Overseas Voting in the New Zealand General Election begins September 27th.

I have a goal. I literally want to be the first person to cast my vote, digitally signed with a witness, as soon as ballot papers are available.

I am in the electorate of Dunedin, and I plan to vote two ticks Green this election.

Francisco Hernandez is the candidate for Dunedin I most support, and the Greens have earned my trust and vote through their mahi.

Good luck and vote!

TIL pepper spray is illegal in NZ. Does this mean that only criminals have pepper spray?

CPU fan, free to any home pick-up Palmy, or P&P at your expense. Never got installed as I upgraded to the mother of all cooling systems prior to pc being built. #NZTwits #NZToots

PSA: If you get a phone call from 027 330 0316 claiming to be Spark. It’s a scam. Just had Jennifer claim my phone number was the account holder of a spark internet account. Hahahaha #ScamAlert #NZTwits #NZToots

#Wellington any recommendation on a library with a good selection of graphic novels? #nztwits #nz

Ngā mihi o te tau hou. Happy New Year! I'm off my "holiday" from SM.

Well, we had a great break, I got some of the funding for both my volunteer community projects - the new #CentralAndWesternArchive computer arrived and is set up and now the new scanner has come in the post and is waiting to be picked up Monday, so lots of excitement here, many thanks to the Tūātapere TeWaeWae Community Board for their funding our new equipment.

Good morning tooters

A rainy Monday morning to start the week here. But going to be a great day none the less.

My van goes in for its tow bar this morning. Looking forward to being able to put the bike track on it.

I hope you all have a fabulous day, what ever you’re doing today. #NZToots #NZTwits

New Zealand is beautiful, everything seems to work better than in other places and people are kind. I'm wondering if this feeling of "missing home" is really getting a hard time connecting with the community here or the poor sleep I have because having to get up very early hours for meetings in the UTC timezone. Do other people here living in NZ also have very bad working hours? How do you deal with it? #nztwits #wellington #newzealand

Going to be down in The Square in Palmerston North from 7pm til 9ish with the PN Knights Lightsaber group. If you’re around the area come say hi and see what we get up-to with Lightsabers. Will try to get some dueling in too. #PNKnights #Lightsaber #Lightsabers #NZLightsaberGuild #NZLG #NZTwits #NZToots #StarWars #Palmy #PalmerstonNorth

What a week! Got the fundraising promotions calendar's done though, thank goodness and huge kia ora to #NZTwits and #Aotearoadons who helped with suggestions. Managed to get the wrong size card cut down & print, then re-order more correct size card from Gordon Harris, although more expensive.

If anyone would like to purchase to help support our 150th and the early history project book, please let me know. $20 each plus $6.50 cost of postage within NZ. For overseas I need to do a quote first.

Good morning friends of mastodon.

I hope your Monday is fabulous and full of joyful moments.

I'm going to say it. The #Whittakers 54 flavour review has to be clickbait. How on Earth can all the best flavours be in the 20's and 30's while sandwiched between a dross of kiddy flavours? I mean c'mon Coconut Block as number 1???

So, I'd been put in charge of making the Fundraising Calendars for our 150th Celebrations at Ōtautau, to be sold at the town street party 9th December, but there was no A3 card in any of the usual stores, so we attempted an online purchase of some through TradeMe, only to find the A3 card was NOT A3, but 320x450, so too big for printer... They need printing before next Friday!! Ideas where to buy Cardstock from urgently in Aotearoa NZ??

Ongoing project Mapping the Sāmoa Collections aims to learn more about the measina Sāmoa in #TePapas collection and make them more accessible to communities. As part of the project, research assistant Alexander Gordon has been tasked with making a glossary of Sāmoan vocabulary:
"In the Sāmoa collections at Te Papa there are nearly 850 to‘i – adzes or axes – more than any other object." Read more in the blog post below: https://blog.tepapa.govt.nz/2022/11/25/mapping-the-samoa-collections-how-do-you-say-adze-in-samoan/?mc_cid=664f55715f&mc_eid=9039eefe18
