Kia ora @kasiazoe.bsky.social Have you come across any good vegetarian or vegan stock powder (no MSG) on your travels? The one I've been using for 30 years is no longer available, and I'm gutted. R.I.P Rapunzel.

Under-representation is one reason for Māori wards Despite signing Te Tiriti for the rohe known as Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Only one uri of the rangatira of Te Āti Awa has ever made it to Council’s top table 185 years after my tūpuna signed. And 155 years of local govt. I’m standing to be the second

Ōtautahi - if anyone knows of anti-trans FB groups or other media platforms where a recording might be uploaded to harass allies please could you dm me? Thank you!

Heeeeey. Sorry if it's already been said, but with the UK (even though they've been acting like fascists), Canada and Australia now formally recognising Palestine, where does that leave #LilAmerika, NZ? Do we still have to wait for what Peters says at the U.N? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Good to know.

@ponekeben.bsky.social and @andrewlittlenz.bsky.social. Sorry you are getting hounded by the Bitter Wellington crew this weekend on the faceblabs. I may have put the boot in with them but I am done with being polite to abusive fools spreading lies.

Are you having a Saturday night in? Can I suggest Aro Vision as your local, non corporate source of movie entertainment? Every interesting, non commercial movie you could want, including lots of NZ content. This one has been my fave movie this year. Head South. www.nzonscreen.com/title/head-s...

Happy Suffrage Day women of Aotearoa. Now, go kick some arse (yes, NZ spelling).🔥🔥🔥

Māngere Centre has reached the end of its life. No matter how hard or how often we clean the floors, giardia and coccidia–dangerous intestinal parasites–cling to the cracks. wiri.spca.nz/wiri-digital-2

This is a good and compassionate action.

Domestic snooze post. Does anyone in northern burbs Wellington want a bag of Fortune Thai Jasmine rice 1kg? Expiry end of May 2027. Purchased in error. Can leave in my letterbox in Woodridge.

I've had my eyes partially covered and turned away from the U.S since Charlottesville (2019) and then the 6th Jan 2021 riots because these people fill me with disgust - so I wasn't up with groypers until now. This is some helpful and interesting history.

So, the permit holder says he and his son are only allowed to use pans and shovels in creeks to find gold. OK, but isn't this Kiwi country, the only place in Wellington where wild Kiwi are only now starting to return and breed? Any chance we can just let nature do her thing?

Marking my house safe from ACT ideology by indicating we have voted to RETAIN Maori wards. This sign is at the door so everyone who passes can see.

Re council election candidate pamphlet. (Wellington version). Not everyone has "families". I am not remotely interested in your breeding progress to date. I already made my mind up, but that aside, your procreation would never have any bearing on my decision anyway. That's your business, not mine

Omg. Just at Picnic Cafe, Te Whanganui a Tara, listening to some boomer age folks talking about the share and rolling my eyes. Dude gets up to pay the bill. He has a MAGA cap on. Just about fell off my seat laughing.

I know not everyone is a NZLP fan, but is something afoot? Around late August, Kieran McAnulty called the PM a dud, in the House and said (paraphrasing) "you've only got a few months left"....Then in an email newsletter today, Hipkins says "we can't afford 3 more years. Labour are ready. Stay tuned"

Booklovers in Te Whanganui A Tara Wellington, Wellington City Libraries are holding their Annual #BookSale from Friday 26 September to Monday 29 September! ❗ Preloved #books and DVDs and CDs will be needing new homes. Can you help? 📚 📀 💿 😍 wellingtoncitylibraries.trumba.com/Wellington-C...

C'mon Nu zuland. We're too slow.

Strike action is taking place again today. Remember, going on strike is a huge decision for anyone In the case of Healthcare workers the logistics of finding shift covers is a biggie but so is giving up a days pay. Public are welcome at strike sites. Info about sites around NZ is in the link below

From @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social fb page.

We're having such stunning still spring weather here in Whanganui a Tara, but soon it will be daylight savings and eventually it will be hot. Living on a tree less medium density development is brutal in summer and every summer I wish I had solar panels to run the air con. Cheap solar schemes now!

