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

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
Today's #SecretSantaAoNZ question is a pretty important one.
Make sure you add the hashtag to your replies so it's easily searchable for your Santa. We wouldn't want them to miss it.

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.
Zero surprises that the brainless transphobic health minister in NZ ignored all expert advice and evidence and banned puberty blockers for trans youth. Literal blood on his hands.

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.
Today's question for #SecretSantaAoNZ
Especially great for all the crafting Santas we're blessed with when they're sleuthing.

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.

HDPA in full victim blaming mode here. Let's remember Ms Z was:
1. 20 years his junior
2. A player he coached in sport
3. His employee
4. Threatened by him over job
5. Blackmailed by him threatening to release intimate photos
6. Constantly told no one would believe her

It's not just one bad apple Mr Mitchell but many more that failed to protect and care for this woman.

I have two gorgeous dogs Missy and Luna.
Missy is a golden retriever x goldendoodle that looks like the goldendoodle didn't and Luna is a nova scotia duck tolling retriever. Both are happily spoilt daily.
