Sure would be nice to do something, anything, to mitigate this increasingly common nightmare.
Long covid can happen to anyone and so far all we're doing as a society is pretending everything is fine and people who struggle are on their own.
How long until we realise that a culture of masking, clean air everywhere, and accessible vaccination, treatment, testing and isolation are preferable to just discarding people like they're disposable?

Every now & again YouTube surprises me by suggesting a vid that turns out to be MUCH better than expected. This was a really well put together 9 minutes, in which the only repeated error was the failure to pronounce kumara the way its is said here in #Aotearoa

(kudos to Masto for having the tino rangtiratanga flag seen in this video as it's emoji for M膩ori. Where I live, it's seen MUCH more widely and often than the NZ flag

I've just seen the movie 'Prime Minister' - I cried and laughed and 'awww-ed' at so many things. Brilliant portrayal of an historic piece of time in New Zealand, and the world.
See it if you can 馃檹

So this shameless #NZPol government has bravely decided that they are not going to do the absolute minimum in meeting its obligations under the Geneva Convention on #Genocide instead bravely stand up to support #Israel #WarCrimes and the genocide of the innocent men, women and children of #Palestine.
I have never been so ashamed to be from #Aotearoa #NewZealand than now as these immoral champions of corruption have sided with the devil.
Brave, brave Sir Winston, he bravely ran away.

Due to high winds, the bridge crossing h墨koi has been postponed.
The new route will be from Aotea Square to Victoria Park, starting at 9:30am.
New date for bridge crossing is still to be announced.
Safety is paramount, but the commitment to humanity, freedom and dignity for Palestine in the face of relentless genocide by the fascist state of Israel remains steadfast.

It would be nice for our government/industry to have some appreciation of the amazing things we might learn and benefit from if we treat it with respect, instead of reckless exploitation for the profit of the few. 馃悪

I don't know how this search works as it doesn't list a few I know like the one in Pukekohe is not listed (See below)
At a glance:
There's a repair cafes where volunteers are repairing something you have brought. There are limits either in the size or number of items you bring. Read the small print etc.
There are also some workshops or group activities that teaches you how to mend your own stuff like sewing or patching etc.
Many of these have been happening on a regular basis, either weekly, fortnightly or monthly. For these what happens at each spot depends on the volunteers that show up and their ability.
The ones in Auckland do publicise their regular happenings on fb. There's also some who list in https://ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events/ or Eventfinda https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/search?q=repair
The search on eventfinda shows regular one of the regular ones in Pukekohe https://www.eventfinda.co.nz/2025/pukekohe-repair-cafe/auckland/pukekohe
Many use social media like fb or instagram to publicise their efforts. I don't know if there's any that use Mastodon
Repair Network Aotearoa also had a hand in trying to introduce the Right to Repair Bill

If you have skills do volunteer to help out at future events.
