@bigblen Like @EmPenTen, I've been using #AotearoaNZ, although perhaps #Aotearoa #NZ is better as a pair. #AoNZ seems a bit opaque for most non-NZers.

@bigblen I like #AoNZ.

@bigblen #AoNZ covers both without using too many characters

#AoNZ peeps - can you suggest a good newspaper for daily consumption? i’m trying to decide whether to keep my #NZHerald subscription or look elsewhere.

just looking for something less conservative, really.

welp, after 2.5 years (the last 1.5 in #AoNZ), #covid has finally come a-knocking. partner’s having a rough go of it atm, with it aggravating his asthma and causing noticeable brain-fog.

grateful to be living in a country that still requires #isolation for positive cases, though - there’s no pressure for him to return to work ASAP.

also grateful for his #APAP, as it helps with the labored breathing. still worried, though. this is a nasty disease.
