Has there been any politician in NZ history as keen on boiling children as David Seymour? This is just getting weird now. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3606...

If being autistic/ADHD and being trans are linked… so what? There is nothing intrinsically wrong with being trans or ADHD/autistic If I thought for a second that testing trans kids for neurodivergence was about making sure they got all the help they needed, I’d be all for it. But it’s not, is it?

Yesterday I had to try and assuage my husband's extreme anxiety about his knee replacement surgery today. Now he's safely in hospital I can let myself be moderately anxious about my own cataract removal this afternoon.

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of having a Minister of Foreign Affairs obsessing about stuff that's none of his business, we had one who clearly and unequivocally called this humanitarian catastrophe out? #nzpol

It’s worth following Lee for his tracking of this (and generally). If you don’t spend a lot of time flicking through physical papers it may astonish you just how many anti-trans stories they print, and how weak the spin on many of them is. It’s a relentless moral panic.

PLEASE REPOST ⬇️⬇️⬇️ is a complaint to Massey regarding Carol Hamilton. She is on a human ethics committee there while publicly mocking the distress of trans people denied basic dignity. Someone who jokes about "public execution" concerning trans people has no place evaluating ethical research.

Going to assume Martin Niemöller didn't put a line in about when they came for the toddlers with cancer because he hoped we'd have got the gist of what was going on before then.

Lots of discussion about the appropriate word for 'deporting' a citizen from their own country, and, I think, given that these men, women, and children, are being taken to unknown destinations, the most accurate word is "disappeared". They are being "disappeared" by ICE.

So this afternoon I have done the GST return and sent in a submission to the Covid Inquiry (why do I always leave these things to the last day?) and my head hurts.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Just to establish the current 7 charter schools with 210 students it's cost the taxpayer $47,619 per student. That's not even the final end of year costs. For a student in a public school they're funded a mere $9,000 per student. Is this fair? #nzpol

there are a lot of replacement-level goons in the Trump administration - swap them out with another dipshit and you get basically the same result - but Miller is personally responsible for a lot of the very worst things it does on the short list of very worst people alive

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Just to be clear, we reached the arresting-judges-and-deporting-US-citizens-without-due-process stage of the slide into authoritarianism today. And the citizens in question included a toddler and a child with cancer who needs treatment in the US.
