Random ask: do I know anyone in Aotearoa who creates content for OnlyFans, and is willing to chat? Here or DMs are fine

KĀREAREA WINS BIRD OF THE YEAR! (and I fortunately had a design of this beauty already cooking...) Now available for pre-order, this fierce tee for the defenders of nature, non-tolerators of bullshit, and friends of the forest. Pre-order at pepperraccoon.com

I may have found my defining quote. Pair this with my pinned post and you will see what I mean!

I keep seeing this video thumbnail and thinking it's the flag from the alternate reality in Peacemaker for a split second. 😅 I guess the single visible star throws me off.

Don't get me wrong, we have a lot of other things that are wrong, but GOOD LORD do we need structural change in how we do tax (and no, Labour, tinkering won't solve this). We are not a poor country, we can do the things we want to do.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Luxon was the boy who stole your homework and blamed the dog for eating his. “Forty-one days before the Prime Minister sent Labour a letter pleading for a “credible, bipartisan approach” to solving the gas shortage, Labour had sent one to his energy minister asking for the same.’” #nzpol

So this has now happened to me twice and I'm SO CONFUSED. Someone I swore up and down recommended I read or watch something, I finally do the thing and tell them as much, and they said "nope that wasn't me" but like, I REMEMBER THAT CONVERSATION SO WELL and why does this keep happening 🫠🫠🫠🫠

I wrote about Alma, Rodney Taylor and the various ways ICE is a risk to the disability community. They don’t care about accommodations. They’ve dismantled the oversight committees. People are dying and becoming disabled inside these camps, and we must speak out:

Did you know ICE is holding a disabled advocate and whistleblower who helped shut down one of their detention centres? Alma Bowman is a 58 year old woman from Georgia who spent 30 months in ICE custody during the first Trump regime. When released she became a fearless advocate for detainees 🧵

Every time a NZ journalist, politician, or economist regurgitates the myth that NZ pension costs are an unsustainable burden they need to be sent this thread. It’s appalling that it’s such an embedded lie it’s repeated ad nauseum as if it’s a fact. #nzpol

With a government that feels above the law, entitled to their entitlements, wealthy and sorted, clueless and out-of-touch etc etc you sure get a ridiculous amount of this nonsense....

She's amazing. ✊🏼

Why it's important for pregnant people to get vaccinated...

It feels illegal we should have to deal with Kash at all here tbh. #nzpol

Omfg this is so good though 😚👌🏼

Oh hey would you look at that. Look at how much more energy is being used to support LLM usage. Using an internally trained model can be attributing to this if it's calling a server at all.

Google deletes history:

Hey, do I have any mutuals in Gisborne?? 👀👀

Oh boo... Looks like several people I only have connections to via Signal have uninstalled Signal. 😮‍💨 I hate when that happens.

Look I try not to doomsay or spread panic but this shit is truly and deeply Very Bad for every single trans person in America and unless everyone makes it their mission in life over the next few days to make sure that their reps know that shutting down the government is the correct option here.

New sticker

incredible how transphobia is such a reliable bellwether for all the other terrible opinions someone holds

More reasons to wear a mask Aotearoa....

Skircle folks

So exhausting..

I wish there were two bricks inside me

My message to Reform supporters

Disabled people are particularly vulnerable to abuse under fascism. ICE has been neglecting the medical needs of detainees. One disabled immigrant, Rodney Taylor, needs our help. He's a double amputee who's been in the country since he was two years old. He's being held in solitary:

How wealth inequality is destroying democracies worldwide w/ Chloe Swarbrick MP youtu.be/zl_LgDjpzxE

Netanyahu keeps affirming Israel will never allow a Palestinian state which reveals a central truth of the last two years: Israel has never been at war with Hamas it has always been at war with the Palestinian people. Western media shame themselves for not making this clear

Astonishing drone footage released by @amnesty.de of today's All Eyes on Gaza protest in Berlin.

If I was a Labour strategist, "choosing landlords and tobacco companies over nurses and doctors" is a line I would be repeatedly hammering the coalition with for the next year.

Let's go Michelle Montague! 😃

No favours for the wealthy. Especially when often that wealth comes from harming societies by avoiding paying a fair level of tax, underpaying wages, and so on. Fuck these wankers.

This captures much of the frustration of today.

Opted for Panadol with ibuprofen. So far so good.

A disease which impacts your brain, including specifically the ability to feel empathy, coinciding with the rise of worldwide fascism.... Curious

Medium birds.

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

Debating whether to break out the tramadol again or just stick with Panadol. Panadol is not doing much for the pain at this point, but tramadol makes me basically feel like I have the flu and I'm useless for anything but sleep for 12-18 hours. But gosh I'm very uncomfortable. 🫤😖

This tooth extraction has really really not been fun. 😣 I'm almost certainly going to go back for the 4th time post extraction on Monday to see if all these little bits of ... shattered bone pieces???? that I keep finding in my mouth are nothing to worry about. I feel like I'm never going to heal. 😭

Wow, whoever could have seen this happening.... *sigh* Wear a mask to save yourself from this fate, too. This is one of the most common Long Covid symptoms. The more times you get covid, the more likely this becomes your reality. #MaskUp

Wearing a mask is an act of resistance. It helps protect your health and the health of those around you. It tells the government you don’t believe anyone is expendable. It says you value community care. It shows solidarity with the disability community. Covid is not over.

@tepaatimaori.bsky.social #nzpol

Billionaires should be taxed out of existence. Oh nO tHeY'Ll mOvE tO aNoThEr CoUnTry! So what? Let them leave if they don't want to contribute proportionally to society. We're not here to serve them and it's time we teach them that.

Me be like

Please do me a favor… if you’re a fan of my father’s & hate people using AI to imitate an artist after his death, please 👎🏻 & report this asshole to Google. youtube.com/@georgecarli... It’s whack a mole for us. This is a nightmare.

It’s disturbing the way people talk about the 90s as if they were thirty years ago.

Later sunsets is the best though. BRING IT ON I can't wait!!
