Kia ora e te whānau, can we give this a massive push for the the rest of the year. His wife lost her life due to unnecessary health cuts & this is a chance to give her memory meaning www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin... petitions.parliament.nz/cc316e5b-e05...

Chilling with Sage in the tron today

"Think not of the books you've bought as a "to be read" pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Patriarchy is the actual menace to children that conservatives pretend queer people are.

#SecretSantaAoNZ I have loved this collective anarchistic joy spreading for years, and honestly every time it is just a shaft of gold shining out when all around is darkness! Major enjoyment this year, though. One for the Annals (two ens, mind!)

I am buzzing about #secretsantaaonz and the absolute absurdity that a bunch of total strangers who only know each other online and usually anonymously go and spend time thinking about that person and choosing gifts, wrapping and sending them for no other reason than to bring a bit of joy.

#SecretSantaAoNZ discharged to home - let the opening begin!

#SecretSantaAoNZ Thanks to all the admin for running Secret Santa this year!

Feeling a lot of gratitude for the fact we have a #SecretSantaAoNZ. Thank you so much @foxylustygrover.bsky.social and elves @ninjakitty.bsky.social, @eloquentsonia.bsky.social, @orthanc.nz, @larissacomments.bsky.social and @witchnwords.bsky.social! What a real treasure you all have made for us! 😍🫶🏼🥰

#SecretSantaAoNZ will be a delayed opening here as my trip to after hours has turned into an ED visit - pain semi controlled and awaiting next steps - looking forward to opening when I’m home!

People of the world, I do heartily suggest digging into #SecretSantaAoNZ for some feel good vibes today. If you need some wholesome good internet fun in your life. 😘 It's an Aotearoa New Zealand wide Secret Santa run both here and on Mastodon (will need to be bridged to see those). It's DELIGHTFUL.😍

Thank you to the elves who put this all together. Must have been a mammoth task . #secretsantaaonz

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

If you’re saying people are in dire straights because they can’t budget but you’re an employer paying less than the living wage or a landlord saying ‘the market’ determines rents as if you have no agency in the process, you are part of the problem and your charitable giving is performance. #nzpol

A local lunch outing today - halfway through my sixth course of antibiotics this year which play havoc with my insides - on the upside I should be finished before Christmas 🎄

#SecretSantaAoNZ it’s here and under the tree!

I'm genuinely proud of you for doing the hard things that nobody else sees. You're doing an amazing job. What is one small, hard thing you’ve managed to do recently? Let’s celebrate it.

Incoming #Postcrossing from Japan today

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

#SecretSantaAoNZ shopping in progress - have plan but first food to fuel myself.

Sure be good for the country’s economy if all the people giving free ads to a foreign flatpack megacorp were giving as much airtime and money to local businesses employing skilled local people.

I endorse these messages from staff at North Shore Hospital

My efforts this year after a hiatus last year #SecretSantaAoNZ

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok. Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work. Resistance is exhausting. Never forget that rest is resistance. Survival is resistance. You’re not alone. There’s more of us than there are of them.

Share a smile 😃 😀😀

I wouldn’t have said so myself - but I do play Pokémon Go, the NYT Crossword, Wordle, Sudoku, Connections, Strands and I enjoy board and card games too!

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s

Yes! #SecretSantaAoNZ #AoNZ #supportlocal

I like cats and dogs (have neither as #renting) I also like penguins 🐧 #SecretSantaAoNZ

I’ve posted a few links for Kiwi creatives this morning and mentioned #secretsantaaonz but, please, it’s the thought that counts. Consider second hand, home made and so not. Please don’t spend money you can’t afford. Thanks!

Lord, I beg you to take every woman's imposter syndrome and give it to the mediocre men being horrible to her instead.

Every year we want to be able to gift yr4 akonga a chrome book. Next year that is 18 for a financial contribution of less than $10k. Is there a company, business, whanau out there who would like to support the leaders of tomorrow? Please DM me Ngā mihi Traci Tumuaki

In other news, autism, ADHD, and many other neurodiverse ways of functioning are only problematic if you insist on everyone conforming and being able to be categorised into a system designed for capitalism. The only reason the Right cares is because it fits into their workforce eugenics ideals.

Re #SecretSantaAoNZ I wanted to re-iterate what other players have said more eloquently...it really is the thought that counts. I'm just excited to get something for me in the post that I didn't have to pay for! Whatever you have the capacity to send, whether home-made, thrifted, or re-gifted...

I'm in

I love stationery, #postcrossing, house plants, reading (200+ books thus far for 2025) #SecretSantaAoNZ

Views from the backyard

I'm genuinely emotional about some of the schools who are coming out swinging for Te Tiriti. One from my home area who I was convinced would be on Team Racism for sure just put their statement out. I love it so much

Can we have more pink grasshoppers and fewer yellow hornets please.

For #SecretSantaAoNZ I would like to say that crafted, second-hand etc is wonderful. If you are struggling, a copy of your favourite book, a poem that moved your soul, or an album that changed your life, I'd love to know the things that mean the most to you. Remember it is the thought not the $$

I collect fridge magnets, postcards and keyrings - books and plants I just hoard :)

This poor mama is facing unimaginable loss. Let’s wrap her in some love and support. Donate at givealittle.co.nz/cause/a-moth...

It shouldn't be "a few bad apples", it should be "a few bad eggs". The police establishment is trying to blame individuals, rather than police culture as a whole. But as we know, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole barrel. They mean eggs. #pedant #NZPol
