Thanks to the generous initial response to this #GiveALittle and 100% success with her funding applications (also amazing) Daena is going to Houston ... but complications have drained the money set aside for contingencies so we're boosting it around again to try and build that safety margin back up.

I'm a believer in the power of weak links so a boost is as good as a contribution :)

Hey #nz #NZTwits fedi friends.

@nat is needing support from our community right now. If you have cash to spare, consider sending some to their givealitte.

Please help my friend Mandi, who has MS. She is now home in NZ but just to get home—as she is now paralysed after an attack in Dubai—11 seats on an Airbus A380 for her stretcher and support team were needed. She wasn’t insured because of her pre-existing condition.

Time for another #NZTwits #NZPol #Poll

Do you think #NewZealand would be faring better if Jacinda #Ardern was still PM and Grant #Robertson Finance Minister instead of #Luxon as PM and #Willis as FM?

Shout out to any #NZTwits in Tamaki Makaurau #Auckland who might own a working DAT player.

Over recent months I've been going through a process of digitising/archiving hundreds of 4 track & cassette recordings made over the last 30+ years. I sent my DAT player in to get repaired and just learned it has been diagnosed with a control board fault due to the failure of its microprocessor.
Long story short, I'm looking for a DAT player I can borrow for a couple of days to archive DAT recordings.

This is my talented wife, who has had a piece accepted into the juried exhibition at the Houston International Quilt Festival, kind of an Olympics of quilting.

All her quilting friends /mentors are saying that she absolutely has to be there herself if possible, so we’re trying to crowdfund.

I’m a believer in the power of weak links, so a boost is as good as a donation

Has anyone lost a somewhat tame pūkeko? Its likes are undoing shoelaces & biting my husband.

Godfuckingdammit.

How far we've fallen, and continue to fall, from "world leading response".

#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.

Retoot for reach!

Yo, LGBTQIA+ friends. In relation to today's #nzpol shit-fuckery, I'm a safe person.

I hope that's been clear from my language, persona, etc for the longest of times, but for the avoidance of any doubt, I'm here for you, no matter how you identify.

If anyone has any suggestions about pins/other wearable paraphernalia I can purchase to support LGBTQIA+ artists, and show my support for the community publicly, I would love to get links etc.

If you have a character in a story called #Cassandra, she makes a prediction, no one believes her, and then it turns out she's wrong, that's a myth-direction.

Mrs T went to get some RATs from the pharmacy, and they refused, saying they are now only available to people who are symptomatic, based on new guidelines with immediate effect.

First I've heard of this. Did I miss some news? Does everyone else know this already?

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
