"...the community was taking matters into their own hands to address the recent spike in homelessness in the city after feeling failed by the government." 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Look out for each other folks #NZPol

friends you are incredible! we’ve had a big uptick in purchases the past couple days & it’s getting us *so damn close* to our goal! we’ve got 2 days & change to go; pls keep spreading the word & thank you thank you thank you ❤️ itch.io/b/2965/crips...

#MWSecretSantaAoNZ Final day for posting your gifts is the 23rd May. Please let the elves know if you are running late. The 23rd is this coming Friday. 🎄🤶🎁

Labour is the abusive political partner that always tells you “it won’t happen again” and that “they’ll change”. They keep bringing home attractive tax packages, but it turns out they’ve just bought junk on Amazon. You want to believe they’ll change, but their “friends” always matter more #nzpol

The last few years have been pretty hard & I’ve largely become a bit of a hermit. But I’ve briefly emerged to talk about the thing that’s reignited my spark - menstrual cups! Thanks to NZ Women’s Weekly and Elizabeth Easther for coaxing me out of my shell. www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/si...

Connections people get it

At the risk of being That Guy, ACC SCS is accessed by all genders and while this IS an attack on women it will also hit men and gender minorities hard. This would be a devastating blow.

I’ll remind you nearer the time … but heads up that we will be testing the Emergency Mobile Alert system on Sunday 25 May. So not this Sunday, NEXT Sunday. (And so she starts the ‘this week’ ‘next week’ debate/argument between immigrants and pākehā.The one that meant I was a week late for a bbq…😂)

The dismantling of pay equity recourse and ACC’s suggested abandonment of sexual abuse survivors aren’t coincidences - they’re deliberate, connected attacks on women under the rhetoric of “cost savings”. Different fronts, same spectrum of systemic misogyny - and it demands immediate resistance.

Guy imposes daft opinion on emotive NZ political things Gets hard ratio’d. Locks comment. Instant earned enmity of Aussie and Kiwi bluesky Whines about it Won’t understand why Aussies and Kiwis will double down because of a cultural dislike of whiners #auspol #nzpol

Yep. This is the government is completely gaslighting with their "You can still claim. Stop being so alarmist". The barriers to claim now are so high as to be almost insurmountable. And that is by design. They even kept saying the quiet part out loud by mentioning how many billions this'll save.

I already wasn't happy to see Whanau step aside to allow Little a chance. Now I know I was correct in getting the ick from him entering the race 🙃 We need transformational change not someone to try dictate how the current council should govern. Not your job yet... #nzpol

He's disabled replies but I think it's important to note that he is reporting NZers for our culture of telling people to fuck off, which is very important to us. How dare

How about we DON’T compare a Māori MP in Aotearoa performing a haka to violent white supremacists/Neo-Nazis who flew Nazi/Confederate flags while wearing hate symbols like “race war” and Camp Auschwitz shirts. Jan 6ers desire to genocide Jewish, Muslim, & nonwhite people This post is racist garbage

From the same Zionists who bring you all the hottest and most racist takes on Palestinian and Native American women, the newest available in anti-Maori!

The state of Georgia is using the body of a brain-dead woman as an incubator. Because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she died, and their abortion ban is from about 6 weeks, they are sustaining her on life support, without input from her family, until 32 weeks of gestation. A true dystopian nightmare.

As an ex saffa - wtf?!

Me: *breathes* Grok: hey have you heard about the white South African genocide that’s totally a real thing

Winston and Jones are in Dunedin today, and although there is a smorgasbord of shitfuckery that lands at their feet, it's Gaza that needs to take centre stage. Zionist Israel is no friend of New Zealand, and their crimes against Palestinians are clear with no ambiguity.

This is either interesting scientific research or the start of one incredible heist

This is much too close to home

Sesame Street is officially UNION! Workers at Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, have voted 55-19 to join @opeiulocal153.bsky.social Huge congrats to @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social! “We can officially say that today, May 15th, is brought to you by the letter U!”

This is their go-to every time they fail us. "There's more work to do". "We're working very hard". "We set ambitious targets". "We're laser focused". There's still work to do, they're just not doing it.

This is just a reminder to get your COVID and Flu vaccinations. PSA brought to you by me, with my 8th COVID-19 vaccine site feeling a little tender.

Lucy is missing in Wellington/Pōneke. She is 5'11" with bleach blonde hair. She is very vulnerable and desperately needs acute mental health care, so if you come across her, please be gentle and kind.

It's time to call bullshit on Pākehā tears and wailing about being scared of the mean Māori/Leftie/Greenie/queer/trans, claiming attack is self-defence. Enough. If you stood up for Te Tiriti, you sure as hell need to stand up for this.

Ben of Ben & Jerry’s *arrested* after confronting RFK Jr. & Congress: "They need to let food into Gaza. They need to let food to starving kids! Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza, and paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US!"

*screams into the void*

A must read!!

Saw this on FB too and love it!

Everyone in parl is talking about ‘the c word’, it’s in the news again today. Congratulations, opposition, you got roped into talking about one white woman’s tears instead of the government stealing money from hundreds of thousands of women and enforcing societal patriarchy. #nzpol

Channelled these posts into something longer, linking to the work of black feminist women and highlighting how Brooke and Nicola are performing white womanhood while simultaneously suppressing legitimate resistance to their oppressive acts: open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

To the person I'm Santa for... Don't panic, I'm getting the bits and pieces together. I am trying to DIY something. There's a good chance I'll be in the parcel because I really shouldn't be trusted with super glue. It will be made with love. Lj

What is that? A costed and vetted budget that is achievable AND gives people more services? How can that be true? Well you see there are no corporate favours and the landlords aren't getting any perks. Those perks and favours cost as much as ending child poverty friends #NZPol

This government throwing up it's hands and going "yes, jobs which traditionally have lots of women in are underpaid but you can't expect us to compare the actual work done to men, that would mean paying women what they're worth!" and thinking everyone's going to be cool with that is incredible eh

How do you say "topping from the bottom" in professional language? Eg "I was topping from the bottom because he didn't know how to run meetings"

Can we get a check in on the whole "Labour won't repeal everything National has done" thing

IEAG is hosting an event this Saturday at Berhampore School in Wellington, asking the question: "Inclusive education - are we there yet"? All details here, please share with anyone you think might be interested, and we hope to see you there. ieag.org.nz/news-and-eve...
