The Italian Chapel Orkney's Italian Chapel was built by Italian prisoners of war during World War Two and has become a lasting symbol of peace in the islands.

Finally something interesting on the tv at the medical centre. A gorgeous Italian church in Scotland, with a very interesting history.

You don’t hear much any more about the raw sewage still pouring into Wellington harbour but it’s up to 2.5 billion litres

An update on the situation of the Iranian women’s soccer team:

-7 accepted humanitarian visas and stayed in Australia
-the rest flew out of Sydney last night
-they can’t land in Iran, so they may be taken elsewhere temporarily or maybe to a nearby country to make a land crossing

A disgusting advert seen this week, of an anime-style woman with green hair and green eyes. There are digital stickers covering sexual material. The byline reads: β€œDesign her. Fuck here. Delete her. Repeat.”

A perfect example of men’s view of women these days.
β€œDesign her. F*** her. Delete her. Repeat.”

striking photo of a black and white tuxedo cat. The entire photo is almost entirely a velvety black except a curving line of white fur and the cat's  gold eye which are illuminated by a sliver of sunbeam.

Fishing night at Scouts.
His first ever catch! 😊 It was teeny-tiny, but he was stoked! (It’s back swimming in the sea.)

This framing of war having a negative impact on the cost of living makes me wanna scream!

That petrol and groceries are the focus over the human cost is so unbearably grim.

I am sick of money being the measure of all worth in this world.

Fuck cost of living, I am worried about cost of lives.

I know they have a couple of eggplant dishes on their menu, but I would say they’d have options in the daily cabinet as well.

Good question! Perhaps they can’t get the recipient on the phone (e.g. often has their phone on flight mode or silent etc.)?

$1100 is a shit ton of money. Period.
Especially when it’s owed to you. That’s just not ok.

@taniawaikatolawyer.bsky.social Please make this a mission of yours - to change the court system’s treatment of sex offenders. It’s such a joke right now.

SOOOO beyond tired of hearing about the pathetic punishments that men get for their sexual crimes. It’s blatantly obvious that the court system in Aotearoa is severely fucked up. This has got to stop. #aonz

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

The Government has a responsibility to ensure that technologies launched from New Zealand soil are not being used to help other countries wage war.

If Rocket Lab launches from Aotearoa are supporting the illegal war on Iran then the Government must be transparent about this.

If someone close to you sent you a text that read: β€œWe need to talk,”
would you respond?
What would you say back?

It’s not the first I’ve heard of patients not getting food or water for days… It’s flipping scary.
