paris proves it: when we stop designing cities for cars and start designing them for people, the air clears, the streets come alive, and life gets better. less smog, more green. less noise, more joy. fewer fumes, more kids playing safely. this isn't some hippy dream, it's a choice.

I am a feminist. I fight for rights. I'm not a feminist so as to tell other women what to wear, believe nor how to live. I fight for your right to an education, vote, work or not work, to safe housing, food and water. If you aren't working to takes rights off people, I won't fight against you

Look this is easy to solve. We build a consensus coalition that includes AOC, Mitt Romney, Tankies, and Wine Moms. Then something Constitution. We get Gal Gadot to sing “Give Peace a Chance” with the guy in Ramy. We all get off social media and put $1 trillion into mutual aid. Erasing this.

I'm looking into ethical kiwisavers. This article was updated last year in September. But, many of these ethical companies invest in Microsoft and FB. But I don't want to invest in them, either. This is a hard search. www.moneyhub.co.nz/ethical-kiwi...

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

Last weekend, Destiny Church escalated its attacks against the queer community. Destiny wants to drive queer New Zealanders back into the closet. PAPA won't let this happen. We stood for queer liberation as No Pride in Prisons and we stand for it now.

What I have noticed over the years is that the right will use a gender or race traitor to dismantle the services that traitor's gender or race most benefits from so the right can say that they aren't sexist or racist bc someone from that group agrees with them

So true. I remember saying proudly to my dad that one day I wanted to be self-employed like him as I didn't like many of the bosses I'd had by then. He went on a rant on how bosses provide jobs and I should be glad to have one.
