Required run rate over 14… thinking that’s pretty tough to come back from

You want to talk about "unfairness in women's sports"? Fine. Let's talk about the income discrepancies between men's and women's sports then. *That's* the main source of unfairness, and it has sweet fuck-all to do with trans people.

Nice wicket. Might keep watching. The only international t20 I have been to was West Indies vs NZ at “jade Stadium”. It was some time ago.

Nice last ball of the over. Fingers crossed they can bowl the West Indies out.

Govt doesn’t care much

Am quite over the reporting that implies the girl was consenting when she wasn’t.

What if (stay with me here) we replaced the phrase The Treaty of Waitangi with say women's rights. Remove the need to uphold women's rights in Education Health Politics That would be absurd. No one would dare (unless it's the US); a backward step. Women's rights or Te Tiriti removal? Same take

I asked and I received. Excellent stuff.

We have mediocre men who fall upwards on our council and this years new lot are even worse.

Luxon has become the default face for toxic landlords on left-wing pages across the world. This one's from Germany 😆😂

Excellent thread about Parihaka, which is far more fitting reason to remember remember the 5th of November.

Really glad I took some time to run some tests this morning before announcing that there's 15% off Kat's Nip and Fluffy Ball catnip toys until November 30! Help me sell the last of my stock before the next harvest starts! katsnip.nz

From what I understood the Teaching Council is an independent body from Govt and Ministry of Education. So why are govt paying teachers registration and now gutting the council and putting Ministry of Education people on the council. Is it not supposed to be independent of govt anymore?

Women are not safe. 92% of female homicide victims were killed by a man. 1 in 2 SAs are carried out by a partner/ex. The systemic failures and misogyny leading to these horrendously high numbers must be tackled. No one is free until everyone is.

Elizabeth Rata is *at best* a crank and the fact that Minister Stanford gave her so much influence is malpractice.

Struggling a bit lately, not much motivation and certainly no energy for dealing with people or drama. Brain fog is so high I forgot to take my ADHD meds yesterday. Joint pain is so high I am taking pain relief regularly. Hoping it’s not a flare but from HRT not working. #faultypatches

Dolly Parton releases “9 to 5” 45 yrs ago today. “I knew what it was like to be a working woman trying to make a decent living, trying to be taken seriously. .. I wanted a song that sounded playful on the surface but spoke to that frustration .. A song about women .. saying, ‘We deserve better.’”

Let's be clear: the removal of Te Tiriti from the Education and Training Act is an attack on the human rights of every child in every school.

Bloody hell. So wrong and so proud of himself. Utter bastard.

Bigger busted bra wearers, where are we buying bras that don’t break the bank? And don’t give bad boobs shape?

what if... hear me out... we made uni free AND did the cgt?

National so far this term: Getting to your meeting 30 seconds quicker is a higher priority than protecting kids from cars on their way to school Keeping school attendance up is a higher priority than protecting kids from measles Saving a few bucks is a higher priority than a decent lunch

I helped a person sell some skating stuff and she made me this. It’s amazing.

Autism NZ has been given permission to open 2 Autism Charter schools. I have ND teens/adult children and I have big issues with this. Maybe we wouldn’t need this sort of thing if the public system was properly funded and supported to look after our kids.

#NZ There’s a national immunisation week starting on Monday aims to raise vaccination rates For measles we need a 95% coverage. Currently it’s - 76.4% of all 2-year-olds - 70.4% of Pacific 2-year-olds - 63.3% of Māori toddlers - 1 in 3 kids who catch it are hospitalised. Some will have brain damage

Got an emergency alert on our phones to stay inside and shut windows etc.

Set up charters schools… not a fan.Take over state schools…. Hell no

Man that talked constantly about Michael Woods shares for weeks gets all wet and whiny about his finances being talked about. Labour should also be raising his rates dodge as well

Currently sewing on sequins.

If any teachers would like to share their thoughts on the draft social sciences curriculum through my newsletter send me a DM.

Give a little if you can, please share if you can't, do both if you're extra awesome, and let's see if we can help Beckie get more than her two front teeth for Christmas (showing my age with that reference). She's good people and deserves some love. Ngā mihi, G givealittle.co.nz/cause/beckie...

The new curriculum is cooked. It treats teaching like it's just standing at the front of the class making kids learn an endless series of facts for 6 hrs a day. The science lists of bullet points all end w a dead western scientist they (presumably) need to learn abt & cram for an assessment. Cooked.

HRT is awesome when it’s working but right now mine isn’t. Had a faulty batch of patches and it’s making life miserable. Started new box yesterday and hoping things improve.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Absolute last call for tea towel pre-orders, I’ll be flicking the switch at noon. This is your best chance to order in time for Christmas, especially if you want them in time to post as gifts.

Kārearea tees have been continuing to go really quickly, I’m down to very low numbers in a bunch of sizes so I’m placing a re-order! We’ve donated $500+ to Forest and Bird this month 💜

Hey fam, just a reminder that using Afterpay with small businesses costs us a LOT in fees (about 8-10%). Totally fine to use it, that’s why I have it, but also, if you can do it with larger businesses and not with us little guys, it makes a huge difference to our bottom line over time x
