Twitter is how I met my husband. How I found some of my best friends. How I learned so so SO much, & how I was able to participate in community & conversation when I was too ill to do it physically. Thank you forever to everyone who was part of that.

It's stupid that after such insane success - & whether you like her or not, you can't argue the success - the conversation is *still* about any dude supposedly associated w Taylor Swift.

Sure, she writes about her experiences, which is her prerogative, but it's just boring & must be so frustrating for her that she's done incredible things, & it's Still. About. Men.
Also I know this is bad of me, but I didn't report my positive case, nor did my husband or brother, or friends who had covid prior. So we know for certain the case numbers are higher than shown.

Labour continues to ignore the expert report they commissioned, which advised urgent changes to the welfare system, and that was pre-covid. Long Covid is a health and economic reality we can't ignore.

A man has covered himself in hundreds of hot chips after burying himself in the sand at Surfers Paradise Beach. The stunt attracted dozens of seagulls, with a couple of bin chickens also sniffing around for a cheeky chip. 7NEWS.com.au #7NEWS

Also cisnormative & environmentally unfriendly which go together unsurprisingly often

My husband has covid. We're currently isolating & remembered we need to vote this week. I was a little disturbed to realise the envelopes for the voting papers are the sort you usually lick to close...

I'm sure the risk is minimal etc but I sure wouldn't want to be responsible for all those spit-covered envelopes

Reasons my kitten has bitten me today: - I told her off for pissing in a bag of bird seed - I pulled a piece of ribbon she was choking on out of her mouth - I removed her from the freezer (??) - I came home from work.

The barriers for people w disability & chronic illness to give feedback are often huge, & we absolutely need *time*. I've had concerns about the new Ministry from day one - especially when the first role of importance was given to a non-disabled person.

Totally unacceptable to give our community 24 hours to respond to something so important. Not a great start to building respectful and positive relationships. Adding insult to injury really. Right to #health newshub.co.nz/home/politics/… #CovidIsNotOver #disability #HumanRights

It shouldn't take much to understand that we should be represented by someone w lived experience. Imagine if a pakeha were head of the new Maori health org, or a man was CEO of the Ministry for Women.

I'm sposed to be not entering The Discourse but just casually, how the FUCK are we letting Louis CK do shows here? And have I missed public action against it that I can join?

Existing as a woman in the world is exhausting. Today a guy stopped me in SaveMart to ask about my headphones. He was clearly an audiophile but so am I & my husband manages audio at PB Tech. Dude didn't listen to a word I said, just kept referencing YouTube reviews

Then he starts making comments about my appearance & asks if he can photograph me. At first I'm vaguely flattered, but declined. He shows me the pics he takes. I want to believe he's a good person & I'm awkward so I don't walk away. Plus, I don't know how he'd react.
