sad because we’re not in a position where we can be giving our groceries away, but we do anyway. #foodinsecurity #aonz

Please stop buying Zuru toys for your children (or yourself). Aside from the awful environmental impact they have, you’re also indirectly supporting the ACT Party. #zuru #mowbray #nzpol #act #aonz Via Tee To.

Kia ora all, I've just started a really cool new job at the end of last year as a tutor for Brain Play! We teach STEM subjects to groups of kids, and do 1:1 tutoring of #neurodivergent children too.

I'm AuDHD, so I empathise so much with the kids I get to work with.

Kind of an #ad but I really believe in the cause and am not being paid to share this, so there's that 😉

Theo made the school basketball team for Term 2 and 3. Eek! Just when there’s questions about hypermobility. Argh. #eds #aonz

It has been 15 years since I completed my Masters research. I’m trying to remember if there’s a strategy that helps you construct survey questions in a way that is not leading. Does that make sense? Also, are you allowed to ask hypothetical or nonsensical questions? #helpplease #research #aonz

Would there be a way for bookish Aotearoa-folk to have a “wanted” or “ISO” feed? As in, “I would love to find a tidy copy of Theo & Matilda by Rachel Billington.” Then an agreed hashtag? Thoughts? #aonz #kikorangi #booksky @[email protected]?
