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.

In other news, the #NZ govt still plans to phase out free RATs by end of June.

This is a spectacularly bad idea, so please write to your MP and/or the MoH to ask they continue. Aotearoa #Covid Action has an open letter here: https://covidaction.nz/en/keepratsfree

Also, find your nearest location that dispenses free RATs and stock up over the next few weeks according to the size of your household.

@RolfBly @patrickworld @APBBlue the silly bubs will absolutely crush the plants, so I learned to bend wire mesh around it, or if you can find a small cage for like, carrying dwarf rabbits, planting directly inside it.

Then they can only nibble what grows beyond the wire, and sit on it to their hearts content https://rooster613.blogspot.com/2018/07/give-your-cat-cage-of-catnip.html?m=1

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 have been and doing things about it, but what other 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.

Also ordered some Merino socks from Sock Dreams, which I know seems disloyal to the AoNZ market, but I'm sorry, none of the local offerings are this thick and comfy, and affordable even with the exchange rate

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

You know the two major parties are just offering more oligarchy and corporate rule, their social issues are just contrived to court the dumber electorate on the extremes. They aren't there to represent you and they never will until damaged to unrecognisable and needing to be rebuilt.

Vote green, force the other two into earning your vote. Or let them rot.

Greens might go the same way, but much slower. Let's see how it goes.

That fails. I'll approve use of guillotines, ok?

@lhgmk2 I really don't get why people in the UK and NZ act and vote as if there are Only Two Parties That Could Possibly Win, while in the US that is currently the case and yet suddenly in the year before each election everyone is suddenly wet for a third party with no chance.

Is it all bad actors?

@lhgmk2 ahh, forgot the UK still has FPTP, my bad. Point still stands for NZ, I forget how pols-mad my social circle is, but you'd still think nearly three decades in people would know we have MMP and have at least a basic grasp

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.

What happens when you mandate masks at a conference now that most people no longer wear them but medically vulnerable people are still at risk because ? In the case of , the conference sells out.

Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.

Well done @pycon https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/112445571644276379

@cferdinandi @chriswood @smach @pycon very much this. AuDHD, tall for a woman and my hair constantly changes colour. Adding a mask in public honestly hasn't noticeably changed the level of staring

Good day to you, fellow comrades in the resistance to fascism.

I come to you once more, to ask for your assistance

in defraying the costs of beating Leukemia with a monthly infusion

of baby unicorn tears.

Here's some photos of the fun times I had at chemo. I can accept your generous help via the links below.

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?
