From back in December:
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2023/12/four-unions-demand-finance-minister-nicola-willis-resign-over-scrapping-of-new-ferry-terminal-funding.html
Newshub asked the Finance Minister if she'll resign.
"No… This was a decision made by Cabinet, and it was the right decision for New Zealand," she replied.

Blessed #Solstice, everyone.
Sun rose here in #Ōtautahi at 8am and is setting at 5pm.
Shutting the blinds and sleeping all day is tempting, but alas, things need done.

I refilled our cage feeders with Topflite energy cakes last week, and the birds have rediscovered them.
This one in the back yard is usually mobbed by house sparrows, whereas its twin in the front yard outside Flip's bedroom window usually has tauhou.
They love the stuff, it's so rich. Like the bird equivalent of a big bowl of chowder. 🐦

OK, Woolfeast is this weekend here in #Ōtautahi #Christchurch.
I'd like to go, but I need intel so I don't give money to cookers, no matter how nice their yarn is.
I've been told Wild Earth Yarns have antivax/anti-lockdown ties, but whom else?

Wave of tiredness overtook me yesterday afternoon. RAT was negative.
Today mostly marked by swinging between dissociation and weeping while feeling like I'm failing on every front, as a mother, a partner, a friend, and even just a self-indulgent goblin.
Love that journey for me.

Oh no, someone has been stealing chickens from Smith Street Community Farm. Hate this kind of petty theft, it's robbing the whole community. Those chooks eat veggie scraps and give us all eggs.

Tautoko if you're going to a #ToitūTeTiriti activation on Thursday, but please remember: we're in a new #COVID peak AND it's flu season, and even though outdoor gatherings are lower risk, crowds + shouting are high risk.
Please wear well-fitting masks to stop the spread of illness, and save your health so you can hīkoi for years to come.

Gotta say, folks, I'm not liking the surge in COVID reported by wastewater numbers.
Especially with my husband flying up to Wellington on a business trip to Catalyst for the first time in ages. 😬
We have masks and Flo Travel spray and probiotic lozenges, but we don't have robust public health measures or clean air infrastructure, not even in hospitals.
No sir, I don't like it.

I was feeling down and requested cute cat photos over on Bluesky, had a decent showing.
Any cute fuzzballs to share here, #Catstodon?
Black cats and tuxies are my faves, but any paw in a storm. 🐾
Going to bed soon, so will save my faves and cat ratings til then

#NZTwits of Wellington, please support Zephyr Cafe, who closed in solidarity with the trans community on Saturday during the TERF conference, who are now getting abused on X and review-bombed by said TERFs.

Like, mate, if you've known me IRL for a while, you know I am at my core a soft-hearted goofball who just wants to hang out and do hair and makeup and watch movies and eat snacks, and avoid conflict and staring into the void as much as possible.
But every passing year, the urge to break shit and scream gets louder because the worst kind of people are emboldened, and they are actively ruining the world and its future.

2024-05-06 00:42:25

Have I mentioned lately that we all deserve better?
We're living through an ongoing pandemic, with a panzootic threatening to spill over, fascism on the rise everywhere, well-documented genocides, and everything generally being shittier AND more expensive.
Aren't y'all angry?

What I'd really love for Mother's Day is actual material support for mothers who need it, instead of empty platitudes, cutting funding, and in some countries, ongoing genocide. 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 🇨🇬

+ assuming that the client doesn't have one of their own set up.
There are other layers one can add to the "Swiss cheese approach" (remember that?) to reducing infection risk, like using nasal sprays with iota carrageenan and CPC mouthwash, but testing, masking, #CleanTheAir, and staying up to date on boosters are the primary ones to remember.

2024-04-23 22:35:11

A brief run-down of my standard practice for #COVIDcautious hairdresser housecalls etc.
The client and I both take RATs the morning of the appointment. I wear a mask, I recommend the client does too (although can be tricky with sideshaves et al), and ideally we work in a room where there's windows that open for ventilation.
On nice days I've cut hair on people's decks, wind permitting. 😂
I also have my CO2 monitor, and I am considering saving up for another #HEPA filter that I can bring +

I seem to recall when I ordered my teapot (aaages ago, from the UK while I was in the US) that instructions said never to pour straight boiling water in without gradually warming it up first or the glaze (or the very ceramic itself) would crack.
Am I being too precious, or is that standard advice? #Tea was my #SpecialInterest at the time, but I was also less connected.
