The Nelson Women’s Centre - Te Whare Āwhina Mō Ngā Wāhine Puawai - has been supporting women and their whānau for over 30 years.
They are trying to reinstate their community Social Worker Services in 2025, and are trying to raise $10,000 to do so to cover wages and associated overheads.
They were aiming to meet their goal by the end of February, but sadly, it’s 17th and they’ve only managed to raise $315. I’ll leave the link here in case you’re able to help out.
They’ve managed to secure some external funding to reinstate a social worker! The fundraiser will still go until April however - securing the original funds means that they can extend hours of availability and make a social worker more accessible to more people.
lots of streamers on tt and yt are playing ai simulators and what not. made the mistake of looking in the comments of some dude who was chatting with the ai roommate.
It’s Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this photo of a stream violet (Viola glabella). Then tell someone you know about my work–you can reblog this post, or send it to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours, as well as my forthcoming book, The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go. Here’s where I can be found online:

I can’t tell you guys what it was yet for a variety of reasons, but a massive conservation project in the states has been very suddenly dissolved. I’m so devastated for everyone involved. Genuinely heartbroken today.
edit: this is also the end of a career for a really big scientist and researcher who has contributed so, so much to the field. she’s been a mentor, friend and inspiration to so many. i am considering setting up a little drive to get thank you cards, art, whatever for her, so that is a possibility.
we could be gigantic feral boars who gallop through the forest together & impale people with our tusks in our next lives if we play our cards just right
