Just finished Josiah Bancroft's, A Tangle of Time. I enjoyed it, but for some reason, not as much as book 1. (Still gave it 4 stars 7.75/10) www.goodreads.com/book/show/22... #booksky #fantasy #Pukapuka📚🇳🇿

Detoxing off methadone (after 26 years + being a opiate addiction for almost 20 b4 that) at age 59 is absolute hell. It's like going through menopause on steroids. Every bit of grief and toxic rage that that chemical blocked for years is coming to the fore as well as sweating out of every pore

I wish people on the centre left could understand that giving ground to the far right does not placate them. It encourages and empowers them. That's not me supporting murder, because I absolutely don't, but it's me objecting to bowing down to the violent far right who are pushing fascism.

Israel has assassinated the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza, Netanyahu's government carried out the assassination after the team of journalists spent months reporting on Israeli war crimes, collecting daily evidence of ongoing atrocities.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... Shane Jones says ‘bold ideas’ in demand, citing Trump’s 'success'... Yes, you read that right. A sad indictment of times we're living through. #NzPol #Trump #ShaneJones #NzFirst #Wannabe #Cartoon #Caricature

Pulled lifeless from a commercial fishing net off the Otago coast, the adult female yellow-eyed penguin had drowned in a silent, unseen death. She was the last known breeding-age female Hoiho from the Sandfly Bay colony. #NZOverFishing

Seen in #newtown in #whanganui-o-tara, a diorama, with Death sitting on a red sofa, behind him a wreath with RIP Ozzy. Love the small details, a welcome mat, bat on wreath, the carafe of alcohol, a guitar between couch & a small glasstop table with lines of "cocaine".

NGL, at this current time & with MPs causing social division & wanting to sell Aotearoa NZ to the highest bidders, I can get behind this meme. #nzpol #internationalpol #ritualsacrife

The winner of the fourth #SPSFC is Saint Elspeth by @wickwelker.bsky.social, a tightly crafted tale of a doctor who survived first contact and nuclear apocalypse. "They just arrived, inadvertently triggered humanity to tear itself to pieces, landed, and vanished." www.amazon.com/Saint-Elspet...

“Ill-advised and frankly dangerous management decisions have again put at risk the organisation responsible for delivering one of NZ’s largest undertakings … one that underpins democratic governance. This is compounded when you consider they were subject to an Auditor-General inquiry last year.”

I do not think this government campaigned on "being a suckup vassal country to an authoritarian child rapist" and I think if they did they would have had fewer votes #nzpol

🚨Israel is holding hostage the body of Odeh Hathaleen who was murdered on camera by an Israeli settler Israel is conditioning his release on a list of demands from the family, including burying him away from his village & not holding a mourning tent or a large funeral

As a single mum with a disabled child, this was the cheapest and easiest way to travel from Dunedin to see family up north. Great way to show the kids the countryside as we didn't have a car.

Tripped over a manhole cover 2 weeks ago 🤦🙄 - I must say the body produces some awe inducing colours pic 1 = 2 weeks after. pic 2 = 1 week after. Pic 3 = 4 days after falling. I especially love the purple and yellows and surprised I don't have WCC imprinted in skin

"a minor political party that attracted just 8.6 percent of the total vote in the general election is being permitted to bypass the democratic process that has three times rejected the proposed bill" #nzpol

this entire thread ACT NAT NZF still attempting a coup by stealth, with the aim of the Ministry for Regulation having unfettered control of legislation #nzpol

Businessman - Rhys Williams, from New Plymouth - who whipped up a false storm about an MP that resulted in death threats that included the MPs child wants anonymnity for his lies in case he gets targeted by abuse he actively forments against those he hates. What a nasty bigoted man. #nzpol
