@rjaung.bsky.social just DMed me to celebrate this news about everyone's least favourite racistly-named trashy appropriative mediocre Orientalist pan-Asian restaurant hated by actual Asians who get dragged there for work dos by white colleagues in a 31% actually Asian city with good Asian food

And I thought the #GoblinCockWasher I once worked with was bad...

Why doesn't Head & Shoulders have a body wash called Knees & Toes?

Yes I signed this petition, shoveling this slop at our kids is unacceptable.

I bet Peter Williams would struggle to classify me as Tangata Whenua using the same criteria he uses to classify himself as Tangata Whenua. #NZPol #RacismInNewZealand #ToitūTeTirti

Project Jonah's Walkthrough Whale here and is now available for school and community visits in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland throughout 2025. The Walkthrough Whale is an unforgettable, hands-on experience where tamariki and communities can step inside a life-sized humpback whale.

If anyone is after facemasks, the Wellington City Mission shop on Taranaki Street has packs of them for free. Kn95 adults and ffp2 kids sizes.

Life behind the counter of Lower Hutt's Queensgate mall’s first Chinese takeaway. Chris Tse writes: When the food court opened in 1991 each stall was given a perfunctory name by mall management. Along with our “Asian” stall, there was “Seafood”, “Carvery”, and “Sandwiches”.

Sound familiar?: Stark has more money than God and the social conscience of a dog on a croquet lawn. What's more, they know the Earth is dying.

I hope Everyone understands Seymour drove up parliament stairs to detract from the sexual abuser that ran ACT. The sexual abuser that Seymour knew about and did nothing #NZPol

Details on the criminal status of the IRD. Gold made this Official Information request to David Seymour #NZPol fyi.org.nz/request/2961...

This security guard deserves a medal and a raise. Maybe someone should set up a crowdfunding page for them. #NZPol www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/10/s...

Shortland Street is back! This year, the TV show is working with the Play It Strange songwriting trust to highlight young songwriters and musicians; it's an exciting step. Here are some highlights from Play It Strange's first 20 years, by Dianne Swann. www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/a-p...

The Year of the Snake is a good year to #ToitūTeTirti

Remember how David Seymour said the IRD was a criminal organisation? Someone put in an Official Information Act request for "all correspondence, or any other materials, that demonstrate this to be a true claim.” The request was refused as the comments were made as ACT Party Leader. #NZPol

It's the seventh day of the Lunar New Year which means it's 人日 (People's Day) which according to legend is when humans were created so I guess it's our collective birthday. Happy Birthday Everyone 🥳

When it comes to saving stranded whales, everyone wants a Disney ending. Research shows that desire can make animals suffer. The process of saving a whale, whether in a single stranding or a mass stranding, is a mammoth effort. www.rnz.co.nz/news/thedeta...

I LOLed www.rnz.co.nz/news/te-manu...

The reality is we've got kids without food. David Seymour can say what he wants and call it teething issues, but it's not okay when I've got hungry kids. Our students deserve better than this. We will not back off. I'm not backing off. I'm accepting all media calls because it's unacceptable.

What an absolute legend. New Zealand's Dame Sophie Pascoe, retires from swimming. www.rnz.co.nz/news/sport/5...
