This is a more caring way to think about young people exhibiting certain behaviours. Saw it at Sir Edmund Hilary Collegiate today. Nice one guys

“Fiction ruined me for romance” is a valid point but you know what it really ruined me for? Friendship. The biggest lie it ever told me was that I would find a ragtag group of idiots who were my exact brand of weird and we would love each other forever

“We have biweekly meetings.”
Does this mean meetings “occurring every two weeks” or "meetings occurring twice a week”?
Yes.

Landlords want passive income and tell everyone how easy it is (...) but then they’ll say, actually they’re so poor they only have one Tesla. dlvr.it/Sv2hrw

Oncologists know our drug access is poorer than Aus. Heck, I wrote the report.
Also, no one I've spoken to thinks PHARMAC should be bypassed, as has been proposed.
Lift the funding, let them do their job.
(and more Drs and Nurses please)

It's unclear why there is one rule for Covid-19 (namely, that there should be no rules) and one for every other public safety issue.

It's normal to attack and undermine credibility for him. This is the type of prime minister he will be. Vote carefully. Do you really want someone who bullies people who don't agree with him? Because if he does this on radio what does he do when not?

Self-published author appreciation week:
Remember to let authors (especially self-pub/indie) know how much you enjoyed their work!
Many of us feel like we are banging our head into a wall.
Any review/rating/nod of approval/spreading of the word means more than you can know!

Some facts about the surgical prioritisation tool 🧵 First, the new prioritisation tool is actually the 2nd version and it’s a watered down version of the original. The original tool was brought in because of the need to prioritise elective (planned) surgeries during Covid. (1/8)

🧵Kia ora. I've been head-down writing all day, so it took me a minute to catch up with "prioritising Māori for surgery" story. I think it's really an illustration of what's wrong with our media and our politics.

I am literally begging that if you see someone in a mask in a small space with you, instead of saying “do you want me to mask?” Just say “oh let me put a mask on!”
That way it’s courteous and not putting the person masked in a position where they have to say yes
