I am still waiting for the leadership of Australia and Aotearoa to have an honest conversation about how the US has all but blown up the post-world-war two-Western alliance. It feels like the Growth Growth Growth is displacing our security needs.

Have you read "Rilla of Ingleside" by L M Montgomery? The final #book in the Anne of Green Gables #books. It's the only Canadian novel written from a woman's perspective about World War 1 at the time. It shows USA delaying support for European allies. Like now www.gutenberg.org/files/3796/3...

If I wore a "Real Man" T-short would I be more or less believable than the Man Up guys who assaulted librarians and terrified small children at a library story time? The drag king with teaching experience who led the story time was more a "Real Man" than Destiny Church creeps! #NZpol

Napier City Council proposes to close its library for two years. Glad I don't live there. Councils can close anything else but not #libraries! People rely on #books to escape, to learn, to enjoy ideas and stories. Libraries are more than books, they're community taonga www.rnz.co.nz/news/ldr/542...

If you don't want to be in the media, wear an anti-Covid mask. It'll keep you safer + protect your health. Shoppers shouldn't need to but they can't trust staff at shops that use Facial Recognition Tech or CCTV not to breach #privacy + send photos to media. #NZpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/sorry-foo...

Audit of #NZpolice accessing case notes on death of fellow officer Fleming, found 1 in 4 had no reason to see notes. What of other cases? Can public have any trust in cops following rules? Too many cases - like senor cop hitting his kids - shows Nope. #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Anecdata by selected principals on #SchoolLunches isn't evidence of good or bad or value for money or wastage. Ministry of Education should be doing thorough audit, preferably by someone who can do maths! #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

In many countries including Australia, NZ, the UK & Canada, authors also get paid regularly for library use of their books. It’s called the Public Lending Right scheme here, though it has several names globally. It doesn’t exist in the USA, so their authors do miss out on that compensation, alas.

with destiny church's abhorrent views in the press again, i think it's important not to forget all the white megachurches that hold identical views in new zealand: life church, city impact, arise etc. they are more discreet, but they all hang out and support each other: www.webworm.co/p/holyhell

More denial of reality by US State Department? Some people with Differences of Sex Development (DSD also known as Intersex conditions) reject M or F only labels as not reflecting their biology or identity. It's bad enough to deny nonbinary people's existence, but DSD too? #USpolitics #USpol

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

ErinReed [Feb 20] -- Despite ferocious govt assault the US is queerer than ever. Gallup finds nearly 1-in-ten adults are LGBTQ+ (9.3%), nearly double 2020. Trans is up 50% to 1.3% in just 2 yrs from 0.9% in 2023. And among Gen Z, nearly 1-in-4 (23%) are LGBTQ+! [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]
