Wo. ‘Turns out you can have it all. So long as you’re prepared to be a c... to the women who birth your kids, school your offspring and wipe the arse of your elderly parents while you stand on their shoulders to earn your six-figure, taxpayer-funded pay packet.’ www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Happy Mother’s Day y’all 🙃 www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

God how awful. Some of our most vulnerable and who have the least have lost the most

Cherry blossom reflections, Kyoto Japan.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

When the worst person makes a good point. What an interview

Oh man, my eyesight is so shit I read this three times, each time my eyes told me the tree was taken to hospital 🤓

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

There’s so much going on here.. 😂 #Animals #Pets #Wonderful

For anyone who knows, this is a really shitty way to start the day

This petition to stop NZ First's stupid sex definitions bill has been open for nearly a week and has 1.2k signatures The hate group's petition that spawned this bill took four months to get 2.2k signatures Let's show just how little hate there is petitions.parliament.nz/cc70b2c2-cfd...

Following @pomological.xor.blue has never once disappointed 🧡

Wellington bracing for threat to life winds is the capital being more dramatic than normal. I’m on the top level of our building and watching windows struggling. Stay safe out there team 😬 www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

Ummm, I can think of one.

love reading a 12 year old girl in 1911 write a mech pilot tweet in her diary abt the experience of driving an automobile

Finally made it to Te Papa’s Vivienne Westwood exhibition and it was so good. I mean truely excellent. And why did I leave it to the last day so I can’t go back 🤦🏻‍♀️

Very painful for middle aged men when they finally realise they are not the target audience

Just thinking about Grace Petrie’s song Black Tie 💜 ‘And the images that fucked ya Were a patriarchal structure And you never will surrender To a narrow view of gender And I swear there'll come a day When you won't worry what they say On the labels, on the doors You will figure out what's yours’

I’ve just found out my dad has a nemesis and it’s the entire town of Taumarunui. Turns out it’s temperatures are always warmer than where dad lives and for some reason he takes that incredibly personally. He’s actually furious with the town.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic www.crabmuseum.org/visit 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

‘The UK judgement also erases intersex and non-binary people entirely. It offers no space for those whose bodies or identities don’t align with binary definitions. It doubles down on a model of sex that is neither inclusive nor scientifically accurate.’ thespinoff.co.nz/politics/23-...

So this was one I definitely needed to scroll through the comments to find the answer - which I’ve attached to save you time 😌

For no particular reason I just want to say I’m an absolute ally to my trans brothers and sisters and everyone else who identifies however they want. Y’all are just awesome and I have your backs 🏳️‍⚧️ 💖

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

Pope Kevin. Sure, why not

Be ungovernable

Police asking for help in search for missing Christchurch woman Rochelle Tabak

Well, this is just delightful

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a little kid

Hold on Aucklanders, listen to advice and stay safe 🧡

Just in time for Easter is a banger read on why the Defence Force spends so much time in Antarctica. The penguins know what they’ve done. Anyway, I helped write it and it would warm my heart if you wanted to read it ❄️🩵 www.nzdf.mil.nz/media-centre...

Attacking the rights of a marginalised group isn’t a win for feminism. Demanding that women be defined by our biology isn't a win for feminism. The people driving this are not acting in the interests of women. They're taking us all backwards and ushering in the far right.

if you’re feeling incompetent or useless today, just a reminder a bird thought this was a perfectly acceptable place to lay eggs you’re doing fine

So, pretty obvious RFK Jr’s never actually met a person with autism 🤨

💯 this. Why are there so many fundamentally flawed character traits of the super rich?

Last night my kid thought it best to hide and the shower and when I went into the bathroom jump out and ask if he could watch American Psycho. He did not think that plan through

I was thinking about this Joe and Tracy anecdote from the supply chain crisis on gummy bears. Things are probably going to get really weird in a few weeks in unexpected ways:

According to her family she is a middle-aged seamstress working legally while seeking asylum. But the Gvt says with no evidence she’s part of a gang that “murder, maim, rape, and terrorize Americans, while ignoring the innocent victims.” Who to believe? 🙃 www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

tariffs for canada? 10%. no 100%. no 30%. china? 10000%. no 6%. no infinity%. all of europe? 20%. 5% if they give me italy. the penguins are still at 700%. they know what they did.
