Glyphosate. We just got sprayed again.
No warning. As usual. These guys have to wear protective gear yet we have no chance to get the kids and the pets inside, shut our windows and know for how long we shouldn't eat anything out of our gardens.
It was windy today.
This was the walkway right by my house.
I asked the contractor what they were spraying and he said "Glyphosate. Your favourite". Clearly I've made a name for myself with the council and their contractors.
That young guy might have had his protective gear but he also had bare legs. He clearly doesn't understand how it crosses the skin barrier. Let's see how cocky he is in a couple of years.
Monsanto was sued for millions for the death of a contractor who died from lymphoma after exposure to this stuff. 3 of my dogs have died from lymphoma. I didn't know the council sprays 4 times a year in the park I ran my dogs.
Let's not forget too that while the councils can douse us in this chemical we can't get tested for exposure to it here in NZ. Or our pets.

"In August 2018, a jury for the Superior Court of California ordered Monsanto to pay $289 million to Dewayne Johnson, a former school district groundskeeper, because of Roundup’s likely role in contributing to his cancer. As a result, the number of glyphosate lawsuits against Monsanto has ballooned to more than 8,700 cases."

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
