Anyone else find it really patronising of the government to talk to us about the budget like we are kids? ‘Lolly scramble’, ‘tough love’, ‘adult’ budget.. there’s nothing childish about wanting a responsible budget where we care for our poorest and everyone has a secure home.
4yrs, feels like I got off lightly but I had 4 pregnancies, breastfeed all 4 kids for over 10 months each and a hysterectomy at 35.

Ms N made me a logo, she does Visual imaging at school so her skill set was much more suited to the job than mine was. Pink cos my fave colour and a pansy cos it’s my Mum’s fave and was my Grandma’s too and they taught me to sew.

Craft geeks, looking at cricut machines to cut lycra fabrics do I need the maker 4 or will the maker 3 be just fine?
The amplification of domestic violence and coercive control due to the additional stress our government is now putting on families is not acceptable. Even prior to current changes it was extremely difficult. A catch 22. "We can't help you until you are at another address" "I can't get another

After feeling crap today over govt rubbish I am catching up on The great British sewing bee. Only seen first 2 episodes this season so I need to get watching it
The fact that Seymour is announcing the decision is chilling because a basic foundation of Pharmac’s integrity and success is its independence and commitment to evidence-based decisions. Politicians should not be deciding which medicines get funded, or who should get access to them.
Last time I restocked these little friends, they sold out the same day, and it took 10 days to restock. Restocked again, as of now, in case you missed out! pocomoto.co.nz/product/duck...

Sarah Pallett@sarah4ilam.bsky.social · 3y ago🧵Little thread on how to effectively advocate for issues in Parliament 1. Email your MP. This will always generate a response. 2. Get your local buddies who share an MP to write to the same MP. Three emails on the same subject will always get attention. 3. Don’t write via snail mail…

National’s public housing reform ‘cuts costs’ at the expense of our most vulnerable. The Green Party is warning that the Government’s changes to public housing will see more public housing tenants evicted and driven deeper into poverty.
No Nicola people in social housing have not won Lotto. What kind of hard hearted moron are you? They are people who are amongst our most vulnerable. This is just a charlatan move by this government to further line landlords pockets. The answer for those struggling in private is more social housing.
I dressed very similar to this in the 1990’s and I definitely was raging against the government then much like I am now.
National are about to fuck up another generation of Kiwi kids. I know they love fucking exams. I hated them. There's absolutely no scenario in the world where you have to sit down for 2-3 hours and answer question expertly on a single subject outside of exams. They test the ability to take exams.
