A message from the #Wellington #MaskBloc:
"We have opened donations again. In the first three months of running out of the Newtown Library, we have distributed over 2000 masks to the public. We would love to continue this amazing service into the new year. Just a $10 donation means we can buy on average 30 masks.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far, this would not have been possible without your support! 💫"

Wellington Mask Bloc

We are Aotearoa Covid Action, a grassroots advocacy group that has risen up in the wake of Aotearoa New Zealand no longer having a credible plan to control the spread of Covid in our schools, workplaces, and wider communities. We are starting a Wellington mask bloc which will be distributed out of Newtown Library.

Duke of #Wellington in Glasgow has traffic cone replaced with statue of pigeon reading a newspaper

The famous traffic cone which sits on top of the Duke of #Wellington statue in #Glasgow’s city centre was swapped for small statue of #pigeon reading the paper

In front of Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art, it infamously has been adorned with a traffic cone for last 40 years

On Monday, the Duke was sporting a brand new addition

Photo from behind the statue of the Duke of Wellington in front of Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art.

For over 40 years the Duke has sported a traffic cone on his head. The traffic cone was replaced with a new one, many times of a different design.

This photo, looking from behind the Duke shows the traditional traffic cone replaced with a pigeon reading a newspaper (titled 'Droppping') and wearing a pigeon sized traffic cone.

a bird nestled tight in the branches of a pōhutukawa tree. surrounding leaves are glossy green, with bunches of closed white blossom buds.

the blossom is on the cusp of bursting into the bright red pōhutukawa blossoms that signals the beginning of summer in Aotearoa. — a bird nestled tight in the branches of a pōhutukawa tree. surrounding leaves are glossy green, with bunches of closed white blossom buds. the blossom is on the cusp of bursting into the bright red pōhutukawa blossoms that signals the beginning of summer in Aotearoa.

Anyone in #Wellington want a b/w laser printer?

Saved this Brother HL-L1230W from the tip - it needed a clean of the drum and works perfectly fine now. Comes with a spare unopened TN1070 toner cartridge.
Works fine via usb, no need to put on a WiFi.

This seems important.

Wellington Hospital's sole gynaeoncologist left the service in November 2024 and is not being replaced.

This means women with gynaecological cancer from Wellington, Hutt Valley, Wairarapa, MidCentral, Whanganui, Taranaki and Hawke's Bay will have to travel to either Auckland or Christchurch to receive any gynaecological oncology surgery over "the next four to five years."

Health New Zealand claims it's "consolidating its services". I guess that's another way of saying 'cost cutting'.
