We have spent about 800 dollars on vet appointments for both our cats - mittens and Annie. Annie is likely going to need ongoing care - if you can help me out as a small Christmas present please do so here ko-fi.com/S6S67O95T

I had a really shitty and traumatic experience at the dentist today. I went in for a filling and thought it would be just like any other filling experience. The small drill was fine, but when she started using the noisy, vibrating one, my nervous system and body freaked out /1

Yes of course I managed to knock my broken toe again, and yes it hurt. Fingers crossed I didn't do it any further damage 😬

PSA - dual NZ/UK citizen? NZers (and others) with dual UK NZ citizenship will need to travel to the UK with a British passport (or certificate of entitlement) after 24 Feb. You can no longer get an ETA on an NZ passport - you’ll need to get/renew a British passport. Check here … #NZ

Although I have my #SecretSantaAoNZ present sitting here, I'm going to wait until daylight so I can enjoy opening it. Looking forward to seeing everyone's gifts tomorrow 😊 🎄

Fk these ableist pieces of garbage. Another example of "let's make disabled lives harder financially".

This! ⬇️⬇️ Every diagnosis I've had, someone I know has said "You're doing it for attention". MF'er, if I wanted attention, it sure as hell wouldn't be for something that restricts my life.

I can't believe no one wants a free gift for their teenage daughter/niece or yourself...even if I've sent you a gift before, I'm happy to send another. Come on people 😁

#AoNZ I have a Mecca Soap & Glory limited edition berry Christmas pack suitable for a 13/14 yr old girl/female identifying. If you need a gift for your daughter/niece & can't afford one, I'm happy to post it to you. It's in a Mecca Xmas box. Urban post only or pick up in #Pōneke. Please DM me 🙂

$256 million to clean up one mine. Like the oil industry, this is something miners should be paying to clean up themselves, with trailing liability to ensure they can't dump the bill on us www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Today I finally get my genetic test results from the Movement Disorders Team at Wellington Hospital. It's only been 364 days since I had them done 😬 Prior to this government taking office, my appointments were 6 months apart, so a giant middle finger goes to the COC for screwing the system.

#NZ 🦠 Measles Some new locations are now on the Te Whatu Ora / Health NZ website, e.g. Close contact: Dunedin Public Hospital, Emergency Department Waiting Room and Triage, 2/12/25 1:00PM to 2:30PM info.health.nz/health-topic...

I don't enjoy Christmas in general, but this year I've pulled finger and bought myself a 3ft white sparkly tree on a stand. Today I got some decorations to add to it, and once it's set up, I'll put my Secret Santa gift under it 🎄❤️💚
