#Oct23strike #megastrike Just adding my voice in support of all those on strike today. We can have a functioning health system, and pay our public service workers decent wages - our govt is choosing not too. I support us making different choices and backing our people and communities.

The world does owe future generations a living. Anyone who believes otherwise should never be put in a position of power ever again.

Use “I” statements please Winston. The tens of thousands of NZers who marched, the thousands and thousands more who see this genocide for what it is and who know recognising Palestine is an important symbol of solidarity, your decision does not represent us.

So cold this morning, and car so damp - I had to scrape ice off the inside of the windshield!! Brrrrrrrr

Spent most of the day installing a pergola and turning it into a catio - and now all the muscles I haven't used in months are complaining! Catio is super cute though and the kitties are happy 🐈‍⬛

This one's very important for EVERYONE - the RSB opens us up to an American hellscape with many unintended consequences. It's part of the Coalition agreement, and they passed the first stage through urgency.

But this Select Committee process is arguably MORE important than the TPB. SUBMIT.

Submissions against the Regulatory Standards Bill are now OPEN!

28 Days left.

A possibly interesting fact about me - that might also help my Secret Santa - I have no sense of smell! Never have as far as I can tell :) So things like scented candles or perfumed things don't really do much for me! Can't smell yummy things - but also can't smell yuck things! #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

My favorite colour schemes are in the images below - pastel rainbows, and muted, dusty pinks and purples! Would love to decorate my house in the pastel rainbows like this! #mwsecretsantaaonz

Part of a bathroom that has a brick column in the corner painted in pastel rainbows, there is also a door frame, large mirror, vanity, and vanity mirror painted in the same tones with a pink rug on the floor.

A colour palette, for muted, dusty pinks, purples and greens, illustrated by a picture of fallen leaves in those tones.
