like having one of the few projects to increase the health of reo maaori literature chasing its tail like this fucking sucks

and dont get me started on how heartbreaking it is to have an amount of the few chapter books for kids in Maaori be a contributor to some rich bigot's pockets

like what the fuck are we doing with those Maaori translations of Harry Potter / was hoping it was a dead project cos the first one came out in 2020... but with the second one being released... we don't need more money going to that transphobic bourgeois

Hey there #nzbirds team - anybody know where we could find a schematic for a kākā nesting box like they use in Prince O.W. park in Wellington?

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Our information environment is diseased and is killing us, I gotta sit in the sunlight lest I rage out

The vast majority of Māori children end up in state schools and despite the current 'browning' of charter schools IMO we have a mokopunatanga responsibility to stand and fight in those spaces where Te Tiriti is breached daily. Neither system sufficiently shifts the political dial for our tamariki.

so tired of DEI for unqualified white men

IMHO, the New Zealand Police should refocus on their core public service competencies - which should never include participation n the for-profit copaganda industrial complex. Full stop. End of story. #nzpol

NZ abstaining from voting UN resolution on enslavement of Africans being gravest crime against humanity WTF was our govt thinking? Why would we not wholeheartedly support this important recognition & mahi towards justice? (rhetorical)

Have you listened to @gretchenmcculloch.com and @superlinguo.bsky.social's wonderful linguistics podcast @lingthusiasm.com? Please give it a try—and consider supporting the great work they do! Their most recent episode features @korystamper.bsky.social talking about color terms!

Friends make sure friends are enrolled to vote. And sooner the better... just me, or is there a bit of a snappy 'lection feeling in the air this year? 😬 PS Younger voters are least likely to be enrolled – so they deserve all our support and encouragement to activate their democratic powers! 🤜✨🤛

So Winston & co are worried about the fishers votes and it’s a great result but the outcry from women - 1/2 the population - on pay equity and they didn’t listen. So don’t blather on about how you listen when you didn’t on equity in health, Te Tiriti, the environment, H&S at work and ECEs…#nzpol

*cries in Aotearoan*

Everyone* driving at 80 instead of 100 would have been a 30% saving in fuel usage, we can extrapolate that out over 10+ days now *reasonable I AM JUST SAYING #NZPol

Meridian are doubling their overnight EV rates... Always exploit any crisis a seems.

Here's your periodic reminder that something like a third of all fossil fuels are burned just getting fuels to where they will be burned.

New Kākāpō Files episode is out with tons of updates and discussion about fertility. Number highlights: 99 confirmed chick hatches and 101 assumed, 92 confirmed still alive, 5 confirmed fertile eggs remaining.

New Zealand is beset with a Disappointment of Christophers

IMHO, Alfred Ngaro is a staunch zionist who supports Israel as it commits genocide and ethnic cleansing to achieve its unlawful land grab goals. In 2018 he launched the NZ-Israel Parliamentary Friendship Group at the Beehive. And he's 'chair' of the astroturf: Indigenous Coalition For Israel.

#NZpol So, RW ultra Christian Nationalist (be honest about it, that's what we're dealing with) Alfred Ngaro, ex National, ex Christian Party of his own, has joined NZ First? Winston's really firming up a NZ MAGA movement alright, from the antivaxxers, to conspiracists - now a leading God Squadder.

March madness little music #2 youtube.com/shorts/UpRa_... #originalmusictracks #synthsky #musicsky

This Anzac Day 2026 join the hīkoi for peace. As we stand at the precipice of global war and climate breakdown, now is the time to stand up against war, fascism and ecocide across the globe. Meet at Waitangi Park Saturday, 25 April from 2pm. A peace concert will follow on our arrival at Pukeahu.

oh and OF COURSE no reporter *reported* on the fact that Ngaro is a director for 'indigenous coalition for israel' - a pro-genocide group that is at the fringe of even far right pro-israel groups in NZ why do we think media haven't raised this Israel connection?

is it good that nz media shoved Peters' faux economic populism to the forefront of their coverage, while covering - but not critiquing - Peters' use of antisemitic tropes like "globalist"? One could be forgiven for thinking that nz reporters are pro-fascist for the extent to which this has occurred

and so have the press gallery, conveniently enough

NZ Fin. Minister Willis announces new plan to end oil crisis. "We are today announcing a name change to The Cook Strait. It will now be "The real Staight of Hormuz." "As tankers arrive we will distract them with meat pies, fish and chips and strong cannabis, while we steal their oil." #nzpol

Nicola Willis needlessly travelling to Marsden Point just to announce nothing perfectly encapsulates their fuel crisis response so far. #nzpol

KAWERAU DISTRICT 3X MORE SENSITIVE TO OIL PRICE SHOCKS THAN THE NATIONAL AVERAGE MR SHANE JONES WHERE IS OUR ELECTRIFIED RAIL LINE

God this is so good please let it happen

In light of the news that Ngaro will be standing for NZ First at this years election, I'm taking this 2023 article out from behind the paywall. Ngaro previously led the Christian Nationalist Party 'NewZeal' after leaving National www.feijoadispatch.nz/p/the-christ...

How dare the media just regurgitate NZF PR without context. Winston Peters says whatever will garner votes. A trawl through the unkept promises, blaming coalition agreements, the putting donors ahead of NZ best interests. NZF is a misnomer, it’s Winston and his donors first.

Currently taking bets as to whether we are locking down fuel tomorrow OR if the gov is going to go full “wartime effort” on deploying solar panels and wind turbines, conscripting those turning 18 to work in the solar and wind fields wiring up the panels and building sand batteries. 🇳🇿
