I've finally taken the time to try making my own enzyme-powered oat milk, aka ran out of milk and was too unorganised to go/send s.o to the store before it closed.
@HeatherInNZ I'm happy to report that the milk turned out quite well. Didn't fool my youngest who has a very sensitive palate (even though I cheekily filled it into the store-bought bottle to avoid bias 😉) but my other kid liked it. May need to add oil and lecithin to make it froth though.

Today is the last day to submit on the consultation on safety measures for the use of puberty blockers in young people with gender-related health needs!
If you haven't done so already, please make a submission. No one's healthcare access should be up for public consultation. It's a political hit job! Transgender kids should have the same access to hormone treatment as cisgender kids.
Excellent guide to complete the online form or email.

I just put on a scarf and made myself a hot chocolate so I don't have to turn on the heat pump. 😭 It's supposed to be the height of summer!
I demand a refund!

Now that the Christmas frenzy is over, I've finally found the time to write my submission on the Treaty Principles Bill.
Have you done yours yet? You have until 7 January and there's no better time to do it than right now. 😉
You can find a handy guide here https://togetherfortetiriti.nz/make-a-submission/
but most importantly, just say you oppose it. If you can, make it personal. You don't have to write much.

Please boost! Petition to keep Estradot HRT patches funded. 50% of Aotearoa's population will be going through #perimenopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy is often the only way to keep our sanity, and live a healthy and fulfilled life thoughout that period which can last a decade or longer.
Estradiol is a far less effective patch that many can’t use or have used and experienced worse debilitating symptoms from them. This is both dangerous and crippling.

I was a bit sad that while I was at the hīkoi, I didn't see any of the action at pāremata and didn't hear any of the kōrero. Watching the footage and commentary tonight, I realised that I was exactly where I needed to be as #TangataTiriti: showing support on the fringes and giving Māori the space to express their mana and have their voices heard on the main stage.

I can hardly find the words to describe today's experience in participating in the hīkoi. It's been exciting to see so many people show up to support Māori and tino rangatiratanga. It's been emotional to be allowed to be part of this movement as tauiwi. It's been heartening to see such a diverse group of people united against a bill trying to cause division among us.
I'm a very proud kiwi today. :tinoflag:

People started leaving Waitangi Park at 10.15am. We're still on Lambton Quay and have slowed down. Not sure I'll even see pāremata.

The kid caught a large spider at school but the description of their enclosure left me with doubt whether the spider would survive the downpour expected over the long weekend. So this morning, we went to rehome it. Let me introduce you to "Big Juicy". I think the name is well deserved! We think it's a female black tunnelweb spider. Can anyone confirm this?
Also, do they eat dry mealworms?
We made a nice terrarium for it and will probably release after the weekend.

Aotearoa, are you ready to #FightBackTogether tomorrow?
I finished my posters and got my mask ready! Remember, airborne transmission is possible outdoors, especially if you are in a crowd, and there's shouting and singing. If we want to win this fight, we need you all as fit and healthy as possible! 🫶
Hope to see you out there, Pōneke! Āpōpō!
