Hi hello, everyone who's bought from @pepperraccoon.com tell Rosemary how baller the shirt designs are pepperraccoon.com

Ok, went with the fam to our nearest eatery, had a beer with lunch, am now tipsy and walking to catch a bus to Rangiora to see folks. It's gonna be a while. AMA.

More photos from the Monte Vista crane festival. Cranes are just big goofy guys

A great way to conserve fuel at a society wide level would be making buses free Busing in Christchurch is $6 a day and even at $3 a litre, petrol will allow you to travel 20km or more depending on fuel efficiency, so if you own a car it's still the economical option for most people

I'm emotional over this. I want to go back for a weekend just to visit. 💜

To understand Wellington you have to understand how deeply and profoundly the whole city fucking loves the central library Reopening today after a near-decade of earthquake repair/strengthening

Sorry, it's Pip and Pablo's hospital now 🥰 www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

An autistic woman who has paused all her life activities in order to lie in bed, catatonic, has announced that this is simply a break in production.

Solve et Coagula, my friends. Happy Friday the 13th! Remember where true evil lies. It isn’t where the authoritarians want us to believe.

Honestly, I'm afraid for my kid at this point. Under this govt, in the current social environment, with what few supports we've got, it just seems the floor is gradually tilting under us, and he's going to slide out of reach and into a "boot camp", where god knows what will happen him. 😭

No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers. We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines

Let cyclists take over the streets! As they did for a long time in Christchurch – it was that way until at least the 1950s - www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/ne...

Come on guys, he’s one of us

Asher's a comrade. Get this man in the House!

EVs are all powered by 5G!!!

The fueldemic doesn't affect kids, only the fuel-vulnerable need to worry about it

I would like 2 (two) inquiries into this in five years time please. Perhaps exploring why these cookers rolled back energy independence projects like clean car discounts.

I had a look at Brian Tamaki's Facebook page and sure enough people are making the conection with the pandemic and tying this into existing conspiracy theories about 15 minutes cities, UN Agenda 2030, the World Economic Forum, and so on. It's all become very predictable

But they complained that a traffic-light system for covid was too hard to understand.

Aotearoa New Zealand mentioned.

National is panicking because they're letting down their true demo

🚨 If anyone has contacts at Stuff to get this headline updated urgently please do so. Expert advice is that getting Covid repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage. Each infection raises your risk of long Covid and serious complications. This is unacceptable.

I hate to become one of those parents diagnosing their kids via the Internet, but... I can't help noticing that my kid's increased anxiety, reactivity, and yes, occasional OCD tendencies all followed in the months after our first (and only) Covid infection.

OH MY GOD THEY'RE DOING PANDEMIC LEVELS FOR FUEL www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Dammit, I did it again! Didn't update my address, and now the kid's expensive new drink bottle is awaiting collection for pickup in Wellington, the NZ post site is refusing to recognise the tracking number, and the card to collect has probably blown off our old rentals door and into the weeds.

there was a guy today in newtown sitting on the footpath swearing his head off. i recognise him. he's been homeless a long time. he used to have a completely different, almost cheerful, demeanour. the system pushes people to breaking point so they can criminalise them further.

Annnnd that's our longtime support carer resigning because they feel unequipped to deal with our PDA autistic kid. 😔

youtu.be/obX-HGs-PS8?... Anyone else trying to watch the livestream of The Importance Of Being Earnest with Ncuti Gatwa and having video lag but sound unaffected? Is this a uniquely New Zealand Internet problem?

The bar is through the centre of the Earth, tbh.

Imagine betting so much public money on imported fossil liquids and farts that we loop back to 1970s state industrial interventionism. Another win for the "free market" coalition govt #nzpol

Real talk: Progressives have completely failed to adequately address the significant impacts of Long COVID, and this has left an opening for the far right to exploit vulnerable patients and deceitfully blame vaccines for all chronic illnesses.

Kia ora to our friends at Wellington City Libraries - we are very excited for you (and for all your lovely customers) that Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui is opening tomorrow. We here in Ōtautahi Christchurch know what a joy it will be! www.wcl.govt.nz/news/our-muc... ^DR

ladies how do you stop yourselves from overloading your handbags. mine's a modest size but there's enough room in here for supplies for an impromptu overnight and half a pharmacy

Hey look, @bootstheory.bsky.social and @dimsie.bsky.social - I think we can conclusively say where Bryce and Danyl are getting their dog shit ideas from.

GP appt in 30 min. Making list of issues. God, where to start.

#ADHD #AuDHD #OCD Miss 12 is finally ready to try medication. I'm not looking for medical advice, just personal experience. If you have both ADHD or AuDHD and OCD, did treating the ADHD bring relief from the racing intrusive OCD thoughts? And did you find stimulants or nonstimulants more helpful?

Gnosticism is also where we find the answer to conservative American Jesus vs Biblical Jesus. Extremist American Jesus adherents absolutely view Biblical Jesus (“woke Jesus”) as the demiurge (inferior deity). Which is why all the “Jesus didn’t actually say that” won’t solve the hate in their hearts

It's all very simple, the government *WANT high unemployment *DO NOT WANT people on the benefit *WANT people out of public housing *DO NOT WANT homeless people *WANT low wages *DO NOT WANT people moving to Australia. It's so straightforward, dunno why anyone has trouble complying

Becky and Lloyd Didcot, 39 and 41, feel that an autism diagnosis carries too much stigma, so they prefer to talk about daughter Avery, 10, as if she’s batshit crazy instead.

Please help me out #Autistic friends, is there really no US trainspotting app for android???

Also: I just uncovered a small network of recently-created accounts that are LLMs replying to people talking about health topics and added them to my Reply/Contact Spammers list as well as reported them, but posting so folks know to be aware since they were mostly recently created

Alright! Rāwiri is now 3rd highest fundraiser and is $50 away from top fundraiser. All for a good cause, swings for their kura!

My new dating profile; who wants me

NZ First leader Winston Peters calls for another inquiry into Covid-19, this one to examine vaccine injuries. My Stuff #cartoon today #NZpol #Covid #PublicHealth

"The best way the IACC can help my adult son, his peers, and our community’s families is to endorse research in sufficient and appropriate services, which are crucial in determining autistic quality of life. Our autistic loved ones and families are here now. We need more supports now." #autism #IACC

So proud to be the @greens.org.nz candidate for the new electorate of Kapiti, stretching from Whitby and Paremata in the south through to Ōtaki in the north. Really excited to help elect a new Government this year with not only a compassionate Green heart, but also a strong Green spine.

Incidentally, I have decided that I can be generally against carceral punitive logic when it comes to individual humans and wildly in favor of it when it comes to institutions and not only is that not an inherent conflict of principle, it’s probably way more practical
