Calling all my friends who wish they could live in the city centre but can't afford to! Consider putting in a submission in support of the council's proposal to increase height limits – due by Friday 12 May. I worry that submissions will be dominated by wealthier people who can already afford to live in their suburb of choice.
The quick option is to submit using Generation Zero's tool at https://www.generationzero.org/ccc_pc14 (there's also lots of useful information to consider if you want to write your own submission).
How younger people see Christchurch -- a Sociological perspective
"Christchurch is “Uncle Barry”.
"Christchurch is a white, straight man in his 40s, only high-school educated, racist, sexist, anti-LGBTQi, conservative, who likes to drink beer and is primarily interested in sport."
We're open for business! We still have some gorgeous blazers and heaps of amazing shoes, so let's make this January amazing! 💖
Yesterday's theft was pretty heartbreaking, but we're gonna bounce back stronger than ever. We're closing in early February, but we'll fight like hell to open again later this year!
It would lift our hearts to welcome you through our doors this week. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
If you have a small business, or belong to a group, or are a non-profit and based in New Zealand then we would love to host you in a local instance. Feel free to create and account or migrate to us on https://nzserver.co
I am a doctor-epidemiologist-data-scientist; I teach Epidemiology and Health Sciences at the University of Canterbury at #Christchurch in #NewZealand
I created this server as a small personal experiment for friends to discuss practically anything we like in two languages: English and Bengali. Bengali, in particular, because there is no server dedicated to discuss Bengali language stuff, 🙂
Feel free to discuss but let’s be as civil as we can to each other
** Some notes on using this server **
As you get started, please let us know who you are, so an introduction would be great
Please use content warning CW as appropriate. I tend to use them as post headers or summaries, YMMV
Use hashtags ad lib, 🙂
#Fediverse is large and there are many apps, so you may want to use #Pixelfed for photo and #Peertube for video and share the links here, that way we can connect and keep the instance tidy, just a thought
