It's official - Auckland will be the only showing of the Art of Banksy 07 Jul - 03 Aug Aotea Centre. While it's nice we get to see intl art, it would be nicer if the Vote Arts Culture Heritage budget could go to NZ Art Culture Heritage #mch #nzpol #banksy #artscene

why don't new people fucking LISTEN when we tell them about the sun in aotearoa nz? we warn them then they act shocked that they have 2nd degree burns when they were "only outside for 2 hours" ok so like I said, burn time in Jan on a sunny day is 5 minutes. you think we bang on about it for fun??

Just in case you havent walked into a NZ bookseller lately.... I would like to confirm that He Puawai by wonderful @theobrominated.bsky.social is an absolute stunner and you should buy it for all your beloveds! #kikorangi #nzbooks #bloomscrolling www.unitybooks.co.nz/products/he-...

#nzpol Reminder: John Key said he'd vote for Trump. Judith Collins thinks Trump is fab. Chris Luxon will fawn over him. David Seymour views Trump as his supreme leader. Winston is mercurial. This is not the coalition govt we need to weather America's fickle fascist leadership interventions.

NZ would do well to go hard on renewable energy for a bunch of good reasons.

You are being kept deliberately powerless in the face of the big stuff. So do what small things you can for those around you.

My dear #SecretSantaAoNz, I'm so sorry for making you wait... Chaos has kept me from my gift for days. But I am in & so thrilled, thank you so very much. #ReadNZ

Racing home to my #SecretSantaAoNZ present 🎁🎁🎁🎁

Families fight to put food on the table. Meanwhile the ACT Party and Coalition Government spent $150,000 on a 'Road Cone hotline'. Closing after 6 months & 200 cones removed, costing Kiwis ~$750 per cone (and they gutted Worksafe - putting real lives at risk!) We too wish this was satire ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The fact that there are huge areas of the country where fire-fighters aren't paid at all or entitled to ACC is unsustainable. In my town (and likely most rural areas with entirely volunteer brigades) the vast majority of callous are serious crashes, it's rough work. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

The New Zealand Government designates two new terrorist entities today A) the Order of Nine Angles (O9A) (the statement of case: www.police.govt.nz/sites/defaul... B) The Terrorgram Collective (TC) (the statement of case: www.police.govt.nz/sites/defaul...) gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/20...

A Wee Prayer for the weekend to whomever or whatever your guiding spirits may be... We are grateful but can you please step up your game because this shit is getting ridiculous and really we all just need a good lie down. Āmeni.

A slightly late #OnThisDay. On 6 December 1935 Michael Joseph Savage, leader of the Labour Party, was sworn in as the 23rd Prime Minister of New Zealand, succeeding George William Forbes of the United Party. #OTD #history #nzpol #nzpolitics #politics

I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment. When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people. Trans rights? Listen to trans people. Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC. Women's issue? Listen to women. Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

“Every ancestor that has ever lived is still a part of your family. Their physical absence doesn’t alter their ongoing impact on your life. One of the beauties of living a brown life is to know you’re never alone.” — Tainui Stephens. #kikorangi e-tangata.co.nz/reflections/...

“Which living person do you most admire, and why? Chlöe Swarbrick who is co-leader of the New Zealand Greens. She’s demonstrating the bold leadership that I look to do every single day.” Zac Polanski, UK Green Party leader www.the-guardian.com/lifeandstyle...

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” - Garry Kasparov

All I want for Xmas is the Aotearoa version of this

'everything begins small' is a collection of fifteen 200 word rpgs written across November 2025. Single, duet, and 3 players games, about wetlands, nature, transness, and more! Download individual ones, or as a big ol' doc. Grab 15 games for only $7 💚 takataapui.itch.io/everything-b...

But also I think the afternoon calls for further appreciation of the damn fine Mr Tiki Taane - who will always have a place in my heart #arohanui www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCuN...

Is it just the Gen X in me? or is Flea doing an interpretative dance Jazz album exactly the thing we need right now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tmyj...

@thegravyaotearoa.bsky.social This may be of interest to you!

Hey Aotearoa, let's not buy our loved ones surveillance tech this xmas #kikorangi disconnect.blog/a-tech-criti...

📚 Libraries, what are they good for? Absolutely everything Commentary at Newsroom: newsroom.co.nz/2025/11/26/l... #NZ, #Wellington, but relevant plenty of places elsewhere.

An amazing NZ story of a consumer taking a int'l jeweler to a dispute tribunal after they claimed the "lifetime" guarantee on a wedding ring ought to be for 12 years, since the average NZ marriage lasts 14yrs with 2yrs of separation. (This is not the wildest detail.) www.reddit.com/r/newzealand...

No, sorry, I mean, fucking Christ, how many nurses is that we could have kept in ANZ? How many radiologists/radiographers is it? Enough to clear the eight-month wait list for a basic CT?

What the actual ....FUCK!

My mental health... I think this is just my whole personality 🤷

Kāpiti coasters can take them to Paraparaumu, Ōtaki and Waikanae libraries:

#Journalling games.... #SoloRPGs.... I have just discovered these are a thing and I am intrigued. Please hivemind share your knowledge with me. Are there any NZ creators?

Oh ho no #SecretSantaAoNz forgive me for I have transgressed. It's been days with no hints... I'm a local-loving, sweet-toothed, tea-quaffing culture-vore with a stationery fetish. Really, I couldn't be easier to buy for. 😘

I used to handle interlibrary loans for a public library. ILL is a magnificent expression of the idea that readers deserve books, and books deserve readers. It’s libraries everywhere pooling their resources for the benefit of everyone. Killing IMLS could have killed ILL. This is great news. 📚

Direct hit

A mature conversation? Ok then. I sincerely think that politicians who have sold public assets without getting everyone's approval should be jailed for theft, and people who bought it should be done for receiving stolen property.

in case you needed a reminder that there is the capacity for good in this world, in people...

NEVER NOT FURIOUS ABOUT THIS. #nzpol

#NZpol MAKE IT LOUD, AOTEAROA! Let them know where we stand, it's what Aunty Helen would do if she were here on the #MegaStrike "The Union forever defending our rights Down with the blackleg, all workers unite With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands There is power in a Union" ✊

"There is power in a factory, power in the land Power in the hands of a worker But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand There is power in a Union" This Govt WILL take your #WorkersRights away if you don't stand up. You ARE worth it. So let them know, *VERY LOUDLY* ✊ #OneTermGovt

Chris Hipkins has pointed out that it would normally be the Ministers' job to front media etc about pay negotiations etc, not the PSC, as he was expected to do as Min of Ed.

A useful perspective.

Grifters gotta fucking well grift! Sorry NZ educators, this is where your stolen money is going #nzpol
