Zephyr Cafe in Tākina chose close for the day in solidarity with our trans whānau during the Inflection Point event, and is now is being bombarded with negative reviews from TERFs/transphobes. If you are able, please leave them a positive Google review and show support 🩵🩷🩵🏳️⚧️
Exactly the same on 16 Feb heading to Melbourne. This time they can’t blame Swifties. We waited in security for 70 mins and then ran to our gate as they were doing final call. There were no calls for our flight while waiting and avsec wouldn’t let us skip. https://t.co/vIg9XDjcw3
@stevebiddle Didn’t have too many problems in Wellington, but the line definitely grew a lot longer after us. They only had one side operating that day too.
The issue is systemic. Either AirNZ needs to extend the time between connecting flights (because we booked all on one ticket) or avsec needs to move people through faster, therefore need more people. I won’t hold my breath for a solution anytime soon.
Our flight from Wellington was delayed slightly. Original time for transfer was 1 hr 40 mins. Reduced to around 80 mins. How we made it, I’ll never know. If AirNZ Wellington crew had not let us off first we wouldn’t have. We were the last people to board.
@pinkdeedle The resident. Also station 19 is basically greys but with firefighters (it’s a spin-off.) But kinda gives me the same feels / satisfaction as watching greys.
Book 24 for advent calendar: The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga. A great one to finish on. Man booker prize winner in 2008. About a driver for the rich and India’s class system.
Book 23 for advent calendar: Fingersmith by Sarah Waters. I had to Google this one cause the blurb did not say much. Wiki says it’s a historical crime novel, while a Goodreads review labels it as lesbian Dickens. 🤔
Omg, everything is so ridiculously cute and I love it. The pink scarf, brilliant. The kitty plate can go on my plate wall! A Christmas pinny (??) that immediately reminded me of my Gran ♥️. And the little decorations are on my tree already. #SecretSantaNZ2022
