If you work a full-time job, you should earn enough to pay rent, utilities, buy food, clothes, enjoy the weekend and have enough left over to pop in savings. This is apparently controversial.

I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?" She instantly replied "yes." Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.

@biggsintweets I was today years old when I learned that the Matariki stars were born out of the conflict between Tane Mahuta and his siblings about whether to separate Papatuanuku and Ranginui to create the world of light.

Wellington wāhine - We forgot this was a long weekend, oops! 🤦‍♀️ Lunch catch-up is postponed til next Monday (13 June) when people are back in town.

@WomenInUrbanism @miriammooretoo Monday 13th - 12:30pm! Location TBC but likely Midland Park subject to weather. Does anyone know of a nice indoor space we could use as a back up though?

@miriammooretoo @agbrielle what's the plan for next week? Same time same place as the fb event?
