#SecretSantaAoNZ will be a delayed opening here as my trip to after hours has turned into an ED visit - pain semi controlled and awaiting next steps - looking forward to opening when I’m home!

People of the world, I do heartily suggest digging into #SecretSantaAoNZ for some feel good vibes today. If you need some wholesome good internet fun in your life. 😘 It's an Aotearoa New Zealand wide Secret Santa run both here and on Mastodon (will need to be bridged to see those). It's DELIGHTFUL.😍

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

If you’re saying people are in dire straights because they can’t budget but you’re an employer paying less than the living wage or a landlord saying ‘the market’ determines rents as if you have no agency in the process, you are part of the problem and your charitable giving is performance. #nzpol

A local lunch outing today - halfway through my sixth course of antibiotics this year which play havoc with my insides - on the upside I should be finished before Christmas 🎄

I'm genuinely proud of you for doing the hard things that nobody else sees. You're doing an amazing job. What is one small, hard thing you’ve managed to do recently? Let’s celebrate it.

Hey America, if you were a Christian nation, you’d be feeding the poor, not yelling at them for using food stamps.

Sure be good for the country’s economy if all the people giving free ads to a foreign flatpack megacorp were giving as much airtime and money to local businesses employing skilled local people.

If all you did today was breathe and survive… that’s ok.
Surviving a capitalist, eugenicist, ableist system is hard work.
Resistance is exhausting.
Never forget that rest is resistance.
Survival is resistance.
You’re not alone.
There’s more of us than there are of them.

I wouldn’t have said so myself - but I do play Pokémon Go, the NYT Crossword, Wordle, Sudoku, Connections, Strands and I enjoy board and card games too!
Another day, another chance to learn more about you #SecretSantaAoNZ

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

If you have a dairy that got ramraided six times by the same kids and then they turned up one day outside asking everyone to contribute to “help make the dairy good again” then you’ll know what it feels like to hear National pledge to make our super savings as good as Australia’s
