Quelle surprise. Of course it didn’t, it’s light weight. In NZ you can assault a woman and get a top job, you can get given the Chair of a committee if you spread salicious gossip about women & she gets hounded out of town. Women lose jobs and promotions for complaining about SA. #nzpol #rapeculture

Seymour yet again finding a way to enshittify school lunches "Mila described the move to tie funding to attendance as "disgusting". "To have the Government take the school lunches programme and try to make it a carrot for attendance.. it's just terrible."" I agree, Mila, I 💯 agree #nzpol

Stream is happening soon I just had a last minute panic about my outfit. It won't be this but what will it be (sorry for the delay)

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

alright, live with some Absolum! at home for the "holiday" and can't travel due to health.. trying to raise a couple bucks to see me through for incidentals/entertainment/etc while the partner is out pull up! it's gonna be scuffed but fun! !tip, don't give bezos money

1/200 S2E174 - Te Pāti Māori Korero If you're not involved in Māori politics there's a good chance you haven't known what to make of the conflict in Te Pāti Māori We spoke w/ @tautokai.bsky.social about the history, underlying issues, & paths forward w @l11p.bsky.social @kyledchurch.bsky.social

"To the medical community, we urge all our colleagues to resist the move toward authoritarianism over our work" I'm reminded of this statement, from the AMA Code of Medical Ethics 2002-03: "In exceptional circumstances of unjust laws, ethical responsibilities should supersede legal obligations."

Statement from Te Ohu Rata o Aotearoa (Māori Medical Practitioners Association) expressing its condemnation of the banning of puberty blockers by the NZ government.

If you’re over the garbage behaviour from many of our ministers, join me and Louisa Wall to present our combined petitions to @maramadavidson.bsky.social on Tuesday Dec 9th. It’s time to call on our Prime Minister to uphold Ministerial Codes of Conduct and demand accountability. #nzpol

It’s not enough that Gazans have been stripped of their land, their homes, and a lifetime of hard work even education has been taken from them. Education was the one thing Gazans held on to the most; our parents sold everything they owned so we could learn.

This is a great video & also works thru a tonne of the stuff driving the biggest episode of psychosis I've experienced in adult life a couple of years ago. Unsurprisingly I've also been writing stuff on this topic and I think Lily has done a really good job here www.youtube.com/watch?v=gStj...

People who understand these things: what is it that makes news outlet suddenly published a flurry of article articles about how the current Prime Minister of New Zealand might need to be someone else very soon? Is it a press release? Is it gossip? What’s the Genesis of this kind of chatter?

Guillermo del Toro's There's Something About Mary

a party here actually needs to run aggressively against US interests here and specifically with a promise to kick out the FBI who have absolutely no good reason to be here and getting worse

100% true. I already can't tell the difference between an hallucinating AI chatbot and the constant dishonest noises escaping from the largest hole in Luxon's face, TBH.💩🥚😒 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

Nats could switch out Luxon with an AI chatbot and no one would even notice.. #nzpol

www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic... - "The report said the council had 330 more staff than it should, based on the number of full time employees per 1000 households." This is an absolutely meaningless widget measure of council effectiveness cited by the dumbest grifters in the city.

"OnlyFans will begin requiring criminal background checks for all creators in the United States." 🚩🚩🚩 www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

Yes, despite elections literally last month, the proposal is to ditch regional councillors and replace them with a board of Mayors from regions and maybe some Crown Commissioners. They will make decisions for their regions with possible weighted population voting rights?

Thread time. These proposed local government reforms are being reported as the end of Regional Councils but actually they're probably the end of a lot of rural and smaller district councils in New Zealand. Not sure what I mean?

Landlords do not provide housing they’re in a shoddy business that offers very little protection to those who need to rent. Yeah yeah not all landlords, not all men either but lens.monash.edu/@politics-so... A great post on Instagram by Sophie Labelle. www.instagram.com/p/DRc7BI0DEZ...

Tents in Gaza were flooded today due to the rain.

More accurate headline: Deloitte receives $435k of public funds to produce a report that recommends austerity, asset selling, and AI snake-oil for Wellington City Council. #nzpol

“Little rewarded the conservative councillors who ran a self-described “campaign of disruption” throughout his predecessor Tory Whanau’s mayoralty by giving them control of four of the most powerful committees.” Labour: Women are worth it, except when it’s not politically convenient. Then hell no.

Our beautiful city has become like this

thank fuck people are finally talking about this. rushing back into exercise after covid fucked up my life for TWO YEARS. i wasn't able to do any exercise or do any kind of exertion for that long, and i had a solid fatigue that did not let up for the entire time it happened.

I have never been wise #voidmagexivart

Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

Good statement from the Greens. www.greens.org.nz/our_trans_wh...

Fucking burger probably costs half my food budget for a week 🤪👍👍

“BOT's are made up of people from the local school community, voted in by parents of children who currently attend. Like me, these parents will have seen the thoughtful changes & increased engagement, and will want this to continue due to the positive shifts that they themselves have seen.” - Dr.Bex
