Be safe, all of you who are in the path of the cyclone.

They scoop their chicks in under their wings and carry them when they need to move them fast and so the Internet has wonderful Eldritch horror pictures like this: #wonderfulbirds

The analysis from Bex in this must read thread is spot on #nzpol

My annual holy Easter video of a tūī filling his face with feijoas

I bet having diarrhea in space would be really terrible.

this will make you cry.

Ok, for all the haters. A new version with the volume up 😉

Have you noticed that the government are more concerned with not looking like Labour handling a crisis than handling the crisis? #nzpol

An essential read for anyone in #nz - the fuel crisis is far, far worse than the govt is letting on energyandresilience.substack.com/p/every-coun...

The happiness of this blind little dog when she was adopted is indescribable . 😍

Every time I post about endometriosis and dare to make it, gender inclusive, I always get a lot of comments from people angry that I didn’t just say “women” And every time, I think about how Rowling has enough money to cure endometriosis forever. But she doesn’t actually give a fuck about women.

An absolute betrayal from ACTs Brooke van Velden. The H&S Bill should not progress. We must kill the bill in honour of the 29 men killed at Pike River and the estimated 10,000 people in NZ who have died from work-related diseases or workplace fatalities since the Pike explosion in 2010. #nzpols

For anyone who might be wondering what Rakiura's nest looks like from the outside. Video made by Ranger Theo—that’s Nora‑A2 and Heather‑A3 inside while Rakiura was out getting food. #Kakapo #nzwildlife

What the hell.

The only thing I miss from Twitter is I just don’t get the reach for my posts begging for support here, & there aren’t those with big platforms who’d choose to repost me. Maybe it’s a blessing. Begging makes me feel incredibly awful, there’s a lot of self loathing that goes along with it. #Kikorangi

Please share far & wide - the bestest, most heart warming thing you’ll see all day. Kakapo-Cam - watch one of the fattest, greenest, least able to fly, most endangered parrots in the world care for her young. Thnx @digs.bsky.social #kakapo #wildlife 🧪🧪 www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

the today is the 7th anniversary of the Christchurch massacre, when a white supremacist killed 51 Muslims in NZ. How he did it - live-streaming it, putting slogans on his guns & a writing a manifesto - has been copied in many other attacks Let us remember the dead & fight like hell for the living.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

A country surrounded by the ocean, with active geothermal zones, buffeted by winds and basking in sunshine should not be relying on tanker loads of oil, gas and coal shipped half way across the world to run its energy network.

NZ PSA: apparently there's a new covid vaccine out next week to cover new variants. Source - my local chemist.

Kia ora, there is a lot of chat right now around folks who are rough sleeping. I used to work in this space as a volunteer manager in England and I just think it’s important to remember that research tends to show that the number one cause of homelessness is a relationship breakdown.

Truth:

The Government is further empowering Police to harass our most vulnerable people. Laws like this make it disgustingly clear that the only accommodation that this government is prepared to fund is prisons. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

One man, one instinct, one umbrella: When everything changed for Christopher Luxon

The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character. In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words: "Welcome to IKEA" "Welcome to State of Origin" "Check out my Spotify"

Winsto complaining about "pinko communist" "anti-americans" in #nzqt . Like its 1984 or something. And if people aren't opposed to the present US government, there is something fucking wrong with them.

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

And now, TV 1 is doing a puff piece about charter schools.

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass. It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved. I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it. Please share this...(1)

One News just ran a puff piece about the Melania documentary. #fuckssake

Why didn’t he pay a local caterer to supply food for morale-lifting purposes?? Why didn’t he handshake and shoulder squeeze the local couple who have been supplying hamburgers to the workers FREE OF CHARGE from their mobile food cart for the past week?? Why KFC FFS 🤦‍♀️ The man is sans nous.

The PM took boxes of KFC to the flood damaged East Coast. 🤔

Nicky Hager says Judith Collins is “clearly and demonstrably not” fit for the Law Commission role www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Want to see something no one's ever seen before? (barring 160~ people who watched it live a few minutes ago)

Hey, #kikorangi fam, please share this info with anyone you know that might be interested! Little Makos Swim Schools in Wellington still have spaces left for Term 1. Thanks so much! #pleaseshare #aonz #localbusiness #blueskyfam #pōneke

I've just seen a trailer for the Melania movie, soon to be showing in NZ/AO cinemas. Who the EFF would want to go and watch a puff piece about her?

The tragic loss of lives in NZ flooding events this week are climate change deaths. Media and govt are avoiding the topic. Leaders and commentators must acknowledge the emerging reality of ordinary summer rainstorms carrying volumes of water akin to tropical cyclones of previous decades.
