Embarrassing for 'journalism'! Go get Tania's real books, everyone. #pukapuka #nzlit @taniaroxborogh.bsky.social

Bombing on Christmas. Yeah that tracks for the dude who gave himself a madeup Fifa Peace Prize.

This deserves all the reshares in the world 🫶.

"Growing Up in NZ: Longitudinal Study" says ~ 15% of 8YO participants are neurodivergent with differences like autism, ADHD, dyslexia, learning delays, FASD, epilepsy or Tourette's. 5YO Aidhan is just another kid, no worse than many MPs' kids. Let him stay! #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Am LOVING this book - Colleen Maria Lenihan's debut, 'Kōhine'. #nzlit #pukapuka #aotearoabooks huia.co.nz/products/koh...

Every now and then, I go through my 45 years' worth of diaries, reread them and recoil (with occasional empathic pangs for past self), and rip them to shreds to feed the worm farm. Did a rough rip of 1988 a few months ago and am now regretting forgetting this rip. It'll make great vermicast tho' 🪱🌻

Good news ecology story! Schöni Wiehnachte! (Merry Christmas in Swiss German... I lived in Zürich for a bit). 🌲🐹 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

#nzpol Yup

All true. For years, I'd work 8.30-4pm then walk the dog then eat whatever my partner made for me then start planning and marking from 8.30-11pm four times a week then half+ a Sunday was more planning and marking for the week ahead. This year has been better but... www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

The Sikh religion and wider culture will unambiguously: - feed you when you are hungry - give you clothes/blankets when you are cold - shelter you when you are homeless - organise a doctor when you are sick Their selfless generosity is legion. Brian Tamaki is really out-of-line and dangerous.

Sooo cute (as well as important)!!

"I don't misunderstand him. I see him." Exactly. #nzpol

That fascist dollar is so very hard to resist.

If you love poetry in one way and another, subscribe to @paulajoygreen.bsky.social NZ Poetry Shelf 💗👏🌸.

This Pasifika housing initiative in partnership with manawhenua Ngāti Toa Rangatira is every kind of awesome 👏. www.rnz.co.nz/internationa...

Yeah, fk gen AI. Such a death trap. Bring back, I dunno, fully stocked libraries and specialist librarians (incl. children's ones), pencils and butcher paper, daydreaming, microfiches... from the top to the bottom of our heads.

I am a big fan of Serie Barford - the person and the poet - and have just ordered her latest collection, 'Standing on my Shadow'. For an illuminating and heart-expanding experience, listen to Emile Donovan's interview with Serie recently: www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro... #anaherapress #nzpoetry

An excellent article explaining the importance of social media posters using Alt text for images: manningkrull.com/digital-phil... Ngā mihi @jennykaynz.bsky.social for helping me realise why I need to be consistent. 🫶

Āe #nzpol

I'm proud of the kiwisaver company I shifted to for their social and environmental investment ethics - this donation to help tamariki learn to swim is also admirable. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609... #simplicity #learntoswim

Bollocks journalism. This is an infuriating and educational thread.

Tory says it best.

I really hope Golriz gets left alone in 2026. She suffered more than enough. #nzpol

Probs shouldn't have been driving when I heard this news today. As others have noted, law enforcement criminals should be held to the highest standards & their sentences should reflect that. 9 mo at home is a grave injustice considering the victims. Police privilege is hard to stomach.

We should be supporting the Jewish community and working to combat anti-semitism. But some in power are instead spewing misinformation and conflating peaceful pro-Palestine marches with the horrifying attack. We can call out anti-semitism without suppressing the call for a Free Palestine

Totally totally agree

FB too.

Really enjoying this debut poetry collection by @at-the-bay.bsky.social - Maggie! Such generous, nostalgic and sexy poems - well done! #thecubapress

Australian here 👋 Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work. There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996. We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

The prince 🐶 and the monarch 🦋

Another mass shooting, this time at Brown. 2 dead, 8 injured. MAGA & Corporate media waiting to ID the shooter but we know the drill •Immigrant—> Expand ICE •Muslim—> Expand Muslim ban •Black—> Expand prisons & police •White—> Troubled lone wolf with rough childhood And still 0 action on gun safety

Goes with my previous repost #nzpol

Absolutely #nzpol

#nzpol My thoughts exactly

Okay I was not participating earlier but this in particular. You'll never guess what happens when one side is enthusiastic about repealing and replacing things and their opponents prioritise stability. You just have no way of knowing how that could pan out.

Sudden vom in mouth. Just fire us all already. F off.

NZ's 12 weeks of school holidays being one of the highest in the OECD is wrong: www.oecd.org/content/dam/... "The total length of school vacations averages around 14 weeks per year, ranging from less than 11 weeks in Costa Rica and Denmark to 17 weeks in Greece, Latvia and Lithuania."

This is an excellent statement from Marama Davidson and the Greens, which puts the focus where it should be, on the victims of violence, instead of on the reputations, careers, and feelings of perpetrators. #nzpol
