URGENT: Public consultation on the Arms Act rewrite closes THIS FRIDAY at midnight Feb 28. The Islamic Women’s Council of NZ & I personally oppose these changes. We fought hard for strong firearm regulations after 15 March Terrorist Attacks. We must speak up now. 🧵1/7 #GunControlSoNeeded

It is 28.5 in Invercargill right now. Being outside at all feels like being smothered by a very warm blanket. 0/10.

I am eating a toasted cheese sandwich, drinking an ice cold Pepsi and watching Poirot on YouTube. Basically living my best life.

More progress

Son of mine: comes into the living room and complains that it’s cold. I have the air con on as it’s 20 degrees at 8.30. So I switch it off… and he leaves the room. 🤔

First 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 read of the year - Radiance by @catvalente.bsky.social It is astonishing and I was thisclose to just flipping back to the start and reading it again straight away. I haven’t had that impulse since the first time I read Station Eleven, which is the book of my soul. 📚💙 #booksky
