A petition for those interested in what is planned for our waterways: community.greenpeace.org.nz/petitions/sa...

What do you do when the man who said you should have "the living shit beaten out of you" keeps sitting in the front row of candidate events? You make him meet your eye. You make him listen to the gasps of outrage when you say his words outloud. You make him listen to the applause you get.

#nzpol “[CTU Secretary Mellissa] Ansell-Bridges said this was "more than a protest — it is a celebration of the women who nurture, lead, and resist". "It honours the suffrage legacy and amplifies our collective power to shape the future." www.1news.co.nz/2025/09/20/p...

Yay! Trying out the mug I hand painted at #CraftCampNZ. Love it!

The weather cooperated today in Te Whanganui-a-Tara for the Women’s Day of Action #PayEquityNow

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Thanks everyone who messaged yesterday to confirm they’d submitted 🙌 The silence on this abysmal Bill has been appalling, and it has very much been an advocate-led push to get opposing submissions in before tomorrow’s 1pm deadline. There’s a lot to fight, deliberately. Thanks to all amplifying this🙏

If you need some inspiration for your urgent submission on the abysmal Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill (closing 1pm tomorrow), see below 🙌👇

It’s deeply frustrating that I’m struggling to find any mainstream media articles making these very clear, very concerning points about The Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill, alongside the opening of the door to privatisation. The silence is concerning - and the deadline closes on Monday.

Kia ora crafty Te Whanganui a Tara #nz pals! Sorry for using the c-word in August, but I've scheduled some Christmassy #needlefelting classes at Village Beads Petone, and wanted to let you know. In 2.5 hours, you'll make two baubles ($65pp) Sun 16th Nov, 4:30pm Sun 30th Nov, 9:30am Wed 10th Dec, 7pm

New bill to submit now that it has passed its first reading. This is the one that wants to remove the four pillars of wellbeing and take away local council ability to look after their communities. #nzpol www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

David Seymour thinks "dropkicks" shouldn't be allowed to vote if they don't remember to register. David Seymour, who once missed a vote happening in the same building because he was showboating for journalists

#InternetNZ has just sent out direction on how voting will work, reconfirming that in order to vote on motions you must be present IN THE MEETING at the AGM. So if you're an InternetNZ member who is eligible to vote PLEASE REGISTER AND ATTEND THE AGM!!

If you're an #InternetNZ member and you haven't yet voted in the board election - go vote!! #kikorangi

These are really fun classes if you’re in or near #Pōneke | Wellington #NeedleFelting #AoNZ

I recorded a 60s summary of my latest @spectrum.ieee.org article spectrum-ieee-org.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/spectrum... 🧪👩‍🔬

We've seen bullying in local government recently. But it starts at the top. I launched this petition because our Deputy Prime Minister belittled people for exercising their democratic rights. His behavior sets the tone and empowers others. This must stop. #nzpol

What a night! #ANZAHPE2025 conference dinner was so much fun!

#ANZAHPE2025 conference dinner starting in an hour. Looking forward to putting on my dancing shoes! #MedEd

8.5k people who agree our Deputy Prime Minister's behaviour against the academic community is unacceptable. So far no response from the Prime Minister. #nzpol our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...

And day 2 of #ANZAHPE2025 begins!

Loved @philippana.bsky.social session on be(come)ing a medical educator. Now I want to play with rich pictures! #ANZAHPE2025 #AcademicSky

Love the framing of this plenary. As educators and health professionals we already have the tools for critical appraisal of digital tools including AI. #ANZAHPE2025

#ANZAHPE2025 has officially begun. Fascinating first plenary by Daniel Capurro looking at digital health, frameworks and AI. #AcademicSky

Great first day of #ANZAHPE2025. Participated in two methods workshops and finished the day with a fantastic welcome to country. Loved seeing everyone in person again! #AcademicSky

Getting ready to head out to my pre-conference workshops at #ANZAHPE2025. Looking forward to learning more about Discourse Analysis and Realist Synthesis and Evaluation #QualitativeMethods

3,500 organic signatures in 4 days. People are tired of the constant bullying and belittling from this government. This is only the start. We deserve better from our country’s leaders. #nzpol Sign at our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...

Rather than read the latest horrible thing the governments of my two countries have done, I made lime marmalade today. And goat curry for dinner. #HeadInTheSand

Submitted on the regulatory standards bill. Found it useful to read to summary of previous consultation. Only two days left to submit. www.regulation.govt.nz/about-us/our...

If you’ve ever wanted to try felting this is such a fun class. My rose in its little pot is sitting on a shelf in our living room right now.

Two other bills people may want to submit on are the Education and Training Bill (No. 2) www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... due today by 11:59pm and the Education and Training Bill due 18th June at 11:59pm www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak... #nzpol

I’ve made my submission. Don’t forget to make yours. The consultation for the Regulatory Standards Bill closes on Monday, the 23rd at 1pm rather than the more common 11:59pm. #nzpol www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Trying out my new ceramic cup with my afternoon coffee. Fits beautifully in my hand. #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

A big thank you to the whole team of elves for bringing back #MWSecretSantaAoNZ. And thanks to all the Secret Santas. I enjoyed the thread immensely yesterday. There was so much care in the amazing and thoughtful gifts everyone sent their giftees and in the joy of those receiving and opening them.

Yay! My giftee has opened their #MWSecretSantaAoNZ present and they love it! I can relax now. 🧑‍🎄

Just got home and immediately tore open my #MWSecretSantaAoNZ gifts. And Yay! My favourite things. All locally made in Raglan. Dark chocolate, dark roast coffee, and a handcrafted ceramic coffee cup to enjoy the coffee in. 😁 Thank you Secret Santa!

Friends outside Aotearoa New Zealand. If you need a spark of joy today, look here: #MWSecretSantaAoNZ It's opening day for a nationwide secret Santa (our mid-winter) where people send gifts to a person they've been assigned. And everybody receives a gift too. It's all run by volunteers ❤️

Even if you're not taking part in #MWSecretSantaAoNZ Even if you're not in Aotearoa Tomorrow check this feed out, see the joy, feel the joy. We freaking need the joy! bsky.app/profile/did:...
