Ohhhhh animals are my weakness. I carry spiders out to safety and wish I could do the same for mice. Love dogs and cat, have 2 dogs myself. Feel like I could die happy if I saw Nessie

To my giftee, im so excited to see what you think of based on the few facts I have shared. The time, energy and effort of being a gift giver is enough to already make me feel special. A personal note, something small, recycled, home made or secondhand hand will be treasured here

The only perk of walking the dogs on a very rainy day, making them look like this with their towels while they wait to be dried off

Aversions to very strongly scented perfumes or candles, prefer cotton and smooth/soft materials, have an aversion to microfiber and polarfleece material. And the dreaded dairy sensitive tummy- but as I have mentioned- my taste buds and self control wane at times

I don’t care what or why, the government should never have a say in what a doctor can prescribe for what reason, that’s between the doctor and patient.

Hey trans-folk, non-binary and takatapui peeps I see you, we see you. Your value as a human being isn't contingent on your genitals or karyotypes matching your gender. Ignore the TERFs & bigoted cockwombles if you can, take time out if you need. Our society is enriched cause you're you.

The stopping of puberty blockers for our rangatahi is solely a POLITICAL move made by people uninformed and unqualified to make such a decision #nzpol

They illegally blocked a best practices document the government commissioned from experts and then disregarded it.

You could join in ece or kindy teaching... we are so (at this point) bicultural as possible and as a kaiako I have no intent on doing less, only strengthening my practice

I collect second hand books and read some- these are two distinct hobbies. I crochet and collect wool. Im a teacher so new stationery and a good pen is always treasured ( no diaries though, i have no follow through to write important dates down. Plants die in my care

My favourite colours are blues and purples. I love many colours in theory, but I wear dark blue, dark greens, black greys, deep reds and purples. I like silver jewellery, and for the house natural wood tones and stone colours.

These are all valid points, but none of them matter as much as the fact that McSkimming was a cop. And a senior cop.

It doesn't matter who his victim was, because no matter who they were He Was A Police Officer aka one of the most powerful people in everyday society.

Im a foodie, there isnt much that could be delivered by post i don't enjoy. I have difficulty with dairy and usually refrain- but will sometimes forgo symptoms for something decadent in chocolate.
