It's #BirdOfTheYear, Aotearoa! I'm so stoked, I put together this little collage of all the goodies I've designed for so many bird friends over the years. You can snag your faves at pepperraccoon.com, and as always, a portion of sales goes to NZ conservation groups! #Kikorangi #NZBirds #Birds

OKAY, seriously, you've got one week to order one of these Aotearoa Aeternum hoodies featuring 13 extinct native bird skulls and full sleeve art. No extra stock, so if you snooze, ya lose unless I decide to do another run (they're very expensive to produce so 50/50 on that rn). pepperraccoon.com
a very cheesy flatlay with a fire background, showing two sides of the same black hoodie with native bird skull artwork and sleeve illustrations of ivy and bones. one week left, no extra stock

I was getting my flu jab and covid booster yesterday, and found out when you're 45 you're eligible for a free Boostrix vax (tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough). Sharing in case that is useful for anyone else who didn't know!

Happy opening day! Dear Santa, my gifts are waiting patiently for me by my wonky tree for when I get home from work today 🎄💕 #SecretSantaAoNZ
Two red wrapped packages sitting at the base of a Xmas tree. The tree is made from a wooden pallet painted green and decorated with paper baubles, ribbon, and hand made ornaments

We made a 'tree' out of a pallet one year, so we use this if we feel like decorating. We are pretty low key in terms of xmas decorating though #SecretSantaAoNZ

I like a pretty broad range of music, but my heart lies in the 90s - alternative, punk, dance, folk (and even the odd boyband). Dystopian and post-apocalyptic books/tv/movies are my jam. #SecretSantaAoNZ

If you’re against all this anti trans bullshit, you need to speak out. Do it for the kids. So many trans kids frightened right now. Some of them will have loving families, some will not. I think they need to hear your voices. I think that’s important. Just a challenge x

Someone tagged me into this as, in Drach's absence, the person on BlueSky most likely to know (without guessing) how navies handled cat poo. I am VERY offended. But they're also right. 😆 Indeed Drach/Dr Alex and I were comparing notes on this back in November. So thread: How cats shat on ships /1

Probably the least surprising but perhaps still the most egregious / shameless is their net zero claims being 100% "net" and 0% "zero" All these offsets come from questionable projects, too - some worse than others. ketanjoshi.co/2023/10/28/n...
netflix offsets nearly all of their emissions

Just a reminder as you decide who you’re voting for in the next couple of weeks. Kids don’t live in poverty. Their families do. All of them. We don’t ameliorate kids situations unless we are resourcing their FAMILIES.
