Many of these charities only exist because people like Mowbray are greedy arseholes, who became rich by exploiting others and then, instead of supporting fair taxes, they donate to hard right political parties like ACT #nzpol

I can't help but think that if @kawaiicon.bsky.social could make this happen, then #39C3, it should be possible for other conferences to do as well. Particularly those who's organisers have some money to begin with or which charge a lot to attend.
This is incredible: CCC #39C3 (hacker conference in Germany) is doing CO2 room monitoring this year just like @kawaiicon.bsky.social so attendees can assess risk!

PSA: Definitely a Covid spike around with people meeting up more... simple to take a little care, be a little vigilant, it's still a dangerous virus that can have long term impacts.
Eek. There‘s been quite the spike in the wastewater surveillance. And anecdata also suggests an increase in Covid cases in the Wellington region. My neighbours have just all had it, and one of the leads in my daughter’s ballet show had to pull out because she got sick.

It's that time of the year where the diet industry tries to hook you in.

For #InverteFest here’s a sterling silver octopus hair fork with an opal gemstone that I made a few years ago. I added circle stampings to the forks to represent octopus suckers.
This design is hard to press and easy to mess up, so I don’t use it a lot, but I love it!

We have no idea what’s going on in someone’s life and even a well intentioned “calling out” (I’m not saying this was) can be harmful.

Ugh I hate having an invisible disability… just had the Interislander person try to make me walk down the stairs…
“there are plenty of families, that doesn’t mean you can use the lift. Please use the stairs”
I had to repeat a few times that I can’t walk that far?!

Sunday morning treats….My Instagram feed had shown me this cafe weeks ago & I saved it incase I had a chance to find it. Glad I did, chill vibe, gentle music (mostly Christmas songs) and decadent espresso & brûlée cheesecake 😋

As a climate activist and now a pandemic realist, I've given a lot of thought to how much do we acknowledge the state of the world to our kids
I've come to the same view as @ninawildflower.bsky.social , it's our duty to tell them the ugly truth🧵

My children know that the times they are growing up in are much darker than the times that my wife and I grew up in.
And much darker than the time when the game was created, around the time my children were born.
