I actually am an avid reader, but I am also pro-human rights in all it's forms: anti-racist, pro-LGBTQA+, and so much more. I'm a NZer. Pro-community. I've been an ESL teacher and I am back in NZ still in education

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

"I thought there would at least be some sort of analysis being done by each of those ministers to determine 'this impacts workers within my portfolio area, what does that actually mean?” “they've just discarded people's roles and jobs and treated them with the utmost disrespect," #nzpol

speaking with such moral clarity, exposing the deep moral and political failure of mainstream media and politics and their dehumanizing disregard in the face of what is happening in Gaza m.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1W...

Their budget takes from your kids’ school lunch to pay for a billionaire’s third vacation home. They aren’t cutting waste. They’re cutting you.

🚨Greta Thunberg upon landing in Paris: "They tried to make us watch all kinds of propaganda videos, but I didn't watch. This is nothing compared to what is happening in Gaza, which is in desperate need of humanitarian aid."

"Reasoning", "thinking" etc all part of the same grift as the phrase "artificial intelligence". A machine that generates the aesthetics of human language without the substance cannot actually perform human cognition www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I'm just a simple country conflict tracker but someone once told me attacking a neutral flagged civilian vessel in international waters was a grave crime against the international community that only Iran-backed Houthi terrorists would stoop to

A colleague pointed out that if the Regulatory Standards Bill passes, it would give Seymour power over New Zealand without any oversight, and any prime minister we put into place would be powerless - a puppet. THIS is why we are trying to stop that bill. www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

This is so disappointing. This could have been the beginning of real power sharing, instead it's more colonial control. I'm Pākehā (white person) Tāngata Tiriti (able to live here because of Te Tiriti o Waitangi) and I feel really taumaha about this (a heavy sadness in the gut).

Well what happened today in Parliament makes complete sense when you realize bullying and subjugating Māori was core tenet of the coalition agreement. Every policy every budget decision leads back to that.

Meanwhile, baristas are still struggling to pay our bills or get shifts properly staffed to keep up with customer demand. And our CEO still commutes to work from California to Seattle via private jet for some reason.

Historical aside: Ruth Richardson became a life member of the Mont Pelerin Society after her infamous run as Minister of Finance in NZ. Deeply, unapologetically committed to the cause of reshaping the state to naturalise markets at the centre of all things, regardless of harm caused.

Liberalism is supporting the violence that social inequality requires, but wanting that violence to be hidden from view.
