successfully as she did during the initial waves of Covid. He's caved to squeaky wheels. I don't trust Wellington Water when nobody knows the cause or long term effects.

Weird it's only White people swimming.

FYI Wellington NZ - Covid is doing the rounds at fringe (+ probably festival ) shows. So wear a facemask - while venues have masks unless they are N95, P2, KN95 (maybe there's something new i don't know about) a mask will not protect you. Remember no show is worth risking your long term health.

As someone with a chronic health condition (ME/CFS) I feel unseen by labour’s ‘Jobs, Health, Homes. ‘ There’s no cure for what I have. as my wonderful Mum (94) ages I do more daily caregiving as neither of us can access support because we live together.

everyone posting about Year of the firehorse - did you do this last year for year of the wood snake? Or maybe you got sucked into mass marketing and Chinese Exceptionalism in 2026?

I today understood why people wrote letters complaining about attitudes of high schoolers at local cafes during lunch. I still wouldn’t write a letter but these kids are so rude to the staff and bring in food from the supermarket while 1 kid orders a drink

Found a live stream of the WTF Wellington Water Meeting. Except i can't hear a damn thing and honestly no wonder this happened - of 10 people on stage 8 are men and 8 are white.

Wellington Water annual reports - leggett is not screaming about inadequate resources or demanding more, more, more...

@andrewlittlenz.bsky.social @julieannegenter.greens.org.nz Could someone advise on the safety of eating home-grown fruit and vegetables? Last winter salt spray damaged plants over 3km inland, so I’m worried about what may be depositing on home gardens. Also worried about the air we're breathing

Rember when that Mayor you all ran out of Wellington wanted Nick Leggett to resign www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Happiness is tomato abundance gifted by a friend . Today’s tomatoes are winters soup

ooo that Wellington southerly is making it's smell known

Wellington NZ Friends - metservice might be underestimating tomorrow's storm www.facebook.com/share/p/1Br2... Daniel built the upper hutt weather station & focuses on Wellington weather. He's saying it could be as bad as 2013. I'm moving my outdoor pots and checking nothing loose is around my house

Dear Wellington i risked a swim at Hataitai Beach the water was warm and crystal clear. If i die of consumption in 24hrs you know it's not safe

This is the most Awesome thing ever. gradient.horse

Just found my Halloween costume
