A national state of emergency doesn't mean that all possible natural disasters have to strike at once. Chill #eqnz

Never say that your vote doesn't count.
"We can't afford climate change policies".
When are the economists going to do the maths and start screaming that we cannot afford NOT to address climate change?
Very proud to see @patrickmorgan@mastodon.nz on the cover of Stuff this morning.
You’re so right Patrick, cycling should not have to be a political act in NZ. A simple act that brings so much joy, freedom and economical sense should be celebrated by our governments. #cycling #nz
“Wettest day on record for Auckland”.
“Event was beyond anything we’ve ever seen”.
This is what climate change looks like. Time for action is now.
I don't get the irrational hate for people on bikes in NZ. I am just trying to get to work, and my kids are just trying to get to school.
Do you know what is causing the traffic jam? The other cars on the road.
I hope one day NZ will start moving more people by PT, walking and cycling.
We deserve reliable, frequent and affordable public transport. And people walking and cycling need the protections against traffic hazards.
I’m happy for this nice cozy spot of the internet, but still bitter that Elmo spoiled my pocket friends network. Some moved here, others to BlueSky, Instagram, or they just vanished. :(
History made by the #FootballFerns! So stoked for our first ever World Cup win at the #fifawwc2023. And what a brilliant goal! 🎉
In 10 hours my mum starts her journey across the world (literally) to visit me here in NZ for the first time since COVID started! Can’t wait (and hoping she doesn’t catch it on her journey)! 🎉
Day 1 of school camp finished. My only conclusion is: we don’t pay our teachers enough for the work they do.
Twitter is considering selling inactive usernames to the highest bidder through online auctions. 😡

*taps the mic*, is this on?
I've been quiet here lately as I was enjoying the last few weeks of my mum's visit to NZ.
I hope everyone has kept this place tidy! :)
Biggest achievement of my life is being voted most popular parent/adult at the Year 6 school camp for both my kids (3 years apart). #Winning
MY MUM IS HERE WITH ME!!! ❤️
It took me a second to realise that this interaction was a dig at what the media does/did to Jacinda Ardern and a display of everyday misogyny women face when they are in positions of leadership. Well played.
Given the news about the upcoming cyclone, what have you learned that could've helped you in the previous storm?
Could you please share anything that would be helpful for others? #CycloneGabrielle
