Seems to be free to read… it’s a longish one, but well worth your time 💯

My understanding is there is no definition, in law or anywhere else really. But a proper law person will know more.

Pro-tip for any budding politicians: Saying "It's a distraction" when your opponents begin a policy directly targeting a minority, one which will reverse your own governments gains for that minority, tells everyone in or supportive of that minority that you didn't give a fuck then and you don't now.

If the government outlaw trans rights then they're gonna have to deal with trans wrongs.

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

Upping this for visibility. Working with the good doctor would be amazing! Tara is an amazing person and a staunch advocate of human rights.

Roe V. Wade

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

I am trying to get in touch with the whānau of Dave Terangi, a Ngāpuhi fella who lived in Margaret St, Papakura. We did some research with Dave, and we know he has since died, but we would like to return a taonga. If anyone knows his whānau, pls DM me. Also Pls retweet (so to speak).

I asked my mom, she said it's okay.

you guys all prefer the angry rothkos and its going in yr dossiers

WHATS UP YOU WET MOTHERFUCKERS

Wellington friends, I need a favour. Next Monday afternoon 20/4 at 2pm, I have a gastroscopy at the Rutherford Clinic in Lower Hutt. I can get out there by myself, but due to sedation, I will need a lift back into town. If anyone can help, please let me know. Will reimburse your fuel costs. Ta!

“I’ve been using ChatGPT to help with cooking for a while now, so I didn’t think too much of it when the ingredients list included a bottle filled with gasoline and a cloth wick,” said the alleged attacker

Leah McFall describes Brawnass as “peerless” in her latest newsletter but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of dudes every bit as creepy as him in the publishing industry which is why he still gets hired

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Forget false narrative about costs, the OIA needs strengthening #nzpol newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/04/f...

police lie, and have no duty to protect you

"hi, I know you used to respect me but I want you to know that I care about a nostalgia bait tv show more than your right to exist, please tell me I'm still a good person" you are an asshole just for asking

Interesting fact: people who don't have driver's licenses still have a right to vote

Do not kill the cringe. Kill the part of you that cringes.

I guess Reti can go back to what he enjoys doing: undermining the health system via private investment and being weird about abortion #nzpol

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

He wasn't even a good ceo

I've just published a reference for anyone using git while trans, explaining how to hide or remove your deadname in git repositories Please share ❤️ code.curly.kiwi/2026/02/27/u...

Don't become a bookless statistic this year 😥 #pukapuka

We honor the bravery of Ahmed al Ahmed, a bystander who risked his life to protect those under fire. The lesson, yet again, is all too clear: Our safety is bound up together.

This is one of the weirder rabbit holes I’ve gone down in my life, but yes, Grohl was an active contributor and supporter of the aids denialist groups

A little more detailed press release about the release of our new national guidelines. Honestly it still hasn't hit home that we finally got them published - relief doesn't even begin to cover it.

If you are a parent, and your kids' school is not on the list, email the board of trustees and ask them to join it.

The Andrew Little situation strongly implies he just confidently assumed he could manage Chung fine, and put zero thought into it beyond that. Which means he also just assumed Tory Whanau was doing a bad job when he could cruise through. And that's disrespectful/racist/sexist as shit. #nzpol

If you have any interest in trans rights, this is a pretty incredible documentary. It’s about Chase Strangio, the trans man who has been arguing before the Supreme Court. And about the ways the news media can misunderstand and misrepresent trans people. gathr.com/vod/9320a621...

Opinion: If The Herald's political staff wants to sneer about a "C-grade scandalette" let's go there. There's a lot of material in the archives of a newspaper, let's not forget, that waged an obsessive, and increasingly petty and bizarre, campaign to slut-shame an elected Mayor out of office.

I need a huge favour Pōneke friends. I can't weight bear on my toe so I'm going to After Hours to get it xrayed. Can someone please go to Chemist Warehouse on Lambton Quay & pick up my blister pack medication for me today and drop it off to my front door. I will give you all the necessary info. ❤️

Given the grim news in the political reporting at Teen Vogue, we need to support media like The Flytrap even more!

When you are pure of heart no amount of earnestness is Cringe. When you are a malevolent little freak no amount of sarcasm is enough to make you cool
