This is actually another awesome (but often overlooked) thing about #secretsantanz2022 - it brings all the loveliest, kindest most interesting people to the surface where it’s easy to follow them, adding a little extra fun and joy into this weird & wonderful thing called twitter!

Wow, Santa really doesn’t mess around, my #SecretSantaNZ2022 gift already arrived this morning! Now the long, agonising wait until I’m allowed to open it…

Kia Ora #SecretSantaNZ2022 I love nature, reading, plants, cooking, writing, hiking, gardening, learning, the beach, native plants, arts and crafts, camping and doggos. I’m always appreciative of a good book, anything creative, handmade or a second hand taonga 🙏💚

I’m also a giant child and LOVE Lego, a big science nerd, and all about anything that supports local artists, creatives, musicians or film makers.

Easily the best game of rugby I’ve ever watched in my life. Proud of the Black Ferns, great home win for NZ, but England played an epic game too - hard to believe they all have full time jobs alongside their rugby careers 🤯 Fund womens rugby! #RugbyWorldCup #BlackFerns

We watched The Truman Show with my 11yo stepdaughter and it really got her deep. After thinking about it for a while, she said “It’s amazing that after all of that, after he escaped, @JimCarrey still chose to be an actor and then made Ace Ventura and The Mask”

Remember the outrage of #turnardern? Well, may I introduce you to #burningbridges - Looking forward to all the grumpy old men of #national being equally livid about one of their own shirking their very important responsibilities to waste time giving magazine interviews… #nzpol

Who would have known that all it takes to align the views of all major political parties in Aotearoa is for a bunch of completely feral, shit flinging, acid spraying, child endangering, conspiracy spreading, covid riddled f*ckwits to set fire to a childrens playground?
So, tomorrow, I can go to the mall, or the zoo, or the library, alongside hundreds of other strangers, and that’s fine. But I can’t stay overnight in the bush (still in AKL) by myself, in my campervan? That’s too high risk? Ok cool.

whenever i'm having a bad day i remember that children practice reading books to shelter dogs to help comfort them and reduce their anxiety therefore increasing their chances to get adopted down the line

More adults should climb trees. No one will stop you. You can have your lunch up there. It's not illegal.

if you're having a bad day, this guy my friend knows carries a teabag in his wallet instead of a condom because he says it's more likely that he's going to need a cup of tea than have sex, so at least you're not him

Be known for kindness, for showing up, for empathy, for acknowledging your own toxic traits & loving selflessly. Remember to extend grace because we're all just walking each other home.

The amount of judgement on Twitter lately is awful. Sure, it’s easier to judge others than to try and empathise or understand, and it might make us feel good for a moment, but it is never helpful. Regardless of your views or opinions, it only creates more division and hurt.

And yes, you absolutely can call out shitty behaviour or harmful speech, question misinformation, & have healthy debates with those you disagree with without judging them on their politics, weight, gender, age, wealth, ethnicity, privilege, or anything else. We’re all human.
