This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record:
- 256 eggs (252 in 2019)
- 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019)
- 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019).
It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Kia ora. Thinking of everyone who’s feeling a bit anxious, especially those affected by extreme weather here and across the country in recent weeks, months and years. It does feel relentless.

Wind is picking up. For the next 24 hours we can still expect very strong winds,

My update on stormwater maintenance and preparation before the storm if you’re interested. There’s a lot that goes on but no it can’t happen everywhere all the time. It’s prioritised based on risk.

With the massive winds expected tonight fellow kiwis, don't forget to close windows. An open window letting high speed wind in can be how you lose a window, or a roof.

NZ Food Network used to just have administrative data from food banks. They could count meals given out, and visits, but they didn't have any real person-based data (despite what some news stories implied)

*This* is a real survey using established food insecurity measures and is a lot more credible

A good friend of mine works at NASA, and has spent the last TEN years of his life working on the Orion CPAS (Capsule Parachute Assembly System), testing it in the deserts of Arizona.

Ten years of design & testing. For this moment.

Science is so good, y'all.

South Korea has proposed a $17 billion supplementary budget to cushion the economic impact of Trump and Netanyahu’s war.

In the package: cash payments of $65-$400 per person to the bottom 70% of earners -about 36 million people.

Let it be known that Katherine Johnson was the reason for the first astronauts in space.

And now Vanessa Wyche, head of the Johnson Space Center and NASA's highest ranking civil servant, is the responsible for the longest manned space flight in history

We were so grateful to launch Night, Ma at the newly opened Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui! Here is Elizabeth Knox reading from the new memoir in front of Earth Mothers, a dazzling rawa by Darcy Nicholas that celebrates the sacred life‑giving power of women. Thank you, Wellington City Libraries!
