@tazyas @Phil_Tanner we are still donating a small weekly amount we can afford at the request of my giftee from the last #SecretSantaAoNZ to Pet Refuge, who provide temporary care to animals that have had to leave homes on account of domestic violence, so that the humans in need of refuge don’t have to stay to keep their pets safe.
@Phil_Tanner May I suggest we promote one cause each with #SecretSantaNZ #SecretSantaAoNZ tags, to help find causes we may not know about to donate to this winter?
I can start. Women's Refuge: Safenight.nz "By donating a $20 Safe Night, you’re providing a woman with a warm bed, a safe, secure place to rest, and the wrap-around support she needs to rebuild her life."
There's a couple of posts over on BlueSky about #SecretSantaNZ, but unfortunately they're locked.
So for those of us over here in the free world, just a heads up that there won't be a #SecretSantaAoNZ this midwinter.
It's a sad situation, but there is unfortunately just not the capacity in the team to run it this time around.
There is a suggestion that people could donate to causes they consider to be worthy instead.
I do casual tech help and help with purchasing the right tech to suit your needs for a koha. Happy to sit down with people and discuss what you need then help you do the upgrade/data transfer etc.
PS: @thesewphist.bsky.social I got one of your wallets and a journal for #SecretSantaAoNZ. Love both, not really a journalling person though so if I don’t find a use for the journal I might regift it and share the love!

Late call for #SecretSantaAoNZ - I finally have a #PeerTube account on https://spectra.video and have uploaded my whimsy-vid to there.

In time, I will migrate the handful of YouTube videos I have over to https://spectra.video as well.
