I told my dad his anti-vax stance & support of the protest endangers me, my partner and unborn baby (risk of severe illness & we're public servants near Parliament), and provided evidence of Nazis & violent threats. He replied if I don't want a relationship with him "so be it" 💔

Also in New Zealand it's not possible to get up and go unless you first slap your thighs and say "Right!"
In New Zealand you have to say "just these thanks" as you place your items on the counter otherwise they will not serve you and assume you are requiring many more items

New Zealand is moving to alert level 3 country-wide. This will last for 48 hours to get everything ready to move up to alert level 4. All schools & non-essential businesses will close. We are preparing to go into self-isolation. Staying at home is the best thing we can all do 💜

and all who support the removal of free school lunches to read this from Finland about their 76yo universal programme that all Finns agree is essential, and has actually had TIME over consecutive govts to prove its worth!
NZ is not the only country in the world that gives out some form of free lunches for kids. Saying there is no evidence that they work is not true. I taught in Korea for years and saw how great they were for ensuring kids were fed, camaraderie & teaching good nutrition habits.

David Seymour is "all over the glucose" and the importance for him to be well fed to do his own job successfully and avoid being a "hangry" guy, but somehow cannot conceive of the same for hungry children trying to learn at school. Libertarians are always just about themselves 🙄
David Seymour says there is no evidence that the lunch in school programme works? Has he ever tried to work when he was starving? Does he really need more evidence?

Okay 😔 His fever's gone up past 40 & he's just curled into a ball. We're going to give him more antibiotics through iv, keep up fluids, & wait for morning. Unlikely he'll pull through, but the vet thinks he can set it up so that I can hold him at a distance while they do it 💔

Omg woooow she just called me and said just after I left a woman came in with an unclipped ten trip ticket she'd found! So she's put it aside for me to collect! Gosh some things really help to restore your faith in the goodness of people eh ❤️
So I got a receipt but still no luck getting a new ticket or refund at the Wellington station because they only do that for lost monthly passes not ten trips which don't expire 😔 Not all was lost though bc the lady took pity on me and gave me some of her fresh baked banana cake

I cycled every day in Finland, often considerable distances and right through the snowy dark winter. We all did because Oulu is a web of wide, safe bike/pedestrian paths that almost never meet car roads. I've never once cycled on city streets in NZ, before or after Finland, nope
Just a year ago I was someone who resented cyclists in London. I never imagined that I could ever be one of them.
Now, city cycling is one of the best parts of my life.
Here’s what helped me change my mind:

Vet says he's in really bad shape. Will put on IV drip for 24 hours to rehydrate him, test for FIV (cat aids) & if that comes back neg then they'll test for kidney disease. They're sedating him bc he's fighting the vet with the little strength he has 😭💔😥 tyvm for your thoughts
😭 The baby still isn't eating except when I'm force feeding which isn't very successful. I thought he was a bit brighter the last couple of days, but he's very weak and thin and this morning his little skinny back legs have been buckling under him. Back to the vet we go 😭🤞
