If you have a bird in need of urgent care, please take them to your local vet clinic. If you’ve found a native bird, you can also ask for advice on 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468). We are currently experiencing issues with our phone connection and most calls are not coming through.

I'm part of a team that are launching Whanganui’s first frequent bus in over 30 years. It’s called Te Ngaru The Tide, and it’s a first step towards public transport that aims to be usable for everyone - the kind we’ve revived in large cities but also the kind we used to have here

If i manage to do anything more satisfying this year than killing the mosquito that has been dive bombing my ear for the last twenty minutes, i will be immensely surprised.

It’s my privilege to have served with @jacindaardern and to have witnessed her strength, intellect and humanity as she lead us through the pandemic. Her leadership saved tens of thousands of New Zealand lives.

For starters, most women I know would dispute the narrative that this is a “shock resignation”.
At this point in @radionz’s live coverage I would very much like to hear very fucking soon a female voice — on leadership, mental health, motherhood, steering the ship through external disasters and so much more. This is a multi-layered breaking news and all I’m hearing is dudes.

Packing is a very particular frame of mind.

The Indigenous people of both countries share Feb 6 as a day that acknowledges their status as tangata whenua. How is that reflected in their constitutional arrangements & in the EU FTA? @MarinSanna @jacindaardern
When I think of Finland, I think of so many questions for both PMs…

Lastly, 👶 Titipounamu (Rifleman, wich are so small that with feathers they are no bigger than a golf ball) are breeding outside Zealandia for the first time & ITS SO GOOD that 11 North Island Brown kiwi have been released into the Outer green belt just the other week 🥝
It's raining and not windy, and I feel like I'm on holiday somewhere nice.
Today our volunteers were out around Wellington putting up the signs for the Fair. Not long left now. 😊 See you next Sunday.

My autistic, ADHD brain will forever be grateful that podcasts can run at 1.5x and 2x speed. The ability to speed them up is what makes it possible for me to enjoy them. I find it so hard to focus on or process auditory stimuli that moves at an average/slow pace.

Āe, ngā mihi maioha! The survey is due to close on 30 November. We would love to hear from all trans and non-binary SWers before then
Trans awareness week is a great week for trans and NB SWers to do the survey!

The gender today is the smell of oakmoss and sound of water dripping in a cave.
