I’ve started a Substack!

I’m going to start a blog on Substack. It may be in the form of a thread of tweets.

See you at Waitangi. pmn.co.nz/read/politic...

I am one of those people who forgot their password over the break 🤦🏽‍♀️

Classic Kiwi Christmas. Feels like 100% humidity.

Why do journalists keep calling the te reo allowance that some public servants get a “bonus”?!

Israel's genocide continues, incl. killing Palestinians sheltering in a school, bombardment of central & southern Gaza, & attacks in the West Bank. Rainfall has also triggered floods in parts of Gaza as strong winds damage makeshift tents. So, a reminder of rallies for Palestine this weekend:

Erica Stanford dodged the question: what does “making the NZ curriculum more balanced” in the coalition agreement mean? On Morning Report. #nzpol

I keep thinking about how those who culture police others are often deeply insecure in their own identify & place in the world.

National are talking about “economic vandalism” as though Labour are single handedly responsible for the world wide economic impacts of Covid. #nzpol

National keep saying they want to devolve power - which I have no problem with in theory. But what they mean is a dereliction of duty. Under resourcing community providers & then pretending the job is done. National Māori Action Day - Te Pāti Māori protests in pictures www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Auckland #freepalestine rally change of location & day. Now Sunday 12 Nov, Aotea Square at 2pm.

RNZ’s biased reporting on the genocide in Gaza is out of control. We can see whole apartment blocks bombed on videos - from numerous sources. Why are they lapping up misinformation? And using it to frame their stories? www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/5...

🚨 Palestine rallies this weekend 🚨 Aotearoa, the genocide in Gaza is still ongoing. Our political leaders, on our behalf, are enabling it. This is our chance to say ‘Not in our name’. Show up & say it. I’ll be speaking at Auckland’s ✊🏾

Getting the popcorn ready to watch the special votes coverage. 🍿Also have the chocolate ready in case I need to comfort eat due to the left loosing close seats. #nzpol

Samoans for a ceasefire in Gaza and a Free Palestine. #CeasefireForGaza #FreePalestine #samoamosamoa 🇵🇸 🇼🇸 (Picture taken at the Auckland Palestine rally on Saturday 28 October.)

Thousands marching down Queen Street, in New Zealand, chanting - “free, free, Palestine”. #FreePalenstine Chanting led by a 5 year old boy.

Where do people listen to the morning news these days? Normally I listen to morning report. But the quality of journalism from the hosts has declined significantly this year and the final straw is the biased reporting of the genocide in Gaza. Suggestions please.

So this is where everyone is. Thanks @tzemingdynasty.bsky.social for the code! I’m expecting high quality political chat people. Or I’m going back to threads. 🤣
