The government paid for my mum’s uni fees in full. She worked part time as a lab tech. The lab tech job didn’t require any qualifications. It was enough to live out of home
there were periods where you could have a part time service job that covered college classes and rent! so often i'd read about artists in the 60s and 70s who also paid for studio spaces they could stock with supplies, who had the leisure time to party and create their great works. robbed, i tell ya!

This makes me so angry. Our trans youth deserve access to gender affirmating care. Anything other than this is abuse and will traumatize them and their families. We do not need more youth s*icide but that is what will happen.

The Government is banning new patients from being prescribed the most common form of puberty blocker and is explicitly aligning NZ's future policy on this matter to the UK's. PR below.

Your phone cannot tell you if your cat is a certain breed. My phone thought Fergus and Francie were a shih tzu. If you got your cat from a shelter or picked it up as a stray it is OVERWHELMINGLY likely that you have a standard mixed breed cat and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
