This reminds me of Cardinal John Henry Newman's book Definition of a Gentleman. I often cite Newman's book because it's so instructive. The term gentleman is so overwrought and frequently abused, but to the degree it means anything at all, I think Newman captures it here:

Incidentally, sales from this month have funded the purchase of 2 possum traps for our bush.

That protects our ngahere and the manu who live there, including kiwi.

I'm grateful your cats like the catnip that grows here too.

Holiday gatherings can be really hard for autistic kids and adults.

And the reasons why aren’t always obvious.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

If you, like me, struggle with DPNs I can HIGHLY recommend these. They make teeny circumference in the round knitting easy peasy.

Fuck yeah!
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

The behaviour of the Coalition Govt over the last two weeks SHOULD provide more than enough ammunition for Labour to hound them into oblivion, but lets just wait for Chippie to take a shot at a Greens mp instead

Who knew about this? The areas marked "Kahore I Hokona" (=never sold) are land for which there are no purchase agreements by colonial companies. The land was simply taken from Kai Tahu. You'll notice it includes all the Otago Lakes with their pricey real estate. Totally stolen land. #kikorangi

My final thought on the piracy discussion... probably... this time?

AO3 is Right. There.

It's not all werewolf fated mates or whatever you've heard.

There's a lot of stuff that just takes place in the same world as something you've heard of.

I'm not the first to say it, but I think we should absolutely start a campaign to convince all the worst people that K2 is a *much* more impressive mountain to climb than Everest and we would all be much more impressed by that achievement

Our medical system, and I suspect this is a problem in many places around the world not just Aotearoa, has a real fucking problem with giving genuine care. It's honestly and truly fucked. 🤬

Masking should be mandatory by all who work in healthcare systems. No exceptions. 😡
Professions who have not thrown a hissyfit when we have asked them to mask:

Electrician ✅
Plumber ✅
Plunket nurse ✅
Photographer x2 ✅
Hairdresser ✅

Those who have:

Infant vaccinator nurse ❌
GP ❌
OBGYN ❌
Knee specialist doctor ❌
Physio ❌

Nothing today either.

If you are an ally/voter/concerned about further restrictions to healthcare that this move is a trial balloon for, and you’re wondering how long is too long to wait to speak up, imo any official response now is inauthentic - and inspires zero confidence for support in future.
Labour is now the only Opposition party who has not put out an official press release denouncing the NZ government’s restrictions to healthcare access for trans youth and affirming their strong support for the trans, takatāpui and rainbow communities.
