As usual, Aotearoa is the advance scout for 2026, and we can safely report it's not noticeably worse than 2025 (so far).
With the times we live through, that'll have to suffice.
Hop in, rest of the world, the water is nice!
Happy new year to all. 🌍🎉❤️

The US is on a human rights watch list, and there are literally countries warning about visiting the United States of America.
All it took was one year of Putin’s puppet being in power again.

As someone who often conducts fieldwork in remote places, I find it really irritating that many applications now require an internet connection to function.
