we all know adult humans dont get enough enrichment but the other day i was walkin home past an empty playground and impulsively ran over to spin myself on this zipline merry-go-round contraption for a few minutes and it really did feel like it unlocked some neglected part of my brain. like damn we really should all go outside and play more. fuck. they werent kidding with this play time thing. have you guys heard about play time. it could be huge.
"I don't want to be on meds for the rest of my life" couldn't be me. I will offer to personally suck off any team of scientists that manages to come up with a singular new medication for my condition that works and has no side effects I can't live with.
Hello! I don't know many other kiwis online, but I am trying my hardest to spread this cause around.
To anyone from Aotearoa reading this. Please, sign this petition, and share this cause with your followers. Thank you.
A mining company, Bathurst, wants to turn Denniston Plateau into a giant open-cast mine. The nearby Stockton mine is pictured below.
Denniston is home to incredible ecology found nowhere else. Tiny plants. Fossils. Ancient sandstone landscapes. Odd-coloured geckos, flatworms, kiwi, fernbirds, peripatus, and the infamous Avatar Moth.
If this plan goes ahead, they are all lost forever. Along with any chance for study or scientific advancement.
It will also poison major waterways. Runoff from the nearby Stockton mine can, quite literally, dissolve a car.
The money is flowing into the pockets of overseas investors, and they are mainly employing overseas workers. This plan will not 'strengthen the nz economy'. It will weaken tourism, worsen our climate, and make the town of Westport even more dependent on Bathurst.
This mine will cost Aotearoa far, far more than what Bathurst pays us. The human cost, and the environmental cost, is even worse.
Denniston is on stewardship land. This mine will set a dangerous precedent for all protected spaces.
Bathurst proposed this plan a decade ago. (They are now appealing under the fast-track bill.) We beat them before, and we will beat them again!
Anyone in Aotearoa, please, sign this petition. Every signature helps.

was visiting a friend who has a farm, and one of the chickens has a home made flared cone on, so i asked what was up with that and she said "that's diesel, and she's suicidal" so obviously i went ??? and she pressed the door lock on her truck fob so the truck beeped, and this dumbass bird SPRINTED full tilt across the garden to shove her head in the tailpipe. she has to be locked up and coned so she doesn't gulp down toxic fumes direct from the pipe for some idiot bird reason. she is obsessed with doing this and has to be locked up any time someone is using a vehicle.
i told her i posted about this and she has an update (which i guess content warning for animal harm [the animal did it to it's damn fool self])
she found this out the first time when she auto-started her truck to warm it up before work one below-freezing morning and came out ~5 minutes later to find (the then unnamed) diesel with her head stuffed in the tail pipe hanging limply by her idiot neck and thought that she was dead, ran over and pulled her out, and the chicken went "oh hi! anyways mind if i get back in there?" and did it a-fucking-gain??
best guess is bc she feeds her chickens with a pvc gravity pipe like this
and despite having ~40 other chickens who don't fuck this up, diesel went "food comes from tubes, this is tube, ∴ this is the ~secret~ food hole that the others do not know about. i will be rewarded with golden seed for being the cleverest of them all :)" and is now on 24/7 vehicle related suicide watch. fine line between docile and dumb sometimes.
