So good to connect in person with
@nickruane.bsky.social (Chair of the Kirk Disability Sector) and Priyanca Radhakrishnan (Labours disability spokesperson).
I think we are all on the same page in wanting wholesale improvement across the board for disabled ppl and families.

Handheld pies for dinner!
Nothing like a big ben mince and cheese pie to keep the children happy and fed and an easy win/night off cooking for me 😊👍🏼
Bonus points for air fryer which does a fantastic job without heating up the kitchen/house

My talk is titled "Holding space: Disability, families, and collective hope beyond neoliberalism"
I’ll be joining Carolyn O’Neill, Nic McKenzie, and Hamish Taverner - should be a fabulous couple of hours!

Caffeinated up and ready for Day 2 of the Community Waikato conference ✌🏻😊💕
Off to the Community Waikato conference today. Looking forward to being able to just turn up and listen and soak - feeling very tired and wrung out this side of the year so is fabulous timing! Also. Conference theme is "navigating the tough times" which is perfect 👌🏼 👍🏼

This is who the anti-cycling lobby are harming when they get nasty about cyclists and cycle lanes.
This kid can't always see cars coming, and needs the balance support of 3 wheels. Cycle lanes give her independence and a way to move safely about the city.

I've been spending time in Welly this week with my 15yo. Despite all appearances to the contrary, she (and I) are having a lovely time! So good to have some unrushed, one on one time together.

Off to Parliament for a Parliamentary Friends of Eye Health Event. Should be fun and a chance to connect with others in the vision space. I'll try not to get too political (chortles endlessly at the thought that this is in any way manageable 🤣)

Was so good to see these two amazing women today 💕 there is much that is going horrendously awfully wrong in our country but knowing I'm not alone in being simultaneously infuriated and determined to make a difference keeps me going 🩷

Today's ridiculous announcement from the National Party penalizing young people and their families had me thinking of this meme again

It is hard to take the Disability Strategy seriously when so much is being done to actively prevent culturally competent care, undermine health professionals, and slash much needed digital infrastructure investment:

Massive thanks to Parafed Waikato and Whakapapa for organising an adaptive skiing lesson, a great time was had by all ☺️💕
It wasn't something we would have attempted on our own! The support made a huge difference. Very thankful to everyone whose thoughtful consideration made it a successful day ❤️
