Hey, folks with #POTS and similar issues here in #Aotearoa #NZ:
What is your preferred #electrolytedrink powder, and from whence do you buy it?

WTF!
What does this mean, will it go to Select Committee and we can all have our proper say on it (again)?
Love / compassion / empathy are English translations of the Māori word aroha.
Question
I've noticed that in Te Reo Māori, a macron is put on the first vowel in "Maori" and "whanau" to indicate it's a plural.
So, is that a correct interpretation?
And does that mean that if I wanted to refer to both Te Ika a Māui and Te Wai Pounamu, the 2 islands, I could say the mōtu? Motu being one island, right?

I've rewritten the conclusion of my paper to show that Brown Skua may need to be downgraded to Nationally Endangered or Nationally Critical if highly pathogenic bird flu hits, based on the data.
So: that's kind of interesting. This paper may actually be useful.

#Kiwis what #book would you recommend that's set in #NewZealand?
One of the #reading #challenges I'm doing has a prompt for a book set in #Aotearoa, and as I don't know much about the literature from down there... I'd be particularly interested in any #books on #Māori culture.
Once again I find myself thinking it would be cool to have a dedicated Mastodon instance which catered to Kiwi (or Australasian) activist orgs and socially responsible not-for-profits. I'm no techo but I'd be willing to contribute to this in other ways (promotion, moderation, money).
I am frustrated by the reliance these orgs often have on Xitter/FB/Insta/Bluesky but I think it would be easier to temp them over here if there was a more obvious place to go.
A sorely overdue hike back into the Tararua ranges, that I am also happily sore from (no leg day for a bit).
We came across a thriving grove of Nīkau, the world's most southern palm. I managed to grab a good snap of one overlooking the river, whose curves we traced.
Will head back deeper into Autumn for an overnighter.
