I'm a queer/bi comic crime/SFF author (under the name George Penney) and I'm also a best-selling Rom Com writer (under Evie Snow) and a PhD escapee. I have two podcasts called Bohemiana and My Favourite Monster. I also travel continuously and house sit around the world because I can, and I'm a cultural omnivore who is interested in everything all at once. I GM 2-5 shot DnD 5e games that are fun, silly and set in my OverLondon universe. I like tea and cats, not necessarily in that order.

Hello lovely people: This is a snapshot of my wonderful rainbow community here in Nelson New Zealand.
A friend posted this picture on Facebook today and dealt with some absolute vileness. They stood up to it but shouldn't have had to. And despite the negativity, they're still here, still resilient, still joyful. 🌈❤️
We were gathering to protest against the gender bill going through NZ parliament right now.
If you're a kiwi and you want to help stop this bill, you can fill out a submission by following the link at the bottom of this post.
You don't have to say much, "I oppose this Bill in its entirety" is good enough!
Thank you in advance for your kindness. 🌺😊🪻🌸🌈
And if you've already filled out a submission, just know you're absolutely appreciated and you've done an awesome thing.
(Oh, and as always, much more in the alt text)

9News | 'Far better off': Aussie bosses warn of mass exodus to NZ and USA by 9News
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Australian business leaders warn that the federal government’s decision to scrap the 50 percent capital‑gains‑tax discount will trigger a “mass exodus” of entrepreneurs and investors to New Zealand and the United States, where the tax environment is friendlier. Allan Blood has already shifted his proposed $3 billion coal‑to‑fertiliser plant from Victoria to Southland, NZ, praising the government’s support and even considering listing his company on the NZX. Similarly, Bill Ovenden of The Lad Collective says the change will stifle Australia’s start‑up culture, which has produced firms like Atlassian and Canva, and predicts many founders will relocate to avoid up to 47 percent CGT. Other founders, such as Melbourne’s Matthew Elsey now based in the US, echo the sentiment, noting that the new tax regime makes success in Australia far harder to achieve and could divert billions of dollars offshore.

#NewZealand
New Zealand, which attracts millions of tourists each year with its pristine nature and spectacular landscapes, is facing a legal challenge over "magical thinking" in its climate promises.
After unravelling a string of green policies since it came to power in 2023, the right-leaning government is accused of relying too heavily on unproven future technologies to meet its legally binding carbon emission targets

The katipō (Latrodectus katipo) is a species of cobweb spider found only in New Zealand. It inhabits sand dunes close to the seashore and is found on most of New Zealand's coastline, except for the far south and the West Coast.

While Washington guts every protection that ever restrained a corporation, a Green Party MP in Wellington walks into parliament and says: a whale is a person. The Tohorā Oranga Bill would grant Pacific whales freedom of movement, habitat restoration, protected social structures. 22% of New Zealand's marine mammals face extinction.

NZ$13/TB month seems the average going rate (I am thinking Wasabi's pricing is in USD and is basically the same).
I think initially I don't require more than 100GB initially and #SecureCloud comes in at NZ$3/month for this which seems very reasonable.
