Aww Shaneel Lal just came over to introduce themselves at a cafe. Love it when I meet old Twitter buddies in real life. Hate not having an edit function to fix autocorrect.

Yeah I got stung for a couple of grand to get a scan the hospital recommended, GP and specialist referred but not covered by insurance. If the hospital had done it, it would be free.

I sat across the aisle from John Stamos on a flight and at the end went over, sat down and told him I was a huge fan. May have touched his thigh.

We talked to Sam Neill at his vineyard. I gave him a pack of tissues and we discovered he had lived in our apartment as a drama student.

On top of humanities and social sciences being cut from eligibility for the Marsden Fund, changes to 're-balance' the histories curriculum, attacks on the Waitangi Tribunal, etc, it seems clear the government would prefer we remain in ignorance about our history. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

More cuts proposed at Ministry for Culture and Heritage
The axe is hovering over historians and staff who create digital content used by schools and the public.

I just watched a reel where a comedian referred to using a vibrator during sex as ‘calling in a drone strike’. I’m gonna be laughing all day.

Man asks me how much of my healthy income I give to those underpaid in the name of pay equity. I respond with my 7 year pro bono pedigree.

The economic benefit of investment in addressing pay equity models out to a net .3 to 1.5% added to GDP over 4 years. It more than pays for itself if you look at the whole economy. Take it out to 10 years and it’s between 1.5 and 3%.

Sadly, this never goes out of fashion. Just wish I had a Tshirt of this image from the 1980’s. I managed to get it into evidence in the Employment Court during the Bartlett and E Tu v Terranova case by submitting a research paper which featured the image on its cover.

Culturally unsafe healthcare is unsafe healthcare – we cannot pretend otherwise
The government’s proposal to weaken cultural safety in healthcare isn’t neutral – it threatens lives and deepens inequities.

Hospices ‘at risk of disappearing’ without more government money
Changes to pay equity laws area blow to hospices, where at least 35% of the pay for nurses comes from fundraising and donations.
