Sometimes the glass is half full and sometimes it’s half empty. Tangata Tiriti (she/her/ia) in Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Worrying about climate change, social injustice, erosion of democracy.

Wish mainstream media had made the connection to NYC. They always insinuate green policy is craycray.

OMG have Susie and Mihi gone. I was hoping Paddy was just a fill in. Fark. Good on you for complaining. I was meaning to complain about his highly irresponsible peptide story.

Great analysis. Subject dear to my heart. My daughter was determined (after two years of MH challenges) to get Level 3. She did it on 30% attendance - great marks. Now she’s studying overseas. It was a battle then, and that was pre-Seymour. @paulapenfold.bsky.social

Be great to see an overhaul of the law on this so that names suppressed only with extremely good reason and that the victims of the crimes views are taken into account.

Glass Half @glasshalf.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Overuse of name suppression is a major problem but in this case kids involved “the man’s lawyer presented a psychological report and a letter from the man’s wife centred on the potential harms that their children would face.” I’m ok with temp name suppression while they support the kids.

Often its just name recognition in local govt politics. I think there’ll be a proportion who voted knowing nothing about his appalling antics.

The Coalition of Clowns is trying hard to disenfranchise people. Do not let them steal your right to vote. Register early, check your enrolment, talk to friends, family and colleagues, and let's send their hatred and punching down packing on November 7. #nzpol
