Over on Twitter I was told to "b*g off". I told the tweeter to "b*g off yourself" and got reported and banned for 12 hours for using violent language. So I reported the original tweet. Which was fine apparently 🙄 go figure

We've been trying to do things to celebrate small wins as a mental health thing.
My partner had a mark on his cheek which turned out to be melanoma. We heard tonight they've got it all.
This is a big win.

I'm wondering if BVV has an undeveloped sense of humour. Instead of people being fearful of Workplace Safety, we make jokes about it.
Today, that happened at work. I said to a customer, "I don't want you reporting us to WS," and we both laughed.
Maybe that's where Broke gets her info?

Just want to point out that every voter in New Zealand should be against the Regulatory Standards Bill & here's why #nzpol
The Regulatory Standards Bill locks in ACT's narrow view of "good law," restricting future laws from ALL PARTIES—Labour, Greens, Te Pāti Māori, including NATIONAL & NZ FIRST.

Pōneke friends I need your help.
Circumstances have led my flatmates needing my room. It's all amicable, but I need to find a new flat.

- less people
-Reasonable access
-People who don't mind a 50+ woman who WFH(most important)
-Some storage space

This thread outlines the issues around Michael Forbes behaviour very clearly. If journalists and politicians could bother.
I'm going to say that simply having sex with sex workers is not even a problem, and should never cause anyone ever to lose their job or have their role questioned. It's not my cup of tea personally, but it's totally normal & can be healthy.
So, if you're a journalist focusing on that: big side-eye.

Had an unexpected day off today so I did my submission about the RSB.
Then I emailed it to Sam Uffindell and told him as my representative in Parliament to read it and vote accordingly.
