Just David "Ragebait" Seymour referring to people as "crims" in an official letterbox drop of propaganda in Epsom. Normal Deputy Prime Minister sorta stuff. #nzpol

My best wishes to everyone preparing to release their most personal work to date.

NZ journalists could easily hound Peters for this. Instead they harassed Doyle. And 2/3s of the coverage I've seen of Doyle resigning frames the resignation up as being another scandal for the Greens NZ media is a direct platform for abuse against diversity - the evidence is clear

I already spent my concert ticket budget on seeing him live at Roundhead just the other week (worth every penny and then some) but if you can get to this you absorutely tootely should.

For my musician pals who are wrestling with social media and maybe feeling lost or disempowered within the current environment, this might be a good listen...

Listening to @lukaszbuda.bsky.social I believe this is the best singalong you'll find containing the words "high cholesterol level" and "cardiac arrest" 🩵

Hit up the Tom Scott show tonight via livestream if you're into that kind of thing! The show starts in about an hour, streaming from Roundhead Studios 💖 I'll be in the crowd but I'm 5"2 so you'll probably see more than I will! 🎶 www.youtube.com/live/NGPwqWu...

why is "going off the rails" bad. why were you on rails to begin with. if you're not a boxcar free yourself

Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff summed it up perfectly in 2023. 🎨 #JournalismIsNotACrime #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

After taking this photo of a rainbow I turned around to see none other than the glorious John Campbell, smiling at the world. #blessed

Re: coercive control by powerful/adored men: "Importantly, this control can be subtle. It is often hidden behind performative niceness – hard to see and harder to prosecute." I once knew a man like that (not the one you think). He's still out there being "nice" 😈 www.rnz.co.nz/life/culture...

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

When the bus route only gets you half way home... 🌧️🚶‍♀️🌧️ At least we know my $10 op shop raincoat hood is in fact waterproof! Hope everyone is safe out there 💙

New Zealand must move beyond empty statements on Gaza

No moment ever repeats: Things change And so do we.

Hoping to make enough from TradeMe before this show sells out...! Can't think of a better gig to be at (Tom Scott at Roundhead)! www.undertheradar.co.nz/gig/97457/In...

Had a very emo mid-winter cry, c/o Coldplay from when I was 14. Wondered what the heck is wrong with me and then remembered... life is scary, recovery is messy, growth is hard, emotions are normal. youtu.be/2gf0njGOJ1o?...

Such a good piece today by @haydendonnell.bsky.social. I've had the recent misfortune of experiencing first hand how "justice" bows to the rich and actively dismisses the poor.

3,500 organic signatures in 4 days. People are tired of the constant bullying and belittling from this government. This is only the start. We deserve better from our country’s leaders. #nzpol Sign at our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...

Please stop encouraging reconciliation when the person who did the harm isn’t even sorry.

I've finally lost the remaining trust I had in RNZ news articles, due to the recent anti-trans story (propaganda) and subsequent unwillingness to admit they fucked up. Trans people are some of the most vulnerable in society at the moment ffs. #rnz @rnzrss.bsky.social

Seymour said that 95% were bots. Here he is being given evidence that one was not a bot and he denigrates the effort. What a guy.

How David Seymour (Deputy Prime Minister) talks to his constituents for the first time: #nzpol

Ah, yes. My first interaction with my local MP and he manages to immediately doubt my intelligence while misusing a comma. Exactly what you'd expect. May his remaining time in politics be incredibly short 🙏 You can oppose his shitty bill here (only one day left!): www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

People who knew Alex say that if his family had supported and affirmed him he'd probably be alive now. Alex was a young trans man who died in 2023. A distorted story of his life and death, along with misgendering and distortions was shared by RNZ calling him Vanessa. www.webworm.co/p/lifeanddea...

Louis Theroux asking Little Simz why it took two years between albums, as if that's a long time. Are you fucking with us? 🫠

modems screaming at us in the 90s was a warning and we didn't take it

It was a joy to bask in the glow of freshly-awarded Best Producer Nic Manders in the studio yesterday. You know his work if you know any of my music. Check out the Georgia Lines album to hear why he won. #aotearoamusicawards

'tis the season to embrace the coze.

Just remember the PM is earning almost half a million while his govt works to pay women as little as they can get away with.

Survivors would heal quicker if they had the kind of support their abusers do.

Why young women often defend the older men who harm them and even fail to identify the harm until later... This is one of the more nuanced conversations we HAVE to have if we are going to get anywhere in understanding how and why this keeps happening. thespinoff.co.nz/society/12-0...

At 37 years old I now look older than almost any celebrity alive today, lol.

It turns out I never needed a 24/7 stream of amusing memes and cute animal reels pumped into my eyes via Instagram DMs.

"You're not complicated, honey, you just want control" Phoebe Vic's brand new single is out and man, she just keeps knocking it out of the park for me. Every song is a playful and embodied "fuck you" to abusive/POS men from the past. Enjoy.
