It’s Saturday, the sun is shining and I have my writers’ group meet up this afternoon.
(I mean, I’ve also got a headache, my cat just threw up and I’m behind on work, but let’s focus on the positives, people!)

Yes.
It’s only Tuesday and I’m feeling so fed up and exhausted. I can’t even tell what’s bothering me anymore.
Is it ADHD related? Work? PMS? Not taking a single break all day? The world on fire around us?
Probably all of the above.

“So what?” my mentor said, “Own it. You’re someone who gets things done.”

How does anyone justify this anymore?
If you do, I'm sorry, you're a genocidal psychopath. I hope someone in your life intervenes and talks to you about how you've completely dehumanized an entire people and become blinded by your hate and racism.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he ordered the strikes because of a lack of progress in talks to extend the ceasefire. Officials said the operation was open-ended and was expected to expand.

Yep. Can’t feel sorry for them.
I reckon if you operate just like a hotel, charge the same, if not more as a hotel, then you should indeed pay the same rates as a hotel. It's either a business or it's a home. #nzpol

This is disgusting behaviour.
At a pride spiritual event in memory of lost community members last night in Ōtautahi, as attendees were deep in meditation, a group of intruders broke into the space and filmed them as they chanted homophobic slurs. They vandalised rainbow stickers on cars outside on their way out.

We send out deepest solidarity and aroha to our Muslim whānau today as we mark six years since the white supremacist terrorist attack on al-Noor and Linwood Masjids in Ōtautahi/Christchurch. Since that time, the circumstances for another racist attack have only become more likely, not less.

We all have it in ourselves to make sure March 15 never happens again. Whether that's advocating for better gun control, making sure anti-racism is taught in our schools and communities, or simply remembering that love is a better response than pettiness, spite or fear.

Apparently it’s wildly socialist to think this, but I believe all kids should get fed at school. All ages, all deciles. No means testing. Just food.

100% back @misswhanau.bsky.social - I think she’s bloody awesome and meeting her in person a couple of months back confirmed that!
Wellington do back her comments. They are true. Luxon and his Govt have made a habit of bad mouthing Wellington.
They have gone behind her back, they have sought to undermine her.
I’d say she’s earned the right to call him out.
