Aro Park fig tree season 👌

My kid is going on his first date 🥹

become ungovernable

I wrote “I hope this email finds you” and then forgot to finish it before sending.

This is SO not cool. Te Tairāwhiti is treasured whenua and should not be the launch point for assistance to the US military industrial complex. Profiting from weapons proliferation while so many live in war/poverty is, frankly, evil. www.rnz.co.nz/news/top/542...

Share this far and wide. We need as many people as possible turning up to this event and showing Aotearoa that we stand against extremist violence in our communities.

I think at this point, it’s fine to start smoking.

An extremist group stormed a library event, during which toddlers were locked in a room for their safety, and ‘protestors’ allegedly assaulted teens. They did this after public, escalating calls for violence against trans people. In response, HRC published this: tikatangata.org.nz//news/rainbo...

This is a terribly weak statement from the NZ Human Rights Commission. I'm not surprised, but given the significant uptick in online, and offline violence against the GLBTIQA+ community, this PR is near useless at holding the line. tikatangata.org.nz/news/rainbow...

The lesbian survival show is going full horror and I’m loving it 🔥

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Incredible stuff in here: They ID'ed him, in part, by going to court hearings and watching him post

My cat Yule has started GROWLING at couriers etc when they approach the house. I’ve never seen anything like it from a cat! He’s huge, very protective of me, and a bruiser in general so the whole thing is 🤌 😂

This has been up ALL DAY and still reads "If passed into law, the bill’s advocates say, it would give power back to consumers," Who are these advocates? You will never know and fuck you for asking. Also while you're here we need money.

🚨 Pleased to share my latest opinion piece! Here I unpack what’s going on with Aotearoa New Zealand’s online safety Code and why the Human Rights Commission was right, the Code is not fit for purpose – particularly when it comes to gender-based violence. theconversation.com/online-viole...

As folks (myself included) point out the complete lack of Police enforcement or preventative measures, we should be mindful that Tamaki will now let his followers take the fall for him, as he has always done.

In 2005, peace activists did a peaceful protest against the Iraq War at the Australian Embassy that involved someone dressing up in a kangaroo suit and handprints in red paint. The gates were open, people just wandered up to the building, did the protest and left.

Neo-Nazi terrorist and convicted mass murderer Anders Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011, cited this same Napoleon quote in his manifesto.

While every politician is battling to have the most scathing reckon about an incident in which teenage girls were assaulted by groups of grown men storming a library, it would be fantastic for ANYONE - especially politicians - to focus on the actual guardrails we have and why they weren't used.

Violence against the GLBTIQA+ community today in Auckland was sadly inevitable given what I studied. Unfortunately, no one from Auckland Pride reached out, even though others did. There's a clear *causal* link between what was said, and done. If unchecked, this inflammatory rhetoric risks homicide.

Destiny Church know full well that they're terrorising a room full of children. They don't care. Can we finally start calling it what it is? www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

I want to be really clear that Tamaki's rhetoric has been measurably increasing in the last few weeks, which extremism researchers have noticed and contacted Police about. This is shocking but should not be a shock. This was signalled, clearly building and (in my opinion) plainly incited.

To be clear, I'm not in the 'never repeat disinfo, even to point it out' camp, but this is incredibly poor form from The Herald. They shouldn't have gone to Brian Tamaki for comment in the first place, let alone block quote his provably false rhetoric that defames an individual and harms others.

Journalists - you do not have to pad out your articles with Brian Tamaki's violent, defamatory quotes. You can simply report that he used social media to spread false allegations and bigotry, and cover what that has led to.

The Gerry Adams disclaimer at the end of every Say Nothing episode, each heavily featuring a young Gerry Adams, is just 🤌

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.

The Free Speech Union (FSU) has the NZ Law Commission's Hara ngākau kino Hate crime consultation paper in its sights, & launched a new campaign against it. The website has 6 fear-mongering frames that result in pre-written text filling a submissions template. It's very dangerous disinformation.

Social media posts incl. video of Sunday's "sermon" by the individual pictured *directly, & explicitly* target Pride events this year, & the Queen St. parade by name. The threats, incl. those in comments emboldened by bully pulpit speech acts, are v. violent, specific, & need to be taken seriously.

My husband got a tote bag that says EAT PREY LOVE 😂
