@five15design Lol first time I've been on here in months... just needed to take a look at this sh*tshow

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@banquotrilogy @serenity22 But the holistic, systems-focused and multi-generational understanding of te taiao is EXACTLY what we need to understand and adapt to climate change!!

@MIKendrick94 @Komaniecki_R As another social science academic I would say 'absolutely'

@Paris2024 @Olympics @StadeFrance I can't imagine a world map without Aotearoa New Zealand on it... oh yeah I can 🙄 finished 11th on medal table but still not worth including?

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@five15design No he didn't

@317_Enter Stop it. A family has lost a son.

You do realise that covid itself leads to all sorts of long term complications and issues too? Much more so than any vaccine.

@8DrongoMedia8 @SquidgeRugby Don't bring your conspiracy theories here

@KiwiCraig74 @BeeFaerie I'm amazed anyone is still here... I only came on today to check out the Kelowna bushfire updates

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

Came back on here to promote another of Ella's surveys. This one is for Yr12 PSYC.

I've done it and it is quite fun and takes less than five minutes. Would be great if you could share it too 😁 https://t.co/E2WAKkk1rE

I've avoided the bird site since Secret Santa but coming back on with one of Ella's surveys on her request.
This time for Year 12 PSYC on the Halo Effect. I've just done it and it is fun and takes < 5 mins. Great if you could share:https://t.co/E2WAKkk1rE

@sophie__mcinnes @banquotrilogy Oh that one looks good! 😉

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@sophie__mcinnes @banquotrilogy They were lovely dessert thingys ... and there were some interesting posters too 😁

@nickbakernz While I'm sure Brexit hasn't helped, weather conditions in Southern Europe & a cut in greenhouse grown salad to reduce carbon emissions seems the main causes? Perhaps the Brits need to start seasonal eating? I don't eat tomatoes between April & Nov. Then live on them Jan to Mar.

@StrayDogNZ @drayeshaverrall Held off on getting the booster I became eligible for 31 Jan (6 month since having covid) in the hope of this happening. Would rather wait a few months to ensure I get a booster with more efficacy

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@saycheeselouise @urbantui One of them on a daily basis. Another two regularly.

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@BMHayward Go well with this! I was talking with Ilan about the tourism economics yesterday (and saw James today too :) )

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@AliceHi54567183 @Moce_Doce Torrent too strong for safe boat rescue and too windy for helicopters. But should have been out at first sign of problems

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@DylanReeve It goes to show that if you are an old white business dude with little else going for you many people will still give you their vote.

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@AlTaylorNZ @sophie__mcinnes That's just crazy talk! 😉

[Dr Jo Fountain @JoFountain2]

@InaBeeK Apparently he was playing tennis?
