Why do we view property damage as "violence," but not hunger or poverty?

On trans day of visibility two days ago the overwhelming message I saw from my trans brethren was *No forced visibility and no lip service "inclusion" without safety, protection, and liberation.* And today, my friends, we see why.

Think we're going to have to invoke #secretsantaaonz levels of community really soon I'm happy to offer anyone in Kāpiti who needs it a lift if you're struggling with the cost of fuel and need to get somewhere I've got an EV and charge with solar so I'm very fortunate #kikorangi

Yup, so this

Oh FFS

And thank you to Marc and Newsroom for pursuing the story prompting recognition from Health NZ that their advice was confusing and resulting clarification being sent out. A piece of Public Good journalism.

Boosting this a bit (hard to do with my very curated list of interactions here!) along with an invitation to come to my book launch if you can - there's still space. It's free & there will be wine 😜. I'd appreciate it if you would share with your networks of anyone who might be interested!

nz media again showing symptoms of being seriously unwell by framing up this pedophile predator in *his own words* instead of, you know, "pedophile predator" or "convicted criminal" etc dude only got 10 months and a small fine. What the fuck is wrong with nz reporters and editors in msm??

Apropos of nothing, a reminder that what drives Project 2025 is a belief that law, government, policy should be informed by a Christian nationalist worldview. Project 2025 author, the Heritage Foundation was a member of the Atlas Network. This ethos is all linked - in service of power and control.

He’s fundied up the cabinet for the election 👀 #NZPol

Didn’t entertain the doggos for long but maybe it’ll provide you with some entertainment!! Video description: 2 golden retrievers “apple bobbing” but for pieces of radish….and in the process dripping water all over the floor and creating a puddle!

They're cool shirts. 🥰

Welp stocked up the cupboard a bit and strapping in for a very shitty winter. If you’re in the Hutt and absolutely boned for petrol crisis related reasons, hmu because I will give you an EV ride to the shops or whatever you need.

Some people will always need to drive. So if those of us who can use active transport &/or PT do so, then there’ll be fuel for those that need it. At least with some meaningful planning there might be … 🤔

been a couple days since i refreshed this - now at NZ$589 of my $999 goal to buy an e-scooter! thanks so much to everyone who has shared or donated so far!! 🙏🏻💚😭 plz consider reposting, or if you have a spare dollar or two maybe chuck 'em my way? any amount helps, no amount is too small!!!

“Red tape” presumably meaning “the rules that prevent us from descending into the kind of chaos that invariably means wealthy people get wealthier and the rest of us just have to manage or not manage in a crisis situation and the government doesn’t care either way as long as the wealthy are happy”.

The acute stage symptoms might feel mild, but truly what happens to your body is not mild & can take years to show up. I cannot stress enough how important it is to prevent getting this illness if you value your body's ability to work correctly. You can't feel vascular damage. All organs are at risk

NZ is deeply misogynist, demonstrated in every stat from sexual/domestic violence to pay equity to home ownership to public health. Women are not entering politics because men who pathologically see the world as being white, cis and male act to prevent it. Speaking of crises - this is one of them. /

I know we all have (or could have) our local offline communities, but I do wish some of us lived closer so we could pool energy, capabilities and resources.

Weeks. Not tomorrow, WEEKS. Oil and Gas Infrastructure and Markets irrevocably fucked for a decade. Our NACT1 Government has their heads in the sand thinking it will blow over. While Peters continues to arse kiss Trump

Good on Fired Up Stilettos for speaking out And lest anyone thinking this is divisive at a time we don't need it to be: speaking up about shit behaviour is NOT divisive. The SHIT BEHAVIOUR IS DIVISIVE. Sex worker's rights are workers rights

Assistive technology

Periodic reminder that if you live in a big city (I am in Wellington) you should download the app Transit. It’s the best app for getting around if you don’t have a car of your own.

Mum on a pension, me on a carer’s benefit, trying to work out how I’m going to get her to her respite sessions when we run out of fuel. Maybe I should go and get a wheelchair now because I don’t think she’d handle me doubling her on my bike 🤔

Cries in New Zealander … www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

So many splainers in the comments. The reality is people on lower incomes will bear the brunt of the fuel crisis and the govt will pat themselves on the back for the uptick in EVs among people who could afford them.

Moths galore! Not new but I was just messing around with photos which made me go, oh, could post these, in case someone else likes moths! Mothies: pocomoto.co.nz/product/moth...

Almost $1 per litre more expensive than in my 'burb at the moment

Not liking this warm & humid weather 🥵

I have never paid more than $4000 for a car. I’ve just not been able to. I am aware of all the benefits that come from spending more up front. I have just never been able to afford that outlay. I am not unusual in this. EVs are a great concept but just a theory for many of us.

Crossing Kyu Nakagawa last night.

New iron-on patches for invertebrate lovers are now available! 🐛❤️ available here: shop.fossilforager.art Let me know in the comments which invertebrate or creature patches you’d like to see from me next! 🪳

STOLEN E-BIKE Stolen from Vivian St tonight between 9 and 11:45pm. please let me know if you see it! this is my friend's means of transport please share

In fact, AT have put their fares up.

Rare double seawitching weekend 🐚

They priced people out of having a life they don’t care if they price people out of fuel. No one really cares as long as the top 10% are responsible for 50% of consumer spending. The billionaires don’t care if most of us die and the rest become servants while they enjoy earth’s remaining resources.

What The FUCK???!!!🤯

I would add to this. If you’re unfamiliar with safe cycling routes where you live and find this a daunting task, I recommend contacting your local cycle advocacy group. They may* be able to help you plan the safest route for you to take. * even if this isn’t advertised, most groups will have

I hate that politicians are allowed to lie. I hate that political candidates are allowed to lie. I hate that, after they've lied, there are no consequences for them or their career.

To add to this, if you have the means you should also: deepen your pantry (shelf-stable bulk like grains & tinned veg), buy duplicates of essential household supplies (toothpaste, cleaning products, etc.), and collect your prescription repeats as early as possible #nzpol

A reminder that the clocks change next week, check your pronouns and swap out if the battery is low.

Three journalists and nine paramedics were murdered by Israel in southern Lebanon on Saturday. These targeted intentional war crimes continue a clear pattern used in Gaza. Israel is purposefully ignores international law - yet it expects to be protected by it.🤬 www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...
