Some good news for a change - our organising worked, a number of councillors changed their minds and this motion was defeated 10-1, with even the councillor that seconded the motion seeing the writing on the wall and voting against it.
Kāpiti Coast District Council are considering a motion at their next meeting that could see them withdraw their declaration of a climate emergency.
I wrote to the Mayor and my Ward and Districtwide councillors this afternoon to ask them to stand strong for the climate and vote this down.

My childhood dream was to host a talkback show on Sports Roundup and to commentator on cricket.

Someone sitting near me on the train is talking about a friend (or child?) called Asher and I'm really not used to hearing people say my name when they're not talking about me eh, it's uncommon enough that it almost never happens.
Involuntarily looking up every time she says it.
Started a new job today. Turns out in addition to the friend/ex-colleague I already knew was in my new team, I have two more ex-colleagues in the team too.
The Wellington public sector comms merry-go-round is too real eh.
