Good news, everyone!

I have terrible news.

The multi test for COVID, flu A/B and RSV was briefly available from Life Pharmacy, but out of stock now.

Maybe if enough of us email Life Pharmacy beseechingly they'll restock soon.

“New Zealand has become a society that is proud of saying they’re welcoming, but hasn’t built the environment to making it more than a word.”

The existence of the term "con crud" really should have been a greater indicator of how spaces are constructed and managed to exacerbate or mitigate the spread of illness.

I'm glad @kiwipycon and #PyConUS have been #COVIDcautious and doing things about it, but what other #conventions organisers are?

Gotta say, folks, I'm not liking the surge in COVID reported by wastewater numbers.

Especially with my husband flying up to Wellington on a business trip to Catalyst for the first time in ages. 😬

We have masks and Flo Travel spray and probiotic lozenges, but we don't have robust public health measures or clean air infrastructure, not even in hospitals.

No sir, I don't like it.

Heads up, they're trying to ban masks in #Chicago now, too, using identical language to the #NorthCarolina #MaskBan.

#NZTwits of Wellington, please support Zephyr Cafe, who closed in solidarity with the trans community on Saturday during the TERF conference, who are now getting abused on X and review-bombed by said TERFs.

Slightly mortifying question: how skillful a cyclist do you have to be to tow a kids trailer on your bike?

Someone has offered to lend us a trailer, and I am still at the absolute beginner stage of learning, but anything that helps us travel with our kid, who is still boycotting travel by car or bus, would be nice.

Have I mentioned lately that we all deserve better?

We're living through an ongoing pandemic, with a panzootic threatening to spill over, fascism on the rise everywhere, well-documented genocides, and everything generally being shittier AND more expensive.

Aren't y'all angry?

A brief run-down of my standard practice for #COVIDcautious hairdresser housecalls etc.

The client and I both take RATs the morning of the appointment. I wear a mask, I recommend the client does too (although can be tricky with sideshaves et al), and ideally we work in a room where there's windows that open for ventilation.

On nice days I've cut hair on people's decks, wind permitting. 😂

I also have my CO2 monitor, and I am considering saving up for another #HEPA filter that I can bring +

Doctor appointment at 2 today, plz hope for some relief from this annoying constant sinusitis, headaches and earaches I've been dealing with. 🙏🏻

I might need antibiotics, or possibly HRT, because yes, perimenopause can present with SINUS ISSUES.

Freakin hormones, why??

OK, #NZTwits, here's the plan. Seymour apparently knows better than all of us parents, let's have him judge who's sick enough to stay home 😝

Friends, help. Since the start of the panny d, my movie viewing has declined sharply (and will stay that way until IAQ is addressed, long story short).

The few I've seen and enjoyed: EEAAO, SMILE, THE MEG 2, BARBIE, and STRANGE WAY OF LIFE.

Anything amazing that I've missed out on? 📽️

Me, thinking about the music I listened to in my youth, and the bands that stood out as Not My Typical Aesthetic:

So, did every member of The Presidents of the United States of America have #ADHD, or just the main guy? 🤔

I know things are bleak, but a friend of mine just updated her IG with a picture of her newly received moko kauae, and she looks so proud and happy. Knowing what she's been through, I'm tearing up with joy for her.

There is hope, friends. The haters and the wreckers are loud, but they are scared, and we've only just begun to fight.

Kia māia, kia kaha.

It's been disappointing to see so many creatives I admire be absolute moral cowards and genocide apologists about the assault on #Palestine, but gratifying to see the creator of the delightful puzzle video game #BabaIsYou taking a stand.

Same goes for the creator of the BBC cartoon #SarahAndDuck. My son and I are both big fans, and I'm glad I don't have to boycott either of them.

#CeasefireNow

IG post from Sarah Gomes Harris A person arranging Palestine flags along the berm of a sidewalk Caption: "Protest outside Bohemia Rd police station. Please support the three arrestees. They have done nothing wrong. These institutions are protecting the institutions bombing a nation out of existence. This is unacceptable"

The kid is now saying the new carer can't come back tomorrow, even though he agreed yesterday. Breakfast was just a fruitless frustrating argument.

I'm back in bed, weeping, just completely overwhelmed.

My kid has been asking what the weather forecast for "the Little Kingdom" is.

If you're not familiar (aka not a parent of young kids who watch BBC programs), he means Ben & Holly's Little Kingdom, which was a series created and voiced by much of the same team behind Peppa Pig, but with a woodland fantasy setting populated by elves, fairies, gnomes and dwarves.
