My friend Nancy recused an awesome stray cat, but it needed some significant vet care and the bills are piling up. If you could throw even a little cash Nancy's way, you'd be helping both her and the kitty a lot. Please repost this. Thanks.

National has spent more on me to send this leaflet telling me I should be grateful, than they have in the last year on things that actually benefit my family, because I am not a landlord. Instead they give my taxes to industries actively trying to kill me, like tobacco and fossil fuels.

THIS. Friendly reminder that the best vaccine against this toxic waste lie is to actively listen to trans people who will go into granular detail about the flaming hoops they have to jump through for every morsel of gender-affirming healthcare at every stage of their lives. It's not that hard.
Bullshit alert: some NZ politicians (dishonestly) claiming that the puberty blocker ban is about "saving" kids from "unnecessary" medical interventions and "letting them make up their own minds"
No, that's *what puberty blockers* do. It gives those kids time to work out their own identity.
