Excellent commentary highlighting the hypocrisy of so-called protectors of free speech. Given the recent vitriol against our former PM, who doesn’t feel she can return to NZ, I believe politicians need to be held to a higher standard in public speech, including “jokes”.

“Many people hate change because they see change as violence against the status quo, and they react to change, as if it is violence against them” — John Ameachi This rings true in the era of backlash we seem to be experiencing.

Better get first dibs before Donald.

A great discovery!

Prophet Song is a jolting cautionary tale that resonates with our time & humanises ‘those others’ on the news. It could be anywhere. It could be here. Lynch renders chillingly plausible the unexpected unwinding of social order, & humanity’s ugliness behind its thin veneer of niceties. A must read!

For others who’re wondering: you can get a COVID booster shot 6 months after your last one if you’re 30+yrs, plus some other vulnerable groups. The MoH website has more info. There are quarantines happening again so best to be protected! 💉🦠😷

Thrilled to share this article based on Olivia Bloom’s MSc research published open access in Women’s Reproductive Health.

Professor Nicola Gaston, University of Auckland Waipapa Taumata Rau, has been awarded the Thomson Medal by Royal Society Te Apārangi for transformative leadership for the research, science and innovation sector and as a ‘driver of change’ towards equity for women in science.

I genuinely would like to understand this!

Loretta Ross on Reproductive Justice Much wisdom but esp her kōrero on “callout culture” & the need for “calling in” & graciousness in movement building. The Left risks alienating the “muddled middle” & splintering when we demand conformity (remind you of anyone?)

It’s interesting that there isn’t similar interest in the plight of Uighur Muslims in W. China or Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh, also facing types of genocidal attacks. War is ongoing on in Ukraine, showing no signs of abating any time soon. Yet all eyes are on Israel & Gaza. Why is this?

Tongariro from National Park tonight.

A blur of activity this morning. He sat on my lap in the sun for all of 3 1/2 minutes & then off to patrol.

Just got this massive bouquet from a friend to celebrate my promotion! 😍

Remember, remember! The fifth of November: Parihaka. Remember Parihaka. Know it’s peaceful kaupapa and it’s brutal sufferings at the hands of the pakeha crown.

I’m reading/viewing postgrad assignments on a Saturday morning because they’re so amazing (OK not all of them TBH ☺️)! I nervously kept the creative reflection piece of the final assignment for a course I took over. Well! How exciting & rewarding seeing what they’ve learned, esp those in healthcare

Academic assholes and the circle of niceness by @thesiswhisperer.bsky.social , After feeling hurt by some arseholery this week I was reminded of this blogpost, which 11yrs on seems sadly to STILL be relevant. t.co/jBMoafrpi4 1/3

After a week of putting up with academic arseholery I am ending (far too late for a Friday) with this and a red blend: “From Bad Apples to Zombies? Walking Dead Leadership in the Contemporary University” fastcapitalism.journal.library.uta.edu/index.php/fa...

Hmm 🤔

Thrilled! SA constitutional court rules any parent entitled to 4 month’s parental leave. Would love to see Aotearoa follow suit.

And now for something completely different… How to keep asparagus fresh for longer: treat them like cut flowers in the fridge. Stand the stalks upright in a little water. Stops them wilting and going bad.

@srhastraea.bsky.social have you watched this yet? I believe it won an award. Haven’t watched it yet but thought might interest you.

I feel like I’m being followed. On Xitter

I loved going to Music Mix at the mall, browsing thru CDs & listening to an album at a booth with headphones, deciding whether to spend my pocket money on it. I’d then listen to the chosen CD on my small ‘hi-fi’, putting my faves on repeat. Music Mix has closed & this is now an ‘old person’ story!
