OMG. Whomever is doing the Briscoes socials is on point. It is either AI or photoshop. If AI, a great use of AI. Can't believe I am saying that.

chappel roan...awesome

to everyone enjoying the Men's SuperSmash Final Scott Kuggeleijn is a rapist. #Cricket #NZCricket

It’s worth remembering that homelessness is a direct result of extreme inequity - which is fundamentally a failure of policy and embedded systemic discrimination. We need a government/media who focus on equity instead of dehumanising the vulnerable, and instead of enhancing wealth for the wealthy.

Why do some people on the bus think two seats belong to them? Just got a huge sigh from sitting next to someone, who persisted in taking up all the space. Boo.

Jeepers it is windy in Pōneke. My roof is creeking and we're destined to lose some more plants from the garden.

KHM sat down with Daniel Todd for the Bacon Butty podcast to talk about his life in food (and beer). Give it a listen. www.iheart.com/podcast/269-...

Just made some surprisingly yuk sushi. Boo.

🍻 It was cool to flex my Cicerone skills with this fun @rnz.co.nz.web.brid.gy article for your festive season 🍻 www.rnz.co.nz/life/food/ca...

This reads like RNZ has published a press release. Where's the analysis of why it needed fast tracking? The issues? The iwi and community perspective? The impact on the environment? Shit effort. 1/10. First mining project gains fast-track approval www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I've found the artist. The prints are years old. Just waiting to hear if they know who bought them. It's weird they've not be claimed. They're super cool, just don't fit our style.

In wellington, Parliament, on the 18th, at mid-day! Be There, Or Be Square!

Anyone in Pōneke recognise this artist? We found 4 pieces of art we'd like to return to the owner.

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...

Reckon we can smash the signature goal on this. Just a reminder that you can't really say you're ally unless you stand up and speak out in times of need.

Your gentle reminder that my crowdfunding campaign ends tomorrow night… Thanks everyone for all the love. It’s been amazing. www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/852...

Aotearoa Te Waipounamu: solidarity with disabled folk If you've not yet signed the petition advocating for increased funding to Total Mobility scheme, please do! Petition closes tomorrow night (Friday 28th Nov, 11:59pm) Please sign and share Total Mobility scheme is much needed

I am happy to share a submission and the findings of the RC on this. Survivors committed crimes based on the lessons they learned from their abuse and did not get access to justice in the justice system. This Bill is in conflict with the RC recommendations and PMs apology.

#HaveYourSay on Redress System for Abuse in Care Bill by 11.59pm Wed 26 Nov 2025 on if Survivors of Abuse in State Care sh'd be blocked from compensation if they committed crime after abuse? Or if NZ Govt agencies sh'd be protected from civil suit for abuse #NZpol www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Community rally on Sunday from 2pm Te Aro Park, Dixon Street Wellington to oppose NZ government ban on puberty blockers for trans teens as part of their healthcare. The event will include create street art with chalk and planning next steps. #NZpol

This is excellent news 🥳 Former Labour minister Michael Wood to re-enter politics www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Health providers in Aotearoa: Gender Minorities Aotearoa are offering a 50% discount on their e-learning module Trans 101 for clinicians Please take them up on their generous offer (or for goodness sake koha them the full price because they are jolly well worth it) Show you support trans kids

The Cass Review is anything BUT "independant". Anyone using it as such to justify decisions about gender-affirming care, cannot be taken seriously. That includes this fucked govt right now. Here's a report on the review, published recently in the Medical Journal of Australia:

Hey peeps! It's been 2 weeks since I launched my crowdfunding campaign, and your support and generosity have blown me away. You folks rock! But with 3 research grant rejections this month & 2 weeks left to go I’ve decided to set a new stretch goal & pivot… 1/8

No one in Wellington wants extra fucking tunnels. We want decent public transport and quite a few of us want safe cycleways.

One year on, we must question the value of an apology made by a Government that refuses to listen and respond to the voices of survivors. Every child, young person or adult placed in state or faith-based care should be protected from harm and given everything they need to thrive.

I love coming online after a wobble and seeing people's reactions

The absolute gall of the man. There are a number of genuinely good people who missed out on being a councillor (myself included), whereas this absolute buffon throws it in our faces with comments like this. Unbelievable.

Went to a 🤯 te Tiriti course with Paul Moon today. I learned SO MUCH. It was fascinating, educational, enlightening, sad all at the same time.

I am very tired of windy Wellington...Can someone please make it stop.

Labour have committed to repealing this within the first 100 days. Imagine having such an unpopular piece of legislation, be trending downwards in the polls, with a leader uniformly disliked by voters, and STILL letting Seymour coerce you into ramming this through? #nzpol

Bah. I'm clearly quite grumpy tonight. Feck it.

To ask a pakeha majority to remove representation of an indigenous minority is ongoing white supremacist colonisation. #nzpol

Aotearoa, New Zealand. You have till midday today (Saturday ) to vote in the local body elections . You can still register to vote and do a special vote today before midday. Please head to your local City Council website and find out how and where to vote. #elections #NZ #Aotearoa

The government has accepted all the recommendations of the Poutasi review into the murder of Malachi. This should be big news. There's some deeply complex matters wrapped into it, including mandatory reporting of child abuse for some sectors.

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Wellingtonians - Are you interested? An hour of unlimited play on the machines at Ye Olde Pinball Shoppe before regular opening hours on a Sunday from 10-11 am. N95 or better masks to be worn at all times and there is an air purifier. $20/person and we need 25 people to make the event happen.

Castle Chemist in Newtown has boxes of aura masks, 20 for $5. @grumpyyetamusin.bsky.social @millycenti.bsky.social @sassypolitico.bsky.social I got two! It's super cheap.

Voting for Māori wards. I wish I could vote for @misswhanau.bsky.social too. It's a sad list of contenders for Mayor. It's never been more important to vote in support of tangata whenua. And, to vote in general.

Saturday mornings on RNZ are honestly so boring now. There's so little personality coming through the interviews. And, don't even get me started on morning report...Which is more like 1/2 a news report these days. Sigh. Any recommendations?

Huge news for Laneways...

Hey Hutt folks, you may miss it when voting, but please don’t vote for Suzanne Levy! She sounds fine, but OOPS she runs the TERF organisation Speak Up For Women.

#nzpol What the poster says.

Come on down to Everybody Eats today if you are in Pōneke. There's delicious mac n cheese to support them and @kaibosh-nz.bsky.social. It'll be yums. Cheese...Yummmmmm

Just had a wee booster. Slightly uncomfortable arm. Way less bad than the alternative.
