NZ First is now consistently using nazi catchphrases in party political statements. you'd think that media *at least* would be pillorying him for this, and yet...

Tech bros are literally war criminals

Labour isnt left-wing, they're a bourgeois party that the sooner they're made redundant the better. there is no future in pretending to like them because they're not as opportunistic and greedy as another ruling class party...

this is beyond something that needs to be framed as 'personal opinion' at this point it's not only the correct moral, ethical and political stance in the face of US collapse into fascism and open war - it's correct purely on personal risk to NZ's residents

I know I'm not supposed to cross the streams, but as my mainstream alterego Hiria Dunning, I've spent 8 months putting this together. ALL proceeds go to OutLine Aotearoa, so you can get some good reading in and feel good about your money helping others if you buy it: books2read.com/RainbowStars

Fatphobia is capitalist propaganda, kiss my fabulous ass

can we stop saying Tangi is the first novel by a Maaori writer plz thx

This is an absolute disgrace. The disproportionate suffering of Māori and Pacific children and their families is an outcome of deliberate policy choices and an ongoing refusal to confront institutional racism in Aotearoa. #ToitūteTiriti #onetermgovernment #nzpol

the first act does such a good job of depicting generational struggle for change that when it becomes about depressed gods feelings it undoes so much of its good work

2/2 The timeline that led to Winston Peters and NZ First bending the knee to ACT, letting down New Zealand workers, and lying to the media. #nzpol

Thrilled to share some big news: my next book, The Carnivore Diaries, will be published later this year with Āporo Press 🍎 #TheCarnivoreDiaries #pukapuka #NZbooks @damienlevi.bsky.social

do we understand why using the term 'move on' in the headline, even in quotes, is bad journalism? do we understand how it directly creates cover for social murder? if so, why are nz media outlets *still* doing this?

love that labour are supporting scrutiny for something that only helps poor buggers. love what that signals. u absolutely don't have to give it to them labour when the govt uses the conceit of fair lawmaking to shit on the working poor again.

I feel bad when I read people who say they hate writing, especially to the extent they’d let an LLM do it. Writing was the path to making me feel human and the emotional journey of doing it all the time fills me full of purpose. I refuse to believe I’m the only person who feels like this!

yeah I don't want the art theft machine to do anything with my writing

"Hipkins would not commit to ring-fencing any amount of money for climate resilience or having a "fully-worked through policy" before the election" tell me more about what you're not prepared to do Chippy. 🙄 Labour Party members what the fuck is going on in ur party??

Every time I say 'Land Back' some block me. That tells me it needs to be said a whole lot more. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. 🪶💯

re protests at pride // everyone who is against our queer whaanau should be made to feel unsafe in all public settings / and they definitely should never ever be given a fucking platform at pride

like with any social media it's cos people i love are still there / like would i choose to be on Instagram or Facebook still? no / but that is how these things work / would love to use Signal for all my personal correspondence but alas hardly anyone i know uses it

more and more we need actual adults in leadership who see the world generationally rather than rich pieces of shit so invested in class war they would have us all dead for a quick buck

I don't currently have the words for my anger and frustration seeing climate events happen all over the motu and knowing - we could have been better prepared. We could have made different choices. People don't have to die. I'm trying terribly hard to not be bitter.

i often think about this review

cordite.org.au/poetry/fit/h... I haven't submitted work to many places lately cos the book I've been working on is like one long thing but I managed to pull together some of Hinemoana's perspective for this issue of Cordite / very thankful to be a part of this issue

still wild to me that a colour blind sadist came up with bisexual lighting i love the whakapapa of trends

Yesterday we found juvenile female #kakapo Ongaonga on a nest on Pukenui/Anchor Island. At just under 4 years old (her hatch day is 12th Feb), she's the youngest female ever recorded nesting. Today we also found Matilda nesting - she's just 2 days older. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

#nzpol This Bill must be stopped and it CAN BE STOPPED. Along with 48 other unions, lawyers, NGOs, academics, former Workplace Relations Ministers, and current spokespeople, we've written to MPs urging them to vote down the dangerous Employment Relations Amendment Bill:

In a rational world the horrors of the *incomplete* Epstein files would be enough already to shatter every implicated company & government into splinters... And you can make that rational world come to fruition.

this was done intentionally - multiple ministers including Willis & Seymour bragged about how many jobs they’d cut in the first 12 months of their government. the reserve bank literally said it wanted unemployment up to control inflation. as with so many other policies this term, it’s social murder

Not for nothing but we reaaaaally shouldn't be listening to what a noted creep has to say about other creeps. Ask any young woman in the nz lit scene who to avoid. The whisper network is LOUD.

it's really funny that people who hate us keep revealing themselves to be evil idiots

I just will never get the willing and totally unnecessary self-censorship YouTubers get into. I've said "kill" and "rape" and "cock" and "dick" in so many videos.... and NONE of them were demonetised.

Kirikiriroa/ Hamilton folks. It would be great to have a strong show of support for Te Huia this Sunday 2pm at Hamilton Frankton Station. A key decision is coming up in a couple of weeks on extending the trial by another year and your support could help get this across the line.

RW politicians lie outrageously about it, then all the political reporters say something like “wow National is going to deliver for working NZers” then media, politicians & party supporters blame people for “voting against their interests“ as if capital hasn’t got a centuries old propaganda machine

"whatever semenless precum glistening on the folds of their foreskin \ like salt spray on a limpet" if anyone wonders what the vibes of my next book will be like lol

NZ Post should not be run "as a business". It's a fundamental public service and every issue you have had with it, or with courier delivery, in the past 30 years is down to governments sacrificing that public service for the sake of short term cashflow

the way these people shame the name of Christ while showing they are everything he hated like is it really too much to ask these motherfuckers read their own book. may this man be shunned in every public space he enters.

many such cases

no one feels more free to write whatever they want than someone you’ve emailed the correct spelling of your name and iwi to

again another example of how thoughtless firsts just cut people from the conversation and the historical record. lazy and bad reporting

That RNZ 'New Gaza' article pissed me off enough to submit a complaint via RNZ's online complaint form and document how you too can submit a complaint and use my notes, if you wanted. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
