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.

Replying to @dbseymour
@dbseymour Taking an access code and giving it to your followers, who represent some of the most privileged people in our society, so that they can take up spaces intended for some of the most marginalised, and do it in the name of equality, is, truly, a dick move.

If you’re a white guy in meetings and the only people agreeing with you are white guys, check yourself. If you’re a white guy in a leadership position and the only people you go to for advice or to bounce ideas off, are white guys, check yourself.

Another thread for the overseas people who are fascinated by New Zealand’s response to Covid-19, Kia ora. It is Day 14, and there already positive signs that we are flattening delta. Level 4 is indeed effective, new daily cases are suppressed. /1 (Graph by @TheSpinoffTV)
