It’s nuts the crap people believe about me. Someone even thinks I leafleted schools to scare boys into getting vaccinated! That may just sound silly, but misinformation and disinformation like this means some people want me and others like me jailed or even dead. It’s heartbreaking.
Screenshots of comments left on Facebook. Comment one reads: "She's a fat pinked haired freak show, imagine that fat cun+ giving out health advice". Comment two reads: "You are an absolute nutjob!!! And YOU should be un prison!!! And you are a LIAR, and a attention seeker, You should be embarrassed and ashamed of yourself!!! NOBODY GIVE THIS WITCH MONEY !!! SHE IS A LIAR !!" Comment three reads; "Fuck off bitch, fuck what u think". Comment four reads: "You're a joke hopefully we get covid tribunals soon
Seems to me like you were wrong along, and worst still, you KNEW you were wrong yet you were blindly guided by the "science" of Comrade Jacinda. You need to be held accountable". Comment five reads: "You don't deserve a cent. From anyone. Our corrupt politicians stupidly gave you a public platform to spew your garbage. You lied to the country about covid, deaths, cases, lockdowns, masks, social distancing and safe and effective vaccines. You lied, people died. And you gaslit those good people bravely standing up and telling the truth. You and your woke lying mates created the fear and confusion amongst our people. You should be tried, charged and jailed for the damage you have done". Comment six reads: "Hope you're absolutely bankrupt evil pink-haired lying witch". Comment seven reads: "how much money did you make from all those media appearances during covid?? Surely enough to cover your legal fees????". Comment eight reads: "You're a fat pinked haired hack". The final comment reads: "So are school boys still able to ejaculate after getting covid (thinking face emoji) you said they would not be able to in the leaflets you distributed to schools?? you should be the one being sued for your bullshit information during Covid, you made millions of public money telling lies you sick twat".

I thought everyone could use some good news! My conservation friends' nesting box survived Wellington's wild storm perfectly and a Ruru (tiny owl) sheltered in it. Then one started making a nest! There's a camera inside now, too. The feeds aren't public but here's how they're doing.

How to make an Aura mask MRI safe: - carefully cut open top layer above aluminium strip and pry off - insert 3d printed plastic replacement - close pull and sew close - remove staples and existing straps - sew cloth bungee straps on instead #wearAMask #CovidIsNotOver #CleanAir #maskUp
Top view of an Aura mask with a visible long cut along where normally the metal strip sits over the nose bridge. An orange strip shines through the filter material instead and along its length has been sowed close using black thread. Thin orange 3d printed plastic strip in shape of a mask's nose bridge on a white paper sheet. It's got an few rough edges along the top side that need sanding.

Even before covid, the illnesses we got when our kids started childcare was rough. And then covid hit and we add that to the mix. Imagine caring about kids, their whānau, and teachers enough to keep the air clean. Doesn’t fix everything but would go a long way.

New batch of classroom co2 monitors just landed #CleanAir #CovidIsNotOver #CovidNZ #co2monitor
A number of small square pcbs arranged in a 8x3 pattern on a blue cutting mat. Each board has a esp32-s3 module, scd4x co2 sensors in a small metal case, 4 neopixel leds, a usb c connector and a bunch of smaller components. A larger display footprint is not populated. The second board from the left in the middle row is rotated 90 degrees clockwise while all others are oriented the same way. Slightly closer shot of the pcbs now with a small oled display soldered on each one. One co2 monitor in a 3d printed white case with a transparent acrylic front panel. The 4 leds (one in each corner) are lit up orange and the display shows 737ppm.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green is jumping into the air, agitated and prickly, screaming into the void.
Green: If hope is not joy, then rage it shall be! I did not ask to be born, I will not ask for permission to live! I will cling to hope by rage alone, for the void below has killed before, and it can kill again!

Blue appears on the scene, looking confused. He is sitting down, behind Green's back. It is unclear how long he has been sitting there listening. Green turns around to look over his shoulder to look at Blue as he talks.
Blue: ...Can I ask what you are doing?
Green: My daily affirmations.

I found myself thinking about this Timothy Snyder quote this morning when I read about MFAT removing te reo Māori from some of its templates after the election
A page of a book that reads:
Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who offers themselves in this way is teaching power what it can do.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is complaining about his job, inaudible because Green is not paying attention. Green has his eyes closed, meditating instead.
Green: I must not suggest solutions. Solutions are the vent-killer. I will face the vent. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has passed, I will see its path, and there will be nothing. Only we will remain.

Blue has reached the end of his string of complaints, looking at Green with a frown as he finishes. Green looks at him, deeply focused.
Blue: ...And that is why my job sucks.
Green: Yes.
