My (possibly unoriginal) idea that you can have for free @NZPSA - organise one day where all public servants, that can, go into their offices. Even if they don't have desk capacity.

@actparty So you agree, trans folks should be able to access gender affirming care? You agree that if a teenager in school wants to learn about relationships other than straight ones they should be able to?

You are the most qualified person to make decisions affecting your own life.

@actparty I guess it's easy to propose changes that won't affect you as much because you'll be dead.

🚨 New member's bill just announced.

@nicolabruce7 @Hilary_Barry @Awaken_Snorlax @BrianTamakiNZ Sad life you live there babes, if all you can do is spout vitriolic hate towards the trans community and their allies. Is it not just...so boring? What kind of woman thinks the sun shines out of Tamaki's ass, honestly 😂 Maybe try taking up a hobby to keep your hands busy 🧶🏳️‍⚧️

You ignorant cow. Brian is away on a hunting trip and posts when he can . He doesn't need a fake profile. The fact you have to make your own silly we tweet shows you have no support . Why don't you go eat arse with your mate smakentush . I'm sure the taste of of 💩 will be familiar to you

👀 WATCH NZ has reached a new all-time bottom-of-the-barrel stupidity. Tonight, Seven Sharp makes broadcasting space for Adult R18 Drag Queens and Drag Kings who sexualize kids and toddlers through Storytelling...this is Sick and Satanic. Of course, they dress it up and make this perversion seem all nice and innocent on tonight's show. They lie through their teeth implying our protests are illegal and violent...that we would have broken the library glass windows and kids would have been hurt. NZers should be so outraged, and should demand 1News, Hillary Barry and Seven Sharp are defunded and taken off TV for promoting and protecting Sexual Predators on National TV. It's criminal to promote Adult Entertainers entertaining and targeting children. It's nothing short of Child Abuse. @winstonpeters @TanyaUnkovichMP @familyfirstnz

@eph__em__era I saw a great video of some kids with Nicola Willis and they went "1...2...3...TOITU TE TIRITI!" 🤌😂

hell yeah to the random students gettin in the back of david seymour's vic clubs day photo ops with the palestinian flag and protest signs - thus ruining any way he could post them hell yeah hell yeah

Govt is moving to ban the colours red and blue, the letters M, B, P, and certain hand gestures, but only when used by brown people. This will obviously go great and there will be no abuse of police discretion in its exercise

@bauhausandmies Sounds delightful 🍦

Well well well 😂💚

@RebeccaJEmm People thinking gerrymandering to only allow people who own homes voting rights is it is...not it.

I’m used to hearing that as a renter I shouldn’t get to be a councillor, as if the future of the city matters less to me cause my name is not on a rates bill. But the idea now spreading that renters shouldn’t get to VOTE is the most anti-democratic nonsense I’ve ever heard.

@RebeccaJEmm Absolutely 💚 much needed today.

Am I allowed to say that this was happy news? We needed some happy news today fam

@NZStuff making you create a login to do the bloody quiz, and having Privacy and Terms links not resolving so you can't see how they're going to use your data is pretty great

@USUN Blood on your hands.

@frankritchie Please let us help. hEDS is so chronically misunderstood that you shouldn't have to take her overseas, but you have to and we'll get you folks there ok? xx

And it is gutting to know that if the HCTP request is unsuccessful, which looks increasingly likely - with no alternative medical solution offered - we will need to pursue more donations on top of the amazing generosity already shown. This journey is so so hard 😞

After a discussion with another vascular surgeon yesterday I can’t help but feel that trying to get HCTP funding to help pursue surgery in Germany for our girl as has been recommended by 3 specialists, has done little more than add to our family’s trauma 😢

@JoshMarshallNZ The north of Ireland is still without an Assembly afaik, also.

@eph__em__era UUUGhhhhh. Love and hate this for you.

IRRITATINGLY the 40 buck supplement I got for my -very specific health issue- has been working incredibly well So now I have to spend 40 bucks on it every six weeks :(

Hell hath no fury than a suburb focussed community Facebook Admin scorned. It's not that serious ( but transphobia is).

Not terfs invading a fucking community Facebook group 🤮 thankfully lots of great allyship in the comments ✌️🏳️‍⚧️

@nashthomas @RebeccaJEmm It is a delightful place to be! There's always a bus to get into town even if it's maybe not your preferred #. I think we especially notice as we've been at our place +10yrs and remember when the 14 was really good 😅 appreciate your continued efforts in this space!

@RebeccaJEmm @ellenvmelon Hopefully people are seeing improvements in the 14, but it’s true that Miramar is very well served by bus, especially the number 2 which is our busiest route - over 3 million passenger trips in the last 12 months!

Temporarily living in Miramar has really proved that my usual suburb, served by the #14 has really shit public transport access. I have three bus options out here and they're pretty much always on time, haven't noticed any obvious cancellations, and they're not packed.

@RebeccaJEmm @nashthomas I started shifting my travel to just on that switch to "off peak" so I knew I'd get a bus. The fee diff means I'll do this again when I get back home too! Having the 8.15 bus back more regularly has made a difference as that was making that 8-9am time pretty shit if it didn't run

@ellenvmelon @nashthomas Have you noticed an improvement in reliability from Wadestown lately at least ? (fingers crossed).
