If this is the case, it’s a huge victory for the hard-working people at MPI #nzpol

Happy to see the Greens as usual are doing the best comms. Gosh. Poor NZ can't stop getting hammered by storms this year. 🥺

Happy birthday @cearo-thyme.bsky.social 🥳💞🫶🏼🎉 I hope it's fabulous for you!!

"Growing your own food tends to work well when you are in a position to take risks with expenditure, have time and resources, good health, and a secure and suitable housing situation. These are the very resources that families living with food insecurity struggle to access." Good read!

$37 million instead of our $6bn Cerf fund? talk about offering a few crumbs.. #nzpol

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

GenAI is plunder, pass it on (a comic)

Me reading almost any piece of news these days:

It really must be wild to watch your home planet disappear behind its moon.

Holy fuck this reality is a lot to deal with. Israel is just doing whatever the fuck it wants, and no one is stopping it. The USA is doing whatever the fuck it wants, no one stopping it. There's still ongoing bullshit throughout many African countries from colonisers, no one stopping it. Etc.etc.etc

More info on who I am/the work I do/resources like Save the Night/Chicago Mask Bloc!!! I also highly recommend Clean Air Club for purifiers but can supply you with some from my own library!

We won. Tesla Chicago is closed. Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability. Organizing works. @teslatakedown.com

Any candidate that takes money from Palantir should not receive your vote. Co-founder Joe Lonsdale is pouring millions into a PAC to buy off Democrats, especially in California. techcrunch.com/2026/04/19/p...

According to himself during covid the govt happened to companies whereas now companies are happening to the govt.

Now we have a beginning. It turns here. If not, then it does not matter how good/bad Bluesky is/was So give it all from now, and if you already gave, then rest and know the next person will give what they can. This is the starting gun! (If you needed it) Let's go! #NZpol

Winston announcing the breakup of the supermarket duoply like my grandpa in Christ you’re literally the government right now just do it. Hate these people so fucking much.

See, it's shit like that which make me so irritated with the #UFC. You can have a fighter go all "TRUMP IS AMAZING!" & they laugh and smile, but when Croden says "we have to love our neighbours, care for each other, because it's up to us individuals now" they're all like "idk about those politics" 🙄

I loathe these articles, which always come with hidden privilege - an electric car, the ability to renovate. Same vibes as “we bought a home” (because we have generational wealth from our parents). Media - the wealth distribution crisis isn’t about buying oats in bulk. Talk about taxing the rich.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts. A trans woman enters the room. Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts. Fucking clowns.

every new technology is like "we've invented a machine that makes you poor"

Good night AoNZ and Aus. 😴😘 Good evening western Asia. ☺️ G'day Europe and Africa. 😃 And mōrena Americas! 😚

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Whenever I have to endure something unpleasant I just lie back and think of sex

Thunder!!!!! 🤩🤩

I don’t know what tax bracket you have to be in to care about govt spending or debt but I know I’m not in it. Literally could not give a shit. I’m in the tax bracket where I want kids to be fed, homeless people to be housed, people to be able to access and receive quality healthcare timely.

Heck the rain outside is RIDICULOUS right now. Way, way heavier than that cyclone last weekend. 😳 And, according to MetService, it's likely going to keep getting heavier until 5am, when it finally starts to taper off. We are getting seriously water-logged here in Tauranga Moana, that's for sure. ☔🌧️

People can be really awesome. We really enjoyed attending Tauranga's first Queer Talent Show tonight. It was really a great way to spend an evening!! 🥰 Amazing performances of singing, dancing, and lots of excellent comedy. 🥰🥰 Just lots of good, friendly vibes all around.

Cut the public service to the bone, complain that the public service are taking too long Bishop is an absolute cunt, if he does end up as PM then we're fucked Please Mummy, make it stop! #nzpol

An article I wrote for men about "Rape Academy." Women already know this & I say this with full awareness of how uncomfortable it makes men: Most men are not safe to be around alone. This is not sustainable & men must lead the change. Men, we need to talk: qasimrashid.substack.com/p/men-we-nee...

Fuck I get so irritated with people who let their dogs just run free. This dog wandered out of its yard and is just wandering around Cameron Road (major street in Tauranga), crossing back and forth in front of cars, nearly getting hit and causing accidents several times over, no owner to be seen.

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

No fucking wonder he and Winston Peters get on so well. Get this cunts office OUT of our country.

Heck I love Otyken. Their new song is predictably awesome. youtu.be/xa4MOx6jixk?...

This is major but still people refuse to mask, healthcare settings and schools won't clean the air, and this number will only grow larger and larger unless we make changes to our behaviour as a society and adapt to the reality of these times.

For anyone doubting that the GOP / MAGA aspires to be the Christian Nationalist equivalent of the Taliban: According to this article, the proposed Ohio bill would include not just drag artists, but women wearing sports bras, tank tops, etc. without a bra underneath. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

And while they’re at it, commit to policy that mandates clean air in schools and health facilities.

Food for thought .... "When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist." - Helder Camara -

Honestly at this point, find me a country not following this strategy. 🙄😮‍💨🤦🏼‍♀️

For workers still being deliberately underpaid, it’s vital to ensure these laws are actually working.

Honestly I'd love for a reporter to drill this truth out of him. "So you would have been happier to kill 20,000 people here so businesses could continue as if nothing is going on?" Make him be honest. Tbf, he'll just dodge it as always with meaningless word salad I'm sure. 🙄

Whenever Luxon talks about "not repeating the mistakes of covid", I want to scream. Saving 20,000 lives was not a "mistake". And a regime which thinks it was are simply murderous monsters.

Weekend or holiday ... and the day off before or after.... that should say. Let's make sure everyone gets a paid day off for their birthday, no matter when it is or what their schedule looks like. 😁

I made a thread about bats/pekapeka in Aotearoa but because bluesky is being weird today I don't think the thread is showing correctly. 😅 Anyway happy bat appreciation day everyone! Flying fox fruit bats are my favourite bat species. What's your favourite bat?? 🦇

I feel like a person's birthday should be a paid work holiday. And if it falls on a weekend, you should be able to take either the Friday before or Monday after off.

The now: at the Kia Tika, Kia Pono—For A Just Society conference in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand (where I'm not the only masked person in the room 😊)
