👻 Guess these spooky sounds - are they? A. Landslides created by M5.7 Taupō earthquake in 2022  B. Volcanic tremors captured by Te Wai ā-moe (Crater Lake) from Ruapehu unrest in 2021  C. Slow-slip earthquakes recorded offshore of East Cape by ocean bottom seismic sensors in 2014

The Spinoff have come through with a superb bit of reporting on the bizarre and dodgy goings on with the Wellington Live Facebook page. A proper look at the awful behaviour of the new owner which barely scratches the surface from all accounts. thespinoff.co.nz/business/28…

New Zealand does not have an official national earthquake early warning (EEW) system 📱 Research has found the Google Android EEW trial introduced confusion, with people thinking the alerts were coming from @gnsscience & GeoNet. Read the full story here 👇 gns.cri.nz/news/earthquake-e…

PSA: You don't have to justify your spending choices to anyone. If it fits in your budget, and makes you happy, that's enough. The trick is making sure that it ticks both of those boxes. It's your life. There's no point doing money 'right' if it makes you miserable.

How to really enjoy the rain: 1. Stand at the window (inside) 2. Put non-tea drinking hand on hip 3. Sip tea from mug 4. Say “look at that rain” or “it’s really coming down now” 5. Ask someone else if it’s raining where they are 6. Say the garden needs it 7. Eat all the biscuits

1/5 We need your help to keep an eye out for a new-to-New Zealand clam species recently discovered in the Waikato River at Bob’s Landing near Lake Karāpiro. The freshwater gold clam (also known as the Asian clam) is native to eastern Asia.

Replying to @NZcivildefence
@NZcivildefence is asking people to get prepared with significant rainfall expected over the next 2 days. The ground in many parts of NZ is already saturated & with more rain about to arrive comes an increased risk of landslides. Read how to prepare here: geonet.org.nz/news/7iXw4yBat…

“Let women speak!” goes the cry of the anti-trans movement. The mobilisations against Posie Parker in Australia and New Zealand were led by… women! Far more women turned up to the pro-trans rallies than those against. Women spoke. You just didn’t like what they had to say.
