How is your brother's opossum doing?

This is crazy. Every EU leader needs to be calling the White House!

This is utterly disgusting.

Oh thank you!

I need these all round the house. Seriously.

I need these in the house.

Love your colour palette. I have lost all my hollyhocks and have trouble finding single ones, the garden centres only sell doubles. Might be Kings Seeds time.

Blocking healthcare cause you’re anti disabled people/women/children/queer people is so sinister. It’s bullying and abusive behavior. Abusive people withhold resources. Straight up state violence against its own people.

I love sudoku, wordle, word fill ins (not finders) and used to play online scrabble.

My favourite animal is the horse. I love cats, dogs, rabbits, poultry, donkeys, alpacas, sheep, sloths.....most animals really.

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

Anyone would think we’re talking about 1000s of children being prevented from going through puberty forever with the use of puberty blockers.

Puberty blockers were prescribed to 113 people in 2023.

Come on now. Let doctors and other medical professionals do their damned job.

Wow how rude of them.

I have a duck who developed a limp late yesterday. I have no idea how she did it, it's not like she fell off her high heels or anything.

I have worn one constantly when out for years now. Get a bit fed up with people questioning me as to why I wear one. Then I will see another mask wearer, and we'll give a half wave of solidarity to one another. A bit like Lada drivers do.

National is the party of mediocre white men who constantly fail their way upwards.

Hope you feel better soon. Selfish git should have worn a mask to protect those around them.

Puberty blockers: why politicians overriding doctors sets a dangerous precedent Analysis: The government's ban on puberty blockers for gender-affirming care prioritises politics and ideology over decades of expert clinical guidance and patient safety evidence.

It’s been a shit few days here at #COP30 so when I got the pānui that my iwi are taking the Crown to Court to protect our taiao and future generations it was pretty special.

A real demonstration of everything we’re preaching here - Indigenous Peoples are holding the line where states are failing!

Nothing is by mistake. We ended Selective Availability during the Clinton Era and even then DoD GPS units were not subject to it.

There is a difference between an unlawful order and a manifestly unlawful order. The latter is when something is so illegal anyone would know it's wrong -- like shooting a POW in the back while they're bound. But also like an order that repeats the same orders routinely overturned by a dozen courts.

Why Israeli soldiers and their leaders may be increasingly at risk of arrest overseas Under the legal doctrine of ‘universal jurisdiction’, any country can prosecute allegations of war crimes, regardless of the nationality of the perpetrator or victims.

In the end there will be Nuremberg like trials theconversation.com/why-israeli-...

Sums up National.

NZ stands with our firefighters ✊

They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol
