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.

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.

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.

It Was a Point Blank Execution David Farrier's Webworm reports from the scene as ICE executes another American

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.

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.

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

Only millionaires would complain about other people's holidays And forget about unpaid family carers

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.

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 😅

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 😅
