Holy moly. Luxon on tv tonight denying his office ever saw the draft climate law given to his office by Fonterra & Z Energy; the companies confirm they handed them over. Language of our draft legislation almost identical. Banger of a story www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361... #nzpol

Just finished Crackhead. Oh. My. God. #kikorangi

A few years back a firm badly let us & others down. Good news came to light today (I missed earlier reports) that the director of Podular, a modular home builder, has been bankrupted AND it seems is facing criminal proceedings over his tax dealings. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. #kikorangi

Happened upon this wee poem today and it's somehow really lifted my spirits. #kikorangi nzpoetryshelf.com/2019/12/11/p...

new zealander everlee wihongi was due to meet with her lawyer yesterday. then ICE moved her to their most notorious tent facility in texas: 3000 people, highest death rate, most sexual assaults. and today, she disappeared off the system. please RT: www.webworm.co/everleehasdi...

I shall knead you and knead you and knead you #nzpets

God damn it. I hope we see Meiki Sherman back. Dirty politics, human cost. The timing of the hit job on her is highly suspect. #nzpol #kikorangi www.rnz.co.nz/news/media-t...

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Enjoying this burn by the Mayor. Not sure what’s jerked his chain but I’m here for it #TāmakiMakaurau

Have set my first Goodnature rat trap - in the 'burbs in Tāmaki Makaurau. Have to say I'm a bit freaked by how this thing works - the bolt action is fierce. No idea how many we have around but I do keep seeing them, particularly after a downpour. #goodnature #kikorangi

Autumn sun hits different when you’re a cat in a shoebox. No rent, no plans, just vibes. #nzpets #catsinboxes

Question for the cycling commuters: where do you find suitable trousers? Something that isn't lycra (not my way), not MTB-kit (wrong place), kind of looks okay if I jump off the bike & into the office without having to change (on an e-bike & won't be a sweaty kind of distance). #kikorangi #cyclingNZ

The title is fitting. A patient was being treated for Stage IV colorectal cancer. She had qualified for clinical trial, a her last-chance to slow the spread of her cancer. Her trial was about to start when NIH funding was pulled overnight, & it was canceled. She died. Many more stories. 🧪

I have found all these extra random channels on my LG tv playing some shows from 50 odd years ago. Jamie Sommers is The Bionic Woman. See you on whatever channel IP-253 is. Or Xena: Warrior Princess? Check out IP-252. The Lone Ranger? IP-254. Some of these have aged better than others. #kikorangi

For tonight god is a dj #synthony #TāmakiMakaurau #Faithless

What are the odds that the fallout from this poll will lead to an early election? Wishful thinking on my part? #nzpol

This is a "papers please" "English is the official language" "eat slop and be grateful" "disappear the unhoused" "women are second class" "don't learn real history" "local FBI office" government and we really cannot afford to be smug about other countries' slide to open fascism, Aotearoa

Between the cats and the hound, all the homemade biscotti has disappeared. I may have left the tin unattended on the coffee table while heading out to Pride. Someone is now feeling a little sorry for themselves. 🇳🇿🐕🐶

In the 1800s, a slave owner purchased over a dozen people in Georgia and set the foundation for his family’s generational wealth Generations later, a railroad company owned by one of his descendants is using eminent domain to seize land of Black farmers

Huh, would you look at that. *stares directly at the camera lens*

This is what happens when every tech company fires their ethics team.

25+ years together & I’ve only just realised that my partner irons her pyjamas. Hadn’t realised that was a thing. Clearly my observational skills are lacking 😂 #kikorangi

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Nothing man on a peace board would make NZ (Aotearoa would never join, NZ might) complicit in terrible doings. A poisoned chalice of an invitation and the wrong wannabe leader for these times. #kikorangi

The little fella’s enjoying his country escape up north. #nzpets #kikorangi 🐶

My Christmas tree now home to the sweetest caroller and angel #SecretSantaAoNz

I’ve been treated to some treasures by my #SecretSantaAoNZ - absolutely glorious - and such a lovely hand written message - top sleuthing and foraging skills. Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas!

The purpose is to entrench more power in the hands of one minister. Muldoonism, basically. It’s a battle between Seymour and Bishop to control more aspects of our lives.

An early evening delivery from the hard working couriers has me tickled pink. I've just received a parcel from my Secret Santa. Very exciting - and now patience. No sneaky-peaks 😇 #SecretSantaAoNZ

Tāmaki whānau, please go to this protest by Block the Ban against the Government's transphobic ban on puberty blockers for trans youth on Sunday 7th December from 10AM at Myers Park. Everyone, including trans youth, deserves access to healthcare. www.facebook.com/events/11854...

My son has been looking for work for a long time. First, before he was studying & then while he studied. He now has some casual work while on break - just 3-5 hours 3-4 days a week in the lead up to Christmas. After all that rejection, so demoralising, he stands a little taller today. #kikorangi

Dear #SecretSantaAoNZ - lucky me to have you! Some thoughts - first, stay within your budget. I'm charmed by second hand finds, I enjoy the garden, tea & coffee. I'm not crafty but appreciate those who are & do enjoy a bit of kiwiana. Whatever you do I hope you have fun!

PATHA's statement has been published: patha.nz/news

So this guy's on bsky - probably has been for ages and I'm only just realising. I don't want to see his stuff or engage with his lot - I much prefer the relative calm of this place rather than the other one. If you're like me, might be one for your mute or block list #kikorangi

I’d asked my partner if she’d like to see Prime Minister with me & she declined. After I’d been to the theatre & sharing with sis how I’d found it partner was all “but we were to go together!?” Turns out she thought I was off to see Sir Humphrey Appleby rather than Dame Jacinda Ardern.

Is it fair if an adult taken into state care as a child and abused, subsequently falls into crime, should be denied an apology and compensation for the abuse as if the crimes erased their history? If you think No then submit on the Bill by Wed 26 Nov! #NZpol www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

I'm reading the new Social Sciences curriculum content and I wasn't prepared for how sad I would feel. We spent thousands of hours working with the previous iteration and the NZ history content and all that enthusiasm and excitement was just killed for something so bad.

Great to see Labour and CGT as the number 1 story on One News. More of this - push the coalition of cruelty off the front page with positive policy alternatives. #nzpol

Watching Matangireia with Paula Bennett. Is she setting herself for a return? #nzpol

Feeling so very disappointed for Kaipara and somewhat scared as fuck for the next general election. #nzpol

Pre-orders are open until October 30th so you've still got a wee window to purchase one for your green fingered friends or your Mum. I'll even mail it for you with a wee note! Job done! 🌱🇳🇿🎨 jenniferduval-smith.com/shop/botanic...

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
