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.

$4 BILLION to save 'up to 10 minutes' during peak traffic. Fucking hell - imagine what that $4B could do for housing, education, health, etc, in Aotearoa.

Saw Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty last night, so many great songs but felt so old when he introduced his son on guitar (he was so good!).

Wellington's failure to build an obviously needed upgrade to its dilapidated main streets is a damning and demonstrative example of a capital city self-immolating through incompetence and political cowardice.

It cost Casey Costello $4500 to hire a room to meet with Irish anti-trans activist Helen Joyce. $1000 for a council social event to unveil a painting is peanuts & much more positive bc it involves sthg tangible (painting) & supports a local artist.

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

This gives me hope! As a geriatric millennial I’m pretty sure I only had one dose (can only remember one at 11) so I’m booked in for a top up this week.
Talking to a nurse at my GP's office today - apparently they're being inundated by people wanting MMR vaccines.
Thousands of them, she told me it seems like.
Hopefully this means our vaccination rates will get somewhere near where they need to be to stop future outbreaks.

I feel like such a boomer. My work just tested us with a fake phishing email that involved my manager posting about his cute new puppy on our intranet. I was totally lured in by the puppy. I feel ashamed.

Anyone can become disabled.
Anyone can lose their job.
Anyone can become homeless.
Anyone can go hungry.
These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.
Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.
We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.
