David Harvey is wrong to say InternetNZ only recently "started to adopt a social justice position ...rather than technical position that it used to have". Same INZ goal on how to ensure An Internet for All in Aotearoa NZ thru better connections as before #NZpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

6 months ago my 7 year old daughter did not enjoy reading on her own. Then she discovered these books about dragons. Tonight she finished BOOK 15, the series finale. They are ~300 pages each. I am blown away by this feat and very proud of her. Also now she loves dragons which makes me happy 💚

#ToitūTeTiriti 🫡 Max Harris 🎯 points, then "One of the most repulsive parts of TPB is the way in which it has been used as an ugly vehicle for trying to deceive NZers about the meaning of te Tiriti o Waitangi. And I don't use the word 'deceived' lightly." 48m 50s www.youtube.com/watch?v=uekMNa5sw0w

I would be 1,000× more interested in any media platform that Alice worked for, she is consistently one of the most insightful, funny, engaging people in rugby. I can't think of many better people to cover RWC 2025 in England and help make it a gamechanging tournament - check her out: alicesoper.com

If the literal world cup organisers aren't flying people like Alice Soper to the tournament, they're missing a trick. How do you engage fans? Engage the content creators!!! This is who we want to see on TV panels.

Mildly amusing: this Aussie dude got fed up with people parking in his driveway so he installed a motion-activated sprinkler.

If NZ Govt expands #CitizensArrest powers as Destiny Church's Brian Tamaki says, will #LGBTQ+ community allies will try to arrest ManUp guys while they attempt to arrest us at drag shows? They're big but we have more people. Is this what Goldsmith wants? #NZpol www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Anyone know of entry-level comms roles for a super-bright, diligent and socially aware graduate who's itching to get her teeth into a project with potential for positive change? Remote work, contracting is fine.

Hey NZ / #Kikorangi, the very not actually Free Speech Union is lobbying its members to sign up to Internet NZ, and we need to do the same to ensure that organisation doesn’t get dominated by loonies. You can sign up here: internetnz.nz/membership/ (it does cost a wee bit)

Last week we released 18 #takahe to start a new population in the Rees Valley, near Queenstown, NZ. There will be challenges, but it's an exciting step towards establishing self-sustaining wild populations, and a great example of collaborative #conservation. www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r...

Was feeling sad watching Efeso’s mural being painted in Manukau & across the road, I started chatting to the good peeps at the Manukau Bike Hub and checking out their refurbished bikes for sale. I shared that growing up, solo bike rides were my freedom, but I haven’t ridden a bike for maybe 15 years
