Today's wind is a warning of what's to come, and of the need to cut emissions fast. The most effective cuts we can make to quickly limit damage is to cut methane. Which means shrinking the dairy industry. But national is doing the exact opposite.

Wondering whether anyone will be asking the regime about the weather in #nzqt today, and why they are killing climate change policy in the middle of a climate disaster.

CHATGPT IS NOT A FUCKING SEARCH ENGINE

Bill English getting $500,000 to write a report on Kainga Ora that somehow echoed Chris Bishop's preconceived views is peak National Party #nzpol #kiwi

Also, just based on what I saw today, it's good for people to associate your political movement with having fun as a community, and also people enjoy it, which has real material value

Stuff front page right now… what a juxtaposition. #climate #nzpol

Fuck all the people who voted no to Māori wards

Imagine the calls to resign if this was a leftwing Maori women Mayor ... #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

WHY is it that when authors use Gen Ai to imagine their characters, or when Hollywood gets excited about an "AI actress" the results are just the most boring looking, stock photo white people. Like there must be a thousand girls in L.A. alone that look like "Tilly"

Magical university with a cast of LGBTQIA characters, Secret Garden retelling, the grumpiest lead ive ever written, a trans non-binary librarian in the series library ever AND there's a hot new hardcover available? Sounds too good to be true? it's real!

Kier, the young kelpie who just wants to learn more about humanity (and maybe eat some people? 🥹) in my Detective Duarte books #pretendpanel

people will really say a lot of words in order to justify ignoring teams folks and reading barely veiled n4zi Romances

"Where fanfic is famously queer, the normative biases of corporate publishers are clear to see in the ships and fandoms that make it to market."

6am, Sept 24 NZ time. Still not raptured.

Happy Rapture Day to all who celebrate 💋

It was never a Monetary Policy Problem It was always a Fiscal Policy Problem aka Luxon and Willis being absolutely shit at their jobs with their slash and burn budgets that have directly sent us into a tripple dip recession Aka Depression Economics

If you’re a #BOTY fan (Bird Of The Year NZ), I have SO MANY THINGS you might like, all designed by yours truly x pepperraccoon.com #NZ #Kikorangi There might be a sneaky peek of a few new things to come soon here 👀

So: Fascism is bad The First Amendment is good Genocide is an actual fucking crime And also: It's appalling to be in 2025 where each of these is not, in fact, taken as part of the baseline shared reality anymore

No particular reason

uhhh... -looks at my bevy of queer, anxious characters who have to be convinced they're deserving of love- ... somewhat?

No new pictures, where are you at, mentally?

Education is the enemy of fascism.

I read a lot from the library, but I scoured my shelves for my favourite romcoms. I guess its fair to say these are my inspiration when I write books like Finding Tane, along with all the many romantic comedy movies I've seen 💖♥️🌸😘 #bookstack #romcom #mmromancebooks

I was there! I am not pictured but I was there!

Pressing question: are there peanuts in Middle Earth? DO HOBBITS HAVE PEANUT BUTTER???

Conservatives hate to see a gay little sweet with heat portal fantasy romance set in Aotearoa New Zealand written by a genderqueer pansexual www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

Literally nobody thinks collared priests protesting war and injustice are "intimidating' but mad props to Wilis for making them seem bad ass 🤣🤣🤣

If #TheLongWalk doesn’t get nominated for the inaugural Best Achievement in Casting Oscar, I’ll eat my f*cking shoes. www.slashfilm.com/1963191/the-...

Finding Tane has its first 5 star rating! Sweet and fluffy small town MM romance with two neurospicy leads ❤️💜 books2read.com/u/mKMvqv

Don’t worry guys he is treating us as a bottomfull ATM it’s all good you see

Anyone in Aotearoa New Zealand know if McDonald's have the tiny tan BTS happy meals in?

I accept the fact that my books are not for everyone. They're simply for cool, awesome people with great taste.

I’m hyperventilating. Our country could actually be this iconic if useless white men weren’t running it.

Just a few days left until my new contemporary romance comes out! Please pre-order if you can, I'd love to get these neurodiverse boys an orange bestseller banner on release 🙏 books2read.com/u/mKMvqv

Undies, undies, undies, togs.

this is really, really well-written and important. it is about a teen dying by suicide after confiding in ChatGPT, though, so be warned

We won't stop until they stop ✊🏽 East LA

why can't the democrat messaging on trans people be "no, we are not going to force children to undergo genital inspections in order to play sports"

A not so gentle reminder that we are never here for "that anti-queer-hate is because [whoever did the queer-hate] is closeted!" You don’t get to sweep it away as anything less than hate from the powerful aimed at the marginalized, and you definitely don’t get to absolve the nonqueer majority.

After work today I had a lie down and read Four Years And Today by Jamie Sands @jamiedsands.bsky.social which was a lovely short read which had me exclaiming in happiness in several parts. On the bus ride to work this morning I read some more of Angelika Frankenstein Meets Her Match by Sally Thorne

They're actively targeting creators who call in & banning them, making it even more important to call if you're a customer & not a creator Tell them they shouldn't be dictating how you get to spend the money you put your blood, sweat, and tears into earning

You'll probably have to blow it up or look at this on a big screen, but here is how anyone can make a little 8 page zine that they can use to write a story, write about their favorite things, a personal experience or make a mini comic. Fold some paper and get your thoughts out there!!
