Rather telling that NZ Luxon and Upston announce $6 Million towards possible Michelin stars for Kiwi restaurants while respected Lifeline cuts Mental Health services due to $2 Million funding shortfall. Priorities. #nzpol

Lifeline has been trying to get a meeting with the Minister for the past year to no avail. There's money for landlords, tobacco companies, and dodgy guys like Mike King, but when it comes to saving lives this government doesn't give a fuck #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

Right when we're all gonna need a Lifeline the most... At least the people to blame for Lifeline having their funding cut are the same people who are likely to make us ring. Let's make it so less people need a Lifeline and enroll to vote if you haven't already. #nzpol

Look NZ, we can make the change too. #Hope #NZPol

Would you think this an odd comment from someone in this position? #NZPol

When I heard Dr Nick Chamberlain on #RNZ saying that the measles vaccine is not like Covid, it's a scientifically proven vaccine... I pulled over to see what his role is... Wow, that's a strange comment to hear from the Health NZ National Director.

The story you are about to see has been told before. A lot. And now we are going to tell it again. But different. This time, we're bringing Mastodon in for the fun. Sign-ups open on November 10th. Check out secretsanta.nz for more information

Can think of few others as deserving as Siouxsie - who helped protect so many lives, & was NZ'er of the Year in 2021 - of our support now. She won legal case on truly awful online harassment/hate but remains 400k+ out of pocket. Absurd. Time to help her move forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7PB...

Kick off soon. This will be huge. It's going to be interesting to see how the states manage rugby stuff in the coming years

Hot take but I always see videos of the butterfly method go viral but I would *never* teach this method and here's why.

My cartoon in www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3502... We all knew Luxon had it in his wheel house but then Seymour & Winnie... well they've tossed their 'freedom' & 'libertarian' ways to the side. With an ease that suggested they never cared about freedom or the individual in the first place.

'Alarming gaps': WHO warns NZ to urgently close measles vaccination gap among Māori and Pacific communities

In case you wanted to know how bad it is in nz if you are disabled. This is a colonial system that punishes us for existing, it exists in this way to push us towards death instead of allowing us to live fulfilling lives. #nzpol #disability

#ITeachMaths I gave in to the '6-7' thing in maths today - I started saying 'so, which two numbers might we multiply to give 42?' And the class were quick to say '6-7'... It goes well with the dancing fact (5,6,7,8) and the sick-on-the-floor fact. Ask if you would like to know what they are!

Exciting day today. Not only is it Halloween, but my crowdfunding campaign is also live! Please support me by making a pledge and/or sharing on all your socials and with your friends, family, and colleagues. Thanks to everyone offering rewards. You rock! www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/852...

Support Dr Siouxsie - as she supported us! Lovely to see so many Kikorangi BSky artists, scientists and creatives supporting this campaign with their donations 🥰

Thousands enter second week with no power, after storms

#Fireworks #ClimateChange #wind #BanPrivateSales Surely the time is now. With our increasingly windy world, it makes no sense to allow people to buy privately and set Fireworks off whenever they feel like it?

⚠️Climate change made Hurricane Melissa four times more likely, rapid study estimates The most powerful storm in Jamaica’s history shows how climate change is increasing the economic cost, intensity, and likelihood of major storms 🧵 ow.ly/Kazp50Xke8N

Did anyone else hear Nicola Willis interviewed on about the latest destruction caused by the wind & rain around NZ? She said something like it's not like we can control what's happening with the weather. Your government has undone so many initiatives that sought to address climate change... #NZPol

Abysmal 😢 There was nothing to say that we couldn't explore other histories as well. The whole point has been to learn about our histories, warts and all.. ERO report quote will have been selected and taken out of context. Grrrr.

Utterly abysmal. #Act strikes again... how is their 6-8% support allowing so many damaging changes? Oh,that's right, #Luxon is weak. #NZPol I'm livid. Enough is enough. Stop their white washing.

Just. Ban. Fireworks. Sales. To. The. General. Public. End. Fucking. Of.

Much love and support to everyone striking today. Kia kaha! #Oct23Strike #NZMegaStrike

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can.

Morning folks! I’ve a favour to ask. I’m finally in a position to launch a crowdfunding campaign to help recover some of the money I had to spend taking my employer to court for contract breaches. If you’ve any ideas for things I could offer as rewards let me know! Or if you could offer a reward :)

Yes came here to say just that. You and Toby kept us alive. I hate that you have to fundraise for this, but tbh I’d contribute without any reward, as would so many others 💚🩷

This is so cool, and in a country as small as Aotearoa New Zealand, electric airplanes make SO much sense. Yes, I would infinitely prefer trains, and particularly electric trains (PLEASE!) but in lieu of such, replacing our domestic ICE airplanes is a no-brainer: evsandbeyond.co.nz/air-nzs-firs...

Such a disappointment and embarrassment, our stupid government...

Anyone have a lead on someone local in wellington who does laser cutting. I'm not looking for one of the big shops - i get about 3hrs of laser cutting done 4-6 times a year . I'm pretty small and am hoping to find some lovely small owner operator setup. with my CFS i can't stand at a machine & DIY

Argh! The stupid MOE have released another new maths and statistics curriculum document... or changed the changed refreshed one or something... basically, we all now need to print 60-80 pages and try to make sense of what might have changed again. Dumb. Part of why we are striking. #NZPol

It's really hard for me to see the Right Wing of politics as anything other than self over community. "Me", not "we" politics.

A quick and easy poll with space to share your views if you would like to. Please consider taking action here 🙏 #NZPol

Oh bless. Aotearoa NZ let's honour his memory!

Eek... anyone know which cancers are most prevalent in which country? Are the causes dietary, environmental, a mixture??

Erica Stanford on 1news - we've never had such great results from education change as now with the structured literacy... She is trying to take credit for the years of hard work LOTS of teachers and schools were doing before any of us had heard of her, let alone had her as Minister of Ed. #NZPol

There is 1 week to speak up about this.

Disgusting! Dishonest! We cannot allow this government to do this. #NZPol #Agriculture #AnimalWelfare www.rnz.co.nz/programmes/t...

#MathsToday First say with a student in my class today, he went about working out 7x5 by saying that'll be 2 lots and 2 lots and 1 more lot. He got 28 quite quickly but then went to add 14 more. I mentioned that I can teach him some other ways. Looking forward to tomorrow!
