FYI I’ve opened this one up for full public reading, listening & sharing after requests from paying subscribers. Their support allows me to do this public interest journalism on Aotearoa’s political economy around housing, climate & poverty in public. #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/thekaka/...

Running the government is a lot like playing recorder – it doesn’t work if you suck. #makeitstop by letting those in power know just how many people care about primary education in NZ. Share this film, sign our petition, or just make some noise for teachers & educators at makeitstop.co.nz

A great win! We need to support our Trans Youth not make things worse for them. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Thank you so much. ❤️

This year’s Sweat With Pride was tough. I reached my goal, raised over $2,000, but my time was with someone I love through breast cancer treatment—hospitals, surgeries, recovery. I couldn’t commit like I usually do, and that’s okay. I’m proud I still showed up. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

Day 29 of Sweat with Pride. We are so close. Only one more day to go. Can you help me get to $2,500? Only $493 to go. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

Day 26 of Sweat With Pride. Had a pretty hard gym session today. Would really love to make it to $2,500. Less than $500 to go now. Can you help? www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

I have been set a challenge to raise as many $24 donations by 10am tomorrow. Can you help? www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

Day 25 of Sweat With Pride. Taylor Swift spin class at Cadence last night. It was fun. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

The reason I do Sweat with Pride and have done so for the last 6 years is for the rainbow community. All those we have lost to mental health or HIV and those that have been harmed. Please think of them when you donate. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

I’m Sweating with Pride this June! 🏳️‍🌈 60 mins of sweat a day to raise $1.5k for life-changing Rainbow support in NZ! 💪💦 Chuck in a few coins? Every $ counts! www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/... #SweatWithPride

I am a safe person

I’m a cis gay man in Aotearoa and I stand with our trans whānau. We fight together, always. Trans rights are human rights. #TransRights #ProtectTransYouth #LGBTQIA

We are half way through the month. Let’s get to $300 by the end of the month. We are nearly half way there. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

Hey everyone. I have a goal to get to $300 by the end of April. Your support is greatly appreciated. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. Mine reveal a hint of heterochromia—nature’s quiet twist in plain sight.

Even the sky says Trans Rights.

Im at it again for the 6th year in a row. Rainbow communities need your support now more than ever. Happening in June. Please donate if you can. www.sweatwithpride.com/fundraisers/...

Destiny’s church needs to look inward and not at the rainbow community. They need to be protecting their own children before they try anywhere else. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

My husband said he was going to give me blue balls. This is what I got

Always a pleasure.
