Wow, looking at houses on trademe these days, the rooms all have AI furniture 😫 what fresh stepford wives hell is this

Re the canvas hack but also *gestures wildly*

Our kids leave for overseas for the better pay and working conditions, leaving NZ without a crucial workforce, meantime National is out here gutting pay equity, gutting fair pay agreements, gutting health, slashing superannuation - and giving their landlord and oil mates all our money and land.

I've also written up an analysis on the implications of these findings for MPs: The report must be a wake-up call to politicians. Decisions around cost-sharing and managed retreat may be unpopular, but kicking the can down the road is an abdication of responsibility. newsroom.co.nz/2026/05/07/t...

Made a comment on an RNZ article on Facebook yesterday - almost 600 likes! I had no idea there was so much engagement. I thought Facebook was pretty dead!!

Counterpoint: I hated Latin at school, but now I love that it occasionally gives me a little clue in science, and in so many other languages. It's like a secret superpower 🤯

We must stand in solidarity with Jews being attacked by antisemitic criminals and terrorists: no ifs or buts. We must stand in solidarity with Palestinians being murdered by the Israeli government: no ifs or buts. These are not contradictory positions. They are consistent ones. 🧵1/5

Woop woop!! 🙌🙌

Wait, what bike events are these?? www.rnz.co.nz/news/communi...

Love this! Reminds me of what Jono Ridler said - one day we will be able to say, "Remember how bad it used to be?" (Not "Remember how great it used to be", which is where we're heading atm)

Wouldn't it be great if we could have half-price (or free!) rides on the CRL once it opens, so people have a chance to get to know it!

Imagine if we could use Phase 1 and 2 to assist people to test out how "other modes" could work for them eg free public transport for children during the week to find alternatives to get to school, pop up bike lanes, stalls at every shopping mall to help people get the PT apps on their phones.

So some people really sleep in their bra? I always thought that was a TV thing

Now, nearly 500 scientists are working to map real pathways to keep 1.5°C within reach, from policy and finance to technology and global cooperation. The science is not the gap anymore. The gap is political will and enforceable action.

What does ethical remembering require of us in the context of Anzac Day? Here are 10 aspects of WW1 that we should remember. If you would like to read or listen to the full text of this article please visit: peaceactionwellington.wordpress.com/2026/04/19/w...

Wow, it's so nice outside, what is this?

Biked from work in Mt Eden into town to drop off a dinner at daughter's work, then to the peninsula for a meeting (motorway chocka), now catching up on messages, then will bike home after. Could have never done this in a car. Bikes are freedom! And you bump into mates on the way, too 😊

Go @juliefairey.bsky.social! Great stuff ✊️

Perfect, have been waiting to read a GA analysis of this!! And quick, too 💛

OK, now the wind has arrived!!

I sometimes think about my family's history of cars. My great-grandmother was the first woman in her town to have a car. So we are now five generations of drivers. My grandma drove a Mercedes for decades. 1/3

I'm only catholic-adjacent but yes, I'm there

Incredible!

NZFirst is a party whose name sounds much less benign if you substitute any other country in. You see America First, Germany First, Britain First, it conjures a particular image. Maybe we shouldn't allow ourselves to become so desensitised to the nationalism in our own backyard. #nzpol

POSTPONED Sorry whānau, this event has been postponed until April 18 due to the approaching cyclone! Please RSVP at the link to get all the up-to-date info 💚

!!!!!!!

These people are ghouls

This is a big misunderstanding. During this ceasefire I’m still allowed to kill you and your allies. You allow us gasoline so our country can continue operating. I am good at diplomacy and widely viewed as the serious one.

Trump is threatening to eliminate the people of Iran overnight. Years of normalizing genocidal rhetoric and mass violence has brought us to this cataclysmic moment.

West Auckland you should come to this xx Tickets here www.greens.org.nz/gle_fr_260411

Oh no you're teaching the crocodiles existential anxiety alright 😳

This planet — with all its troubles — is worth caring for. That should be our single purpose, as a species: To be stewards of this magnificent world, ensuring it thrives long into the future.

I feel this way sitting on planet earth. The thing is: borders are stupid and nobody wants to accept it but it is. We should prioritize safeguarding our planet (ecosystem, flora, fauna, animals) and the people (no matter who they are) but we prioritize year on year profit growth (a made up thing).

It's posh people full stop for me

This is so important! There is no hurry to adopt this crap

I think Greens usually poll higher among women than men, no? This is interesting. Maybe the dudes are alright 💚

Where are the cookers? Where are the people with the "I will not comply" hats?

YES THANK YOU for raising this, I am still so mad about it. The occupation field??? None of anyone's business! Yes this is an obvious change to make. AND we need to have dedicated staff (such as at the library) to help fill in the paperwork, to make sure it's all correct and will be counted.

No wonder the aliens are not coming to accept us into the Galactic Federation 😭

Can attest: really love ly fit!

Be on your guard, New Zealand. Right wing governments love a crisis. It gives them an excuse for austerity and asset sales. #nzpol #oilcrisis #shockdoctrine

Woop woop

Just provide free healthcare. You don't need three free GP visits if you're well, but if you need them and more, you should be able to go. To each according to their need! But good to see a "targeted capital gains tax" - we're on the right track, the door is open a crack, let's put a foot in it!!
