Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

Siouxsie took on an institution that failed to protect her and other academics from death threats, whilst doing fantastic #scicomm for the common good. She won against UOA. And is left with a house-size debt even after being awarded costs. Give a little back if you can 💚 🚨

Siouxsie is the absolute GOAT & it's our turn to step up & support her & help to relieve some of the financial burden she has faced. We love you Siouxsie!

This is blatant political interference in rge New Zealand Curriculum that shouldn't be tolerated. Education professionals should be deciding what is in the NZ Curriculum, not politicians from 8% parties pandering to the worst of NZ society to the detriment of our students.

I'm reading the new Social Sciences curriculum content and I wasn't prepared for how sad I would feel. We spent thousands of hours working with the previous iteration and the NZ history content and all that enthusiasm and excitement was just killed for something so bad.

I'm so hung up on Christopher Luxon saying "oh well the government has advised people not to go to Gaza for many years" as though Rana, Youssef and Samuel were on an ill-advised ski trip and not, you know, deliberately engaged in humanitarian efforts to deliver aid to victims of genocide
