I cannot emphasise enough the work that @davidfarrier.com does to help NZers. The current crop of journalists are HEAVILY restricted by the realities of working for corporates, and SO MUCH of the absolute best journalism is coming from David. He's making real actual changes in AoNZ.

AT FUCKING LAST!!!! "Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters said this afternoon that he had been "thoroughly briefed" on the issue, and "we're working to the max to help her"." www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

This made me laugh though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7w_U...

I really, really wish this account could be a fandom account. I would love it more than anything. But it's so dark out there right now I can't summon a lot of joy. #thehorrors

FREE EVERLEE WIHONGI "WE MUST SHOW UP! 📅 Sat 16 May ⏰ 1pm 📍 Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade – 23 Quay St, Akld DEMAND answers for Everlee. Demand Minister Peters ACT NOW. CAN’T ATTEND? Email the Minister immediately: 📧 [email protected] Tell him: Find Everlee Wihongi." @toitu_te_aroha

This is excellent reporting by @manidunlop.bsky.social outlining the Mana Wahine Inquiry and the experiences of both political and business leaders. www.teaonews.co.nz/2026/05/11/t... #nzpol

I passed these kids yesterday. The police presence was outrageous and frankly insane. Massive waste of resources. Let the brown boys have fun, ffs. Old white men in lycra do this shit ALL THE TIME. THIS is how you lose community respect. #acab www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Everlee Wihongi jailed by ICE for a month now moved to another prison unable to communicate with family or lawyer. Labour is calling on Foreign Affairs Minister to advocate with US govt for her release or at least she should be told why she is being held and able to communicate with family & lawyer.

This is truly terrible news. #thehorrors #theycontinue #nzpol

This is so fucked and terrifying, and our government has done nothing to help. #thehorrors #nzpol

hate posting IG links here BUT…band meeting! www.instagram.com/reel/DYJeBmf...

Back in the mists of 2017, I was given this book for Christmas. In the spirit of levity and mirthfulness, let me share with you the Worst Cross-Stitch Book in History (I'm sorry HERstory!). Aptly, a 🧵

Young Kiwis, LEAVE. Our government hates you. If you have any other options, leave this country. Or if you do stay, I'll join you on the frontline to fight off these horrific ghouls as some kind of weird/cool aunty figure. #nzpol

Absolutely HILARIOUS culture description for a place I did a short contract at last year where the founder (? I think) was screaming abuse at people. Reader, I RAN!

This is very sad but honestly not overly surprising. It is SO frustrating to see this playing out again with the usual suspects providing "leadership". I hope Maipi-Clarke can stay strong through this. I'm running out of parties to support. #nzpol #thehorrors www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Bought a streetie a pie and coke because he was actually nice. Hugged a random dog in a local shop. Neighbourhood vibes over the past 24 hours have been PEAK. No notes.

Went to a gig last night at a small local venue. So hot the ceiling was dripping. People were smoking indoors (illegally). The crowd had EXCELLENT vibes and were incredibly hyped. Honestly it was just so nice.

Worth a block so he'll get bored and leave.

the foot touch was improvised iykyk

This is so neat

FYI, I have zero tolerance for AI art shares. If it's an honest mistake, then that's fine, but unironic share -> unfollow.

Sitting inside on a cold autumn evening, listening to The Cure, and remembering one of the good things about the 1990s - that feeling of complete isolation and unreachability unless someone picked up the phone and called you.

Dude, this is really NOT a burn 😂 #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Winnie getting his ducks in a row so he can attempt to get back into power with Labour. He may be the worst, most racist, bottom-feeding POS out there but he's never been stupid. #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Genuinely the best sentence I have ever read.

Oh now THIS is beautiful. Wow. More please.

I’ll look like Kate Box?!?! Absolutely sign me up, she’s gorgeous!

I have to SOCIALISE today BLEURGH

Waaaaaaaaaah

This is fantastic! #nzpol #thehorrors www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Truly the stupidest timeline. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

SUPER brave of her and I hope she doesn't get too much harassment. This is 100% reflective of the experience most women go through in the workplace at some point. #thehorrors #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Orbán gone! Thank FUCK.

Fair warning to new followers - I'm not usually an AoNZ weather-related account, I mostly talk with overseas bods about gay pirates and lesbian crocodile-wranglers.

Last supper vibes at the local café, interrupted by the penetrating BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEP BEEP of an emergency alert on everyone's phones. My property manager has sent THREE emails. It's a good sign, we've been very underprepared in the past.

I feel almost physically pained by the level of horribleness so many of the men I know/encounter have stooped to lately. And what I have found out about the "good" ones. I'm actually reeling, it's very hard. I feel like someone has punched me.

NO. STOP SANEWASHING HIM. #thehorrors

If you want some hilarious levity, have The Kates. youtu.be/fpyqifIXpR8?...

Waking up to multiple calamities and I just want to watch my emotional support gays.

I love living in a world where the US basically rules everyone else, it’s so great. #thehorrors

Fucking hell. Time to ban men from voting.

Deadloch dump continues. Fuck I love Cath in this season. She is so unapologetically herself in a way I profoundly envy. #deadlochspoilers

How did I not know McCartney was queer?!?!

FINALLY finished Deadloch! Phewph. The Kates got me good, yet again. I did not see any of that coming. #deadlochspoilers

Something I don’t think you guys know is that my sister (she’s a journalist) pitched a story about the fandom to a major AoNZ paper back in 2022. She wanted to interview Rhys. They declined 🙁

I still haven't finished Deadloch S2 as my partner and I are watching it together and are so rarely in the same room. One more episode to go...

Five shows to get to know me: - Peep Show - Interview with the Vampire - Baby Reindeer - Flight of the Conchords - Arrested Development Thinking about this made me realise I am not really a drama person at all. I like comedies. So 2 and 3 are an exception to the rule.

Great day continues unabated. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The way I am CLINGING to my parasocial relationships with seemingly decent men like a fucking life raft as the men I know IRL continue to fail me.
