Had a really wonderful time hanging with the Waikato Kiwi Conservation Club kids on the weekend. We did a gully bug hunt, looked at fishing spiders & learnt about spiderling ballooning by making parachutes. Many logs rolled & lots of clever, engaged kids.

Been sick (like all of NZ) but I'm on the mend & back sweating for the last couple of days of June. I'm really close to raising $2K & would love your help getting the last $ together. All of it goes towards some awesome life saving Rainbow charities in Aotearoa www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

I've been feeling glum about the proposed RSE guidelines as yet another attempt to erase gender diverse kids. So I went online & bought a couple books to donate to our school library. I hope a kiddo reads this one day & feels seen, even if they otherwise aren't. ❤️ 🌈
