So I live in New Zealand now and as an Australian citizen this makes me a NZ resident which doesn’t really entitle you to much except you can work and live here indefinitely without needing a visa, no benefits, but hey, that’s fine and understandable, I haven’t paid taxes aside from whatever I pay when I buy food or petrol.

So I have fuck all money and I’m trying to avoid getting pregnant without having to opt for celibacy. Condoms cost about $15 a pack of 12. Pretty pricey. So I look into going to family planning, costs like $23 for an appointment and $15 or more for a script for the pill and $3 for a pack of 12 condoms that you still can’t get without booking an appointment.

But lo and behold! Free maternity care for all NZ residents!? So kind!

So I can’t afford to go to family planning.

I find out there’s a free sexual health clinic. I go there and get 12 free condoms on the spot and a $3 prescription for 144 condoms.

So they’re afraid of you spreading horrible nasty cooty germs, free condoms for you! You don’t even need to book an appointment!

And if you wanna have a baby, free healthcare for you!

But if you are one of those nasty bitches who wants to have sex and not get pregnant YOU GOTTA PAY!

Obviously, I blame the patriarchy.

Yes, where?

Guess where I LIVE RIGHT NOW?!

I travelled through space and time at the rate of approximately 60 seconds per/minute from Cheshire, England to Christchurch, New Zealand. All in all it took about 30 hours. I’m covered in bruises… bed sores?

All anyone talks about is earthquakes. I wonder what we’d be talking about if we didn’t have earthquakes to talk about.

The city is mostly closed or damaged or being demolished. I’m telling you all this because I had to sell my camera to finance this trip.

We’re going to move to Auckland.

I just thought about this tonight. Maybe I should look for friends on the internet!
Allo! I’m moving to Christchurch, New Zealand in a few days.

I’m looking for some friends in the early 20’s to early 30’s range. My hobbies include going to second hand shops, advanced patriarchy blaming, applying/wearing make up, jokes, shoplifting, not eating meat, reading and discussing comic books and lots, lots more!

Let’s hang out!

I’m gonna still put thinspro and cutting in my tags cuz I’m open minded to an anorexic/cutter friend but I’m gonna leave porn out cuz, not being funny but I’d rather you didn’t, I’m radical!
