This is so accurate it causes me mild physical pain.

Public statement from WPATH: “New Zealand’s decision seems to be driven by political motivations and runs contrary to the Ministry of Health’s own evidence... WPATH requests the New Zealand government restore access to puberty blockers.”

The U.S. military said Thursday that it blew up another boat of suspected drug smugglers, this time killing four people in the eastern Pacific. The U.S. has now killed at least 87 people in 22 strikes since September. www.democracynow.org/2025/12/5/bo...

I‘m sharing a Palestinian account everyday and today is Samar. Samar fled with her children at the beginning of the war, but her husband stayed, he was killed and their home destroyed, she also lost both her parents. She is trying to take care of her kids Tala, 13, Basant, 12, Imran, 10 and Zeina, 5

Fifa gave a "peace prize" to the executioner of these Venezuelan boats and their crew. Peace prize🤦 You have just lost a football supporter you muppets.

(a) There is no ceasefire in Gaza — Israel's genocide is continuing. (b) Netanyahu wants a forever war to keep him out of jail. The price will be paid by *the people* of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and — of course — Israel. But the rest of us will also pay for this insecurity too.

“Gaza now hosts the largest group of child amputees in modern history.” UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says nearly 42,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered life-changing wounds in Israel’s war – and almost one-quarter of those are children. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7eexx4

All they have to do to stop this trajectory is keep fossil fuels in the ground and stop invading other nations.

The Labour Party that got gay marriage into legislation, passed the BDMRR and banned conversion therapy should be able to clearly defend their own record and stand up for the ideological vandalism conducted against trans dignity and the LGBTQI community. If it can't, what the fuck are you doing.

If any NZ Labour MPs, or candidates, are seeing this - nah, it's not good enough for your leader to adopt a fence position while our community is under threat even if you've all been given the go to say "what we actually mean is". He's a leader, if he isn't leading, he's losing.

Rape is bad. Racism is bad. Grifting is bad. Destroying public institutions and programs is bad. Wrecking the economy is bad. Kidnapping people is bad. Building camps is bad. Committing war crimes is bad. We need to offer people a reason to show up, but I believe that a majority are against *this*.

Even after this coalition government cut new graduate nursing hours from 32 to 24 hours per week in a very strange effort to provide new grad nursing jobs, STILL less than 50% of new grad nurses in New Zealand have been offered jobs.

Living vicariously through family members travelling - Nepal just looks amazing.

Millions of #Palestine Refugees rely on UNRWA for education, healthcare and humanitarian services across five fields of operation. Every day, our teams deliver essential support, even in times of conflict and crisis. #UNRWAworks

Aus govt has several contracts with Palantir, including in the justice system and everyday surveillance. International Law found Israel is committing a genocide in Palestine and as signatories to International Law Australia must CUT ALL TIES

Labour stans would prefer we be silent and stop pressuring Labour to listen to our demands and just be happy with Hipkins and their policies, but if we don't get them to listen to us then Atlas will get Labour to listen to them. #nzpol

The only thing that's unsustainable on this planet is wealth being hoarded to such an extent that it encroaches on research, development, and education that would resolve all of our societal issues. Immigration isn't unsustainable, being a rich cunt is.

They are governing for 5% of the population.

“When it came to COVID, we completely blew out what the value of a life was, completely, I’ve never seen such a high value on life.” - Brooke Van Velden, Minister of Workplace Relations and Safety. #nzpol

NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!! HOW VERY DARE YOU QUESTION THIS?!!! 🙄🙄🙄😑 #nzpol $3200 for morning tea, $227k for advising role: Labour questions retail crime chairman’s work

Tim Tams made from recycled tires would be great for Auckland Cycle Lanes

Anyone else got local Nat MPs getting all up in local govt issues while assidously avoiding local concerns about central govt ones like health, education, stalled Kāinga Ora builds, policing? Got an MP having a public meeting about speed bumps on a street that’s had them for about 20 years 🤦🏻‍♀️

We are beyond Westminster. We have been since 1840, when Te Tiriti o Waitangi established a plural policy advisory system. But we now live in turbulent political times, characterised by coalition governments, permanent campaigning, heightened partisanship, and policy spin as gaslighting.

Scoop: A trove of briefings and Cabinet documents released under the OIA reveals the Govt was advised its new methane target is only consistent with warming of 2-2.7C (and possibly up to 4.5C). Climate scientists have said 2.7C would represent 'unprecedented peril'. newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/04/g...

NEW: Merino studio-made Fantail Forest pennants...I am so proud of these. No microplastic felt here, we sourced NZ merino felt <3 These were handcut, sewn, riveted, and decorated by us entirely in studio. <3 So easy to hang in any room to add some retro vibes!

A wellbeing ‘meta-law’ could actually make a difference: A #Wellbeing #Act focusing on concrete targets-& measured spending required to meet them–would hold govts to account for social & environmental failures #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/14-...

Sorry but Vatican giving a "fuck you" to Meloni and every other anti-renewables chud pol in Europe not only making clear they're now 100% fossil free electricity, from solar *agro-voltaics" makes me smile. Can't believe the Telegraph hasn't run w Tory MP decrying "Papist Energy Hurts Farmers".

Anyone else had the latest covid boost & feel 'off' for the next week? So tired & a bit nauseous. Of course it could be frantically working 2 jobs & one is suddenly busier than before...

Israel doesn’t let Doctors and Humanitarian Organisations back into Gaza if they talked about the genocide publicly This has already happened to many people like Dr. Victoria Rose

The government does not believe in local democracy. #nzpol

The NZ Endocrine Society have released a statement calling for "the repeal of this unethical ban at the earliest opportunity". If it wasn't political, the govt would be listening to these expert statements. www.endocrinology.org.nz/nzse-positio...

No mention of fossil fuels in the Cop30 deal... a week later and more than 1100 people dead across Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia after torrential rain and catastrophic floods. We are not all in this together #climateinjustice www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

I was born in 1986 and came of age when PrEP and PEP were urban legends in small town Texas. To have it be widely available and often funded by governments still blows my mind.

Christchurch parents are horrified after their children ate a contaminated meal from the government's free school lunches programme.
