Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum. It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade. And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

the fact that the US Embassy HERE has its flag at half-mast for Charlie Kirk is insane

Newtown/Mount Cook political commentary

The 'two languages confuse children' line is literally assimilationist shit from two generations ago that has been so massively debunked even as whole cohorts lost their mother tongues at school.

Having Paul Goldsmith speak at the NZCYA Awards is like that one uncle no one likes turning up at your family reunion

when a trans child dies because their parents refuse to accept them, it is deeply unethical to report only on those parents' side of the story, it's my opinion that it's journalistic malpractice

Been reading a cookbook from 1929 and these are my favourite recipes so far: - "Marmite Stimulant" (it's Marmite in water) - "Toast Water" (it's toast in water) - "Raw Eggs" (it's raw eggs)

you know who else is good at creative writing? Humans. Many of them. and most of us don't need 100 gallons of water or to commit thousands of copyright breaches to be good at it #FuckAI www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
