Went and found a nice spot for lunch today, to remind myself that really, we are surrounded by beauty.

Looking for trees to take to a #bonsai meet-up and coffee tomorrow. This little lonicera nitida could do with some work. 🌱🇳🇿

Please follow @manaakicollective.bsky.social & share among your Kiwi followers Aotearoa. 🙏🏻 Let’s make sure no one ever gets left behind or exploited by intolerant fascist culture wars. #nzpol #Aotearoa #nz #Aroha #Love

Do you think the same education “official” (cough cough) that stuffed up calculating staffing levels for public education did the same for public health? $1000 after hour fees for NZ’ers emergency care? Erica and Reti in the firing line - surely. #nzpol #nzpolitics #NationalNotFitToGovern

Never go to war with Dolly Parton. Just don’t.

Our new parklets have been a success and I’m so glad this is working for our hospitality sector. Now imagine this all the way down Courtenay Place. Wellington will thrive. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Update on the original English Elm raft bonsai in my collection, seen here with the tree as it was after airlayering by Sean Stolp in 2018.

An update on my European Beech bonsai, in development with me for nearly 25 years now! A couple of weeks ago I gave the crown a good thinning out, removing a fair amount of ramification, basically to encourage more strength in that lower branch.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

@davideasterbrook.bsky.social I have added you to my Bluesky Bonsai Starter Pack if that's ok with you. go.bsky.app/DYttHhx

Luigi is a case study in what keeps something in the news against the best interest of oligarchs Theyve done IMMENSE work on tamping down support for him, freezing coverage on him after realizing they were stoking class war But CANNOT help themselves from being pissed LOUDLY abt Luigi being loved

Folks David Easterbrook is on Bluesky. I'll let his bonsai posts speak for themselves and with plenty of forest inspirations. Getting quite the #Bonsai ecosystem here now. 🌱🇳🇿 bsky.app/profile/davi...

Slowly waking up

A little water oak I grew from an acorn. It’s about 4-5 years old . Was going to repot this year but I think I will give it one more year. It had a hard root prune year before and has come back strong - these trees are so tough. #bonsai #tree #gardening #loveoftrees

I have made my submission on the Proposals to Modernise the Conservation System. It was big and annoying but I have flipping done it! Submissions close 28 Feb. Take a look here.

How do you deploy code to a ship or a submarine in the US Navy? @nicolefv.bsky.social (creator of DORA, co-creator of SPACE, lead author of the book Accelerate) has first-hand experience with what it actually means. Fascinating. Full episode: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wufj...

This is a brutal read and quite the legacy for the former Provost of Victoria & President of NZs Royal Society.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

As Becky said, if I walked down your long driveway and took photos of your house and put them on the internet, you’d be livid. But that’s what Google Street View has been doing. While it says it’s an “error” the scale of it is significant.

Ahh this. Was waiting for this and I’d like to see more of it.

Spruce #bonsai, i call it „Hanne“ 40 years, in training since 20 years. Got it from a lovely elderly lady.

Little Japanese Cedar is starting to shape up after resetting branches back to new buds. Once they've established a bit, I can shorten them all and then let them get dense foliage pads. Then, a lower profile pot. 🌱🇳🇿 #Bonsai

Oh look is that a two spined spider egg sack? 2 leaves up the road...yep 🌱🇳🇿

Tonight 9pm on #BHN with @xkaosmagex.bsky.social -Shane Jones in a confronting interview with Moana - Eru Kapa-Kingi and Jenny Shipley have their say on the TPB - Health NZ have gutted their leadership team of women and minorities All this and more at 9pm! See you there!

I have lodged a formal complaint with the charities regulator asking that Destiny Church’s charities be struck off because of serious wrongdoing last weekend in my Te Atatu electorate. 1/3

once again, this time for James Cameron

Couple tiny ones. Basic but these are more a test to keep alive over summer for me. Nearly at cooler days of autumn. 🌱🇳🇿 #Bonsai

THIS bears a lot of repeating. Jimmy, we get that film sets are not democracies - your forty years as the most notorious control freak in Hollywood makes the point loud and clear. But out here in the real world? You've got to play well with the other children and learn to share your toys.

If it’s not clear, offering to swap QE2 covenanted land for native forest is cynical bollocks because QE2 land is already protected in perpetuity. They want to swap land they can never use for currently protected land they can’t.
