Take a bow @christchurchlib.bsky.social My teen collected her Book Bag today and she loves it! A fantastic selection of 5 library books matched to her reading preferences, some wee snacks and a personalised mini craft project. A lot of effort has gone into it, ngā mihi nui. 😊

BREAKING NEWS: Dennis!!

🌧️Heavy rain on the way for Wellington!!! If you're out an about this Saturday morning in Wellington, you may want to step inside!! A band of heavy rain is approaching, expected to make its way over Wellington within the next hour. Head to bit.ly/WellingtonRa... to track it yourself.

Such beautiful and meaningful new names for the roads I travel regularly 🙄 www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

Country Life: Farmers bitten by the bokashi bug turn waste into natural fertiliser

Does anyone have ideas/recipes for a relatively simple dessert for me to do for homegrown roast lamb dinner I'm having with little sis on Sunday? Bonus points if it incorporates black doris plums because I've got some tins of them & (more importantly) I really like black doris plums

🐦The NZ Garden Bird Survey is nearly here! Spend just 1 hour in your backyard or local park counting the birds you see. Your observations will help scientists track bird populations across Aotearoa. Be part of this important #CitizenScience project! gardenbirdsurvey.nz

Big blow for the anti-trans activists of Aotearoa NZ with the loss of Tanya Unkovich from the government. The Beehive grapevine tells me that she was the primary driver behind Winston's anti-trans views, so it will be interesting to see how his stance changes in the next year and a half.

"NZ First MP Tanya Unkovich will resign from Parliament, 1News can reveal. It's understood the surprise decision was formalised this week after careful consideration and is set to be announced publicly later today." www.1news.co.nz/2025/06/27/e...

#BusNews: From 30 June, 13 electric buses will take to the streets in Dunedin & Mosgiel. The new electric buses will be used on routes 70, 77, 78, and the new Orbus On Demand service.

Whilst the weather is a bit annoying when it's your long weekend, I'm also very glad not to be driving in it #BusDriverEd

Robin of Sherwood on Saturday nights! Hands up if you can still sing the theme song! 🙋🏼😍 #nostalgia

Extremely wholesome and short thread of library-related goodness! 😍 ^MT

Four questions museum visitors should ask themselves this school holidays www.rnz.co.nz/news/on-the-... #Hararei - we visited a few museums in Te Tai Tokerau and asked ourselves these pātai. #GLAMR

So great to hear from Golriz again ❤️❤️ www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/3...

If you like my articles, please share and subscribe! I'm shadowbanned in a lot of places and writing an article against the Iran War and mafia state is not going to help. My newsletter is my livelihood, not a hobby (even though I make it free to all!) Thanks!

The tūī that lives in my garden is in his tree this morning, holding on dear life in the gale blowing him around, but he REFUSING to let it ruin his morning songs. Got admire that tenacity.

Just one example of harassment that no longer breaches Instagram or Facebook guidelines. It’s becoming normalised and Seymour’s behaviour is contributing. Holding him to account is one step before we try and dismantle the rest of this abusive system. #nzpol our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/lu...

Episode 11 of Locked out with Craig Renney is out - I had a great conversation with Chloe Swarbrick looking at the Green Party Fiscal Strategy which was released last week. Check it out now www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I6T...

I'm officially a nominee for the upcoming InternetNZ board elections. If you were a member before the start of April you'll be able to cast your vote (for me?) from July 14. This is unlikely to be the last you hear from me about this 😁

Kua taka a roto 💔 We are heartbroken to confirm that our tuahine, MP for Tāmaki Makaurau, Takutai Moana Natasha Kemp, passed away this morning. Even as illness weighed on her, she stood firm in the House, in our homes, on our marae fighting for Māori liberation. 💔💔💔

Just liked a video on IG that probably means I'm never going to be able to travel to the US

I had a REALLY lovely time talking to @milesklee.bsky.social at Rolling Stone about why The Onion is thriving. It's because we're one of the only legacy outlets unafraid to accurately reflect the mood of this country. That mood? Everyone fucking hates this. www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

"Yeah," said Zaphod with a sudden evil grin, "you'd just have to program it to say What? and I don't understand and Where's the tea? — who'd know the difference?" "What?" cried Arthur

"Mamdani's stunning rise will serve as a rebuke to the Democratic establishment, and give hope to other progressives hoping to run in elections around the country." 🤞🤞 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Times are tough right now so passing my fundraising efforts from the last time I did Dry July will be a stretch. But hopefully together we can help those affected by that arsehole cancer. Every $20 donated to my efforts gives you a chance to win a Hue Lamp

Went for a really classy option with my chicken curry tonight 😂 #kai
