Y’ALL. PATHA RELEASED THE NEW GENDER AFFIRMING CARE GUIDELINES. THE ONES THE GOVT SUPPRESSED GET IN IT patha.nz/resources-an...

Happy Friday people. This is apparently low gluten beer. Let's see what happens!

Ok, on the flip of gigs you've seen? Who are up to five bands you have not yet seen, but want to see before you die? Without thinking too hard, mine are: -Faith No More -The Cure

Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen: A random selection -Electric Six -Killing Joke -PJ Harvey -Einstürzende Neubauten -Pop Will Eat Itself

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Dumb thing for the day- was peer pressured into having a bite of lovely shortbread by a very charming old lady. It was a tiny bite, but I could immediately feel it in my throat, and had a headache in five minutes. Learnings!

I know I should be careful what I wish for, but a crisp southerly would be nice right now.

I made a gin, rooibus and lemon juice cocktail, with a mint leaf. I am now rather relaxed on the couch...

Post your warning label

Looks like I'm probably screwed

Australian authorities have confirmed the highly contagious H5 bird flu has reached Heard Island, about 4000km south-west of Perth and 1700km north of #Antarctica. High mortality rates in elephant seals have been observed in October, but no impacts on penguins and seabirds via @9news.bsky.social

It is warm and still. I have all the windows open and I'm glad I have a mosquito net on my bed

Nom

I am always amazed by what a stunning beach Lyall Bay has. The water is chilly but lovely. The dog watching is superb.

Sunday brekkie

Me and Pineapple

Gluten free fish and chips!

My lazy morning has meant I've had time to ponder stuff (dangerous). I've been thinking about young trans people, the ability to look into the future & see one's self, & hope.

Woke up with this in my head youtu.be/iTKJ_itifQg

Very lazy morning so far. I might have to find something to eat

a short video about Anahera, the matriarch of Capital kiwi. share.google/mstcxbO2oqgq...

Can/would medical professionals ignore the government's ban and provide care, including appropriate medication, to our transgender rangatahi?

Predator Free Wellington hui. There's some astounding knowledge, experience and passion in this room. It feels doable to get the entire Wellington region to a point where a possum or a rat is news.

Either an elephant or a pilot whale (live), or a southern right whale (dead).

Got the dumb ovar going. Just don't trust the bastard.

Sometimes the best way to end the day is to spend ages boogying around the kitchen making tea (chilli).

I try to not have heroes, but Dame Sue Bagshaw is one of mine, from when I met her in my early 20s. She was very helpful with professional advice regarding my readiness to transition.

Phew, that was a day. Saved the world but :)

It's that time again! Time to vote for your favourite NZ plant www.nzpcn.org.nz/flora/favour...

Sorry, I'm really tired. This is as bad as I'm reading it, eh?

Wellington feels so chill after Auckland

Has anyone got experience with using a car share company in NZ? Like Cityhop? I see there is one car for Kāpiti.

Shower thought (actually, airport thought) triggered by @objectivereality.bsky.social 's post. Are there furries with ape fursonas?

Drive safe everyone in Auckland

Too early at the airport. Lots of people and a measles case announced. Luckily I have mask and hand sanitizer, and there is outside space I can hang out in

Suicidal Tendencies, absolutely going off

Powerstation. Waiting for Suicidal Tendencies. Black Flag and Fear playing. Wish you were here!

I love catching trains- you get to see bits of a city you don't from the road.

Open to suggestions for dinner in central city Auckland (near Krd- Queen St) on a Monday night. With GF options.

Installed in my very slightly bigger than a pod, but lush, little hotel room for the next couple of nights. First, a nap...

Got the spot :)

Hello Auckland. Looking pretty!

CW: dumb car stuff. I just went to start my car and it was dead as a doornail. I chucked the battery on the charger, which reckoned it was charged? Put it back in, checked all the connections, checked fuses, nothing :/ car still dead.

An excellent weekend not doing much, with a bit of fun thrown in for good measure.

This made my eyes sweaty in a good way. Recommended reading.

Oh hello

It's getting to be sarong season

Happy Friday!! youtu.be/nxcJW6bs5os Getting a wee bit excited for these guys next week.

It's the barrel that's rotten.
