One way to stop them would be for the interviewer to just ask them 'wtf are wearing hi vis for, lol, I just saw you put it on, what are even doing?' and play it on the news.

IT WOULD BE FUCKEN GREAT IF THE SCEPTICISM THAT THE NZ MEDIA HAS SHOWN TO "TYLENOL CAUSES AUTISM" COULD BE APPLIED TO "GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE IS BAD" BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH FUCKING LIES SPREAD BY THE FAR RIGHT

i thought peter thiel never actually spent time here www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/auckland/...

Jacinda or any other prominent figure doesnt deserve praise for doing the bare minimum — calling it a genocide. Being anti-genocide is not supposed to be an exceptional thing its supposed to be the baseline and to treat it as exceptional is to admit that the system you uphold is genocidal. #nzpol

me telling my grandkids what it was like to have vaccines

Maps without New Zealand (derogatory)

I normally take ibuprofen for my assorted pains but now that I know tylenol is good for autism I may need to switch.

why does compounding medicine cost so much money anyway

welcome to big boobs incorporated

Oh, your delinquent company needs public money to clean up your environmental mess / pay your RSE workers a living wage / subsidise your climate responsibilities? Ok, the public now owns a proportional amount of your company and its profits. You’re welcome. #NationaliseBasicNeeds #nzpol

Locals aren’t lazy, they just don’t want to be sexually harassed at work. Have unpredictable schedules Work in an environment where customers are abusive and management turns a blind eye Where hungover bosses are making everyone else’s life a misery What am I missing here?

i want cigarettes but i know if i get them i will immediately regret it

There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

that girl is an enigma. by which I mean we figured her out a long time ago

running on a platform of getting rid of all the drug addicts ruining wellington, getting voted in by reactionaries, then kicking out all the hospitality owners

I used to work for a wellington bakery whose owner made us wear her campaign shirts when she ran for council. every soy mocha or hot chocolate that came out of there contained dairy because instead of buying drinking chocolate they'd have us melt baking chocolate with hot water from the machine

something that bothers me about the state of wellington hospo owners is that I escaped the hospo industry. I know what these people are like, for one; and I know that the industry is full of people who could be running really cool hospo venues but won't get to because of hospo pay/hours

Palestine has been hit with more tons of bombs in 2 years than the total of London, Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima & Nagasaki in WW2. Now the UK, Australia & Canada decide that while they continue to arm Israel, they will make recognition of Palestine conditional on the victim unilaterally disarming.

passport application finally submitted! now I get to feel like I had a productive day

I am going to draw a straight fucking line between the NZ media's obsessive attacks on wahine Māori politicians and their blatant simping for a dead American racist. The mainstream NZ media are shamelessly and deliberately causing immense harm to NZ's democracy and security.

I dreamed that I was in Los Angeles, which apparently looks a lot like Wellington

The March 15 mosque shootings are but a distant memory for the NZ media.

I don’t know if small businesses around Pōneke are uncritically displaying posters for Bitter Wellington / Independent Together candidates or actually support them, but this voter is taking her keep cup and getting her caffeine fix elsewhere. If my spending is the only power I have, so be it. #NZPol

Asking a majority non-Māori population to vote on whether Māori wards should be kept is racist as fuck. Asking any majority demographic to vote on whether minorities should have certain basic rights that facilitate equity is straight up bullshit. And referendums make me furious.

I want to emphasise the importance of anyone with a progressive or even a fair-minded bone in their body in the Wharangi Onslow-Western ward giving me their first preference. Please hit up friends in Karori, Ngaio, Wilton, Northland, Wadestown, Khandallah etc to check they voted

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

gooning as performance art

wanna replicate Wellington in a city sim and have every council candidate use it to show us what they'd change

eats half of ur pussy and puts the rest in the fridge for later

when some people lose their grip on reality, they seek therapy and medication. when other people lose their grip on reality, they run for council on a platform of low rates and car-centred development.

why do we take economists seriously. at least if we put astrologists on the tv to explain the economy it would be fun

since the economy got way worse I've been going out for coffee more, because instead of looking at ~$15 for a "cheap" bite out, I'm going out for coffee dates at ~$7

My kingdom for any article about "speed humps" to mention that hitting anyone or anything going 50km/hr has an 80-90% chance of killing them, but going 30km/hr is only 10%

look at what they took from you

do they make like the anti-ozempic for bitches who can't gain weight. yougovy

*typing, trying to imbue her messages with "I'm hitting on you" energy*

If you're making a character/relationship playlist it should be 8-15 songs. You're curating a mixtape! You're telling a story! Put some ✨art✨ into it

girl who rails against the taliban bc she wants to try heroin

me, shooting up heroin: "well at least im not drinking"

the nz green party isn't actually very left-wing

how do i simultaneously communicate that dealing with winz is terrible and dehumanising and rage-inducing but also please please please go on the benefit if you need it like it's so much less bad than draining all your savings or missing bills or borrowing

aaaaaa I wish I knew the compounding pharmacy had a two-week lead time on LDN

Born in 1873 Maori scholar Mākereti Papakura is believed to be the first indigenous woman to matriculate at University of Oxford. She enrolled in 1922 to read Anthropology at Pitt Rivers Museum but tragically died just before graduating. She will be awarded a posthumous degree in Oxford next week.

the idea that one day a trans kid will look at me and see a future for themselves in me is enough to make it all worth it

I'm looking into volumetric dosing. I would assume that dissolving 50mg of medicine into 50ml of water wouldn't give you an exact 1mg/1ml dose, since the total volume of solution would be increased by the medicine. but nothing I'm reading seem to indicate this is the case.

looking forward to the central library opening again. Wellington needs more places to just hang out

If anyone in Wellington NZ would like to pick up some cheap @swordscomic merch (like enamel pins), Caffeinated Dragon are shutting down in a few weeks and everything is half price 🥲