If you can and you're willing, please stand with 36,000 healthcare workers as they strike tomorrow and Thursday at locations ALL AROUND Aotearoa. Locations below, including outside Fundy Luxes office and Simians office. maranga-mai.nzno.org.nz/te_whatu_ora...

Help workers at Richmond Pak N Save get a better deal.

www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle... I have finally found my people. Otroverts. This is quite a relief and answers a lot of questions that I have of myself and that others put on me.

Yep! I've heard it all.

The ghost of my bellybutton is weeping. The space ir home, where it was is sharply sore. The body is grieving its part and remains in shock.

If you're in Auckland central, head down here at 5 for good tunes.

Can we please stop equating mental illness with racism and other harmful values. Really sick to death of hearing this shit.

Dropkick Seymour alert. From an Arena Williams Labour MP fb page regarding canvassing a new development, "out of 80 new homes only 20 people are enrolled". We proved Seymour wrong with our Hikoi and with our submissions on TPB. Prove him wrong by enrolling.

Well, James Allardyce, if you came over so hot and bothered about such mild language you really must have lost it when BVV said c*nt in The House. Or is this more of "I hate Jabcinda" thing?

This is why I am like I am. I did not choose the vampire hours, they chose me.

It's cool that Wellington libraries scrapped over due fines but I have had a book on reservation for ever and would very much like to pass my time in post operative recovery with my face in this book. Can you please return it, if you've got it 😁

Good news. At long last, after years of campaigning, dogs will protected by law and no longer allowed to be chained for prolonged periods. But why is Andrew Hoggard overturning our live exports ban? Dog good, cow bad? www.spca.nz/advocacy/new...

Just intervened in a highly charged loud verbal fight between a man and women out side our house. I was worried he was going to assault her. He saw me come out and turned to her and said "Look what you've done now fn bitch, she's got her phone out". I showed him my empty hands and said quietly +

I just want to give one single example of an unprovoked personal attack I've received this week. This was in response to the fact that I am not a mother, by choice. This thread had 18 exchanges. The guy that set fire to my property for my activism is still before the court. Step up men.

Tonight's sunset with the Ohariu hills in the west. With apologies to good photographers with good cameras.

Mo Chara's trial has been delayed. He's on trumped up terrorism charges, for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag. "Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring adjourned the case until September 26, when he will rule on whether he has the jurisdiction to try the case." www.independent.ie/world-news/b...

This will be of interest for anyone who has intertwined whanau lines that are Maori and Scots, especially if you descend from Jacobites.❤️🤍🖤 🤍💙 Its a series about the parallels of historic experience and of fighting to retain your lands and cultural dignity. www.rnz.co.nz/video/stolen...

My "mutuals" feed hasn't worked since last night🤔. Hope it comes back. I quite like how it's quiet but often intetesting.

Today Mo Chara is in Westminster Court defending a weak and trumped up terrorism charge relating to him allegedly holding a Hezbollah flag at a concert last year. Successive British Govts have hounded Mo Chara and Kneecap. They've won before. May they win again today.❤️🇨🇮

One hundred and eighty-five years ago our tūpuna signed Te Tiriti here in Te Whanganui-a-Tara… vote YES to keep Māori Wards. www.facebook.com/share/15sMZ2...

I can't take photos. The actual colour of the sunset tonight (northern Wellinton burbs) was more a saturated bright cerise. This shows up more orange. But we do get beautiful sunsets in autumn and spring up on the hill. Taken from the deck.

This was a reply to a post of mine about Gun Nut McKee's booze plans. I am totally not interested in guys telling me about their boner meds. I don't even know you, so why tell me this? Its gross and unwelcome. Its crosses the line. Creepy fn pervo.

Soundtrack to the struggle? YES!

When I read the RNZ article about Gun Nut McKee being influenced by the alcohol lobby, in my head I put guns and booze together and came up with Hunter S Thompson.

It's the Government of guns, fast cars, cigarettes and booze! And don't forget pseudoephedrine, for more pep in your step! The shops already been open since 7am, so what are you waiting for? Gun Nut McKee says you can still buy booze from 7am - 11pm.
