Literally, at work this morning:
Clinician: Patient should stop medication A, but must keep taking medication B.
AI VR transcription of this: Patient should stop taking medication B.
Seriously NEVER LET A DOCTOR USE AI FOR YOUR APPOINTMENTS. NEVER. UNDER ANY FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES.
I always try to buy something from the bakery section at the supermarket and stop and have a chat with any of the homeless people outside. I'll never forget an interview from a previously homeless person who said that no one would ever make eye contact or talk to them and how dehumanising it was.
A square blue sticker stuck onto a green plastic recycling bin side. Has a green circle with a white check mark inside it and says "You're a recycling champion! Hamilton City Council
I cannot even begin to describe how good this feels as a former "Pleasure to have in class" kid 🤣 Especially since most of the bins down the road had orange or red tags
Heads up to avoid rnz tomorrow morning. They're doing yet another interview/think piece on puberty blockers.
Ffs.
Yet again there'll be serious 'what about the children ' from cis people who don't have trans kids.

Long oval biscotti cookies filled with chopped pistachio crowded onto a tray
I have baked two batches of cookies and have made zero dinner progress. Cereal for dinner?
Our teams across #Gaza received seven patients, including two children, with injuries from Israeli attacks, in just three days, between Jan. 31 and Feb. 2, 2026.
Hundreds of people have been killed since the #ceasefire agreement.
Erica Stanford announcing a NEW IDEA. Twice yearly school reports which show how children are doing in reading, writing and maths and how their progress tracks to expected achievement.

i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/
"There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me.
fuck ice.
The question so many of us are trying to answer 🫣
It's so important! You are such a beautiful human for making them available to us 💕
Huge fan of your work! Thanks for helping make the world a brighter and better place
I get constant compliments on these, so fun! Get yourself a pair here
The very worst part of being an adult!
And if you want a Mamdani, you need to volunteer with a ground campaign. You need to talk to people irl about the policies your candidate is fronting and why they're a good thing.
It's not just charisma, it's support. Support against bad actors and support to rally wider political momentum.
So worth it! 💕
New from me: Health officials said there was ‘no evidence base’ about the likely impacts of the Government’s decision to ban puberty blockers for transgender youth.

Missing Kirikiriroa. Popped to Glenfield Mall to grab some moving items for a friend and had not one but two parking spots taken from me 😅 So not used to this vibe anymore
Found some rather more professional words to express my sweary thoughts on millionaire men utterly ignoring all the unpaid work many women and carers do over the holiday period.

If you are a woman who has children, then it is assumed your performance is taking a hit due to parental responsibilities. But if you are a man you can spend all day doing your illegal side quests and still be considered leadership material.
The health bodies who have made statements against the ban on blockers: Paediatric Society of New Zealand, The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, New Zealand Society of Endocrinology, Royal Australasian College of Physicians, Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists, Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa, New Zealand Nurses Organisation, Te Ora: Maori Medical Practitioners, Te Kähui Korowai Rangatahi - Youth Health Aotearoa. Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa, New Zealand College of Public Health Medicine, Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners
A list of medical associations who oppose the government’s move to ban puberty blockers for adolescents.
The professionals who spoke at the protest, like those listed, were clear: the govt hasn’t acted on the science, or for the care of adolescents, they’ve acted on bigotry, & lives will be lost.
Oh and grating and baking it, so good in wraps and sandwiches 🤤 I haven't tried it in my waffle iron, which is surprising because I use it for so many things 😅
Vegetarian food can have texture! So over mushy burgers. Side note, do you freeze your tofu? My mother in law taught me and it changed everything for me. When our oldest went vegetarian I pivoted lots of our fave meat meals to vegetarian. Bless her, she has probably saved us so much money 😅
Please sign this petition to lift the incoming cruel ban on access to puberty blockers for trans young people.

I absolutely did, let's see if I get a good response.
Did I just email the preteens school to query why they felt the need to add "age appropriate" to the skirts and dresses part of the dress code on the end of year dance notice but not any of the other clothing...
Eeeep. Worth it though, my favourite flowers! Was so glad to find them for Grandma, it's my yearly tradition for her birthday. I was hoping to treat myself to a bunch but that was the last one. Got a gorgeous giant bunch of lisianthus also for $12 so not too bad 😅
