Some bloody good news #banbottomtrawling #attenborough

Line dancing?? Ok now I can see why they sent the army in…

LA has officially crossed the 'tweets-to-spreadsheet' police brutality Rubicon

Meta just keeps getting worse. So glad I'm not with that evil shittery anymore.

Fascinating analysis. P.S. check out the comments for the kumara I harvested today - best yet! theconversation.com/your-smartph...

What if we evaluated new technologies based on their symbiotic relationships with sustainable human society? Could we strive to support the most mutualist technologies over more parasitic technologies and build policy around such distinctions?

“..in making claims retrospective & under urgency, without consultation with 100’s who’ll be affected, let alone allowing officials to provide a RIS, the coalition Govt is complicit in pulling together a dirty little deal that saves it billions while denying working women their day in court #nzpol

Not fun to know

Uncle John Campbell has been investigating Destiny Church and is dropping a five part series about what he found out. Probably worth a watch, with anti-nausea medication.

There is still only 1 (one(I)) site reporting that mark mitchell is using his instagram to publicize deranged racist conspiracy theories about a Te Paati Māori MP. Compared to how many fucking stories that were run about Benjamin Doyle's instagram where nothing was even wrong anyway.

The shifting grief of dads "dead at the moment". Beautiful, funny writing that squished my heart. www.1news.co.nz/2025/04/21/i...

Haaa!!

Hapū and iwi volunteer legends!

Issue 4 of Circular magazine features stunning poetry, short stories, flash fiction, an essay and art on the theme of Climate. I'm reading it slowly to the sound of unwinded rain. Highly recommended. www.circularpublishing.co.nz/issues/climate #circularmagazine #nzlit #climatefiction #clifi

Thx Tash - precisely. #nzpol

Fiction as an antidote for authoritarianism. "In the most basic way, writing is about opening yourself to another person’s mind. The most intimate thing I do on a daily basis is pick up a book and open myself to another person.” - Katie Kitamura www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...

Oh what a night! #supergroove #rubydu #kingkapisi #troykingi #poneke

Lolz!

How shameful that Prime Minister Christopher Luxon didn’t bother fronting up to the funeral of David Seymour’s wet dream. Not only did our PM not attend, but neither did our Deputy PM, Nikki No Boats or Chris Bishop. SHAME on the entire ruling Government! #nzpol #ToitūTeTiriti #Aotearoa #NZ

I have a wee chapbook of poems coming out in a couple of months - 'A stoic recovery of disordered seasons'. Wish I could say with any confidence the title's prophetic! #walleahpress #nzlit #poetry
