tulips have been blooming at the Botanic Garden here in Pōneke. i love the vibrant colours. #bloomscrolling #photography
a group of five tulips in a garden. four of them are bright yellow, and the tallest one is creamy-white. all have green leaves. there's also some dirt and other foliage in the background. in a garden, a single bright red tulip with each petal edged in white. it stands tall and slightly leaning to the right. there is other foliage beneath and some hedging behind.

last election, most of our media did little actual investigative journalism, ignored lots of red flags and empty promises, and basically helped NACTNZF bullshit their way into government. looking at some of the subpar reporting and opinion recently, it seems they really wanna do it again. #nzpol

I think the Mata poll showing a surge in support for the Greens among Māori voters signals a structural shift as millennials/Gen X Māori rapidly outnumber the older population. This shift was emerging 10 years ago, and for the foreseeable Labour/Greens/and TPM will roughly share support in thirds

i feel most autistic in therapy. like when i'm asked a question and need time to think about all the ways i could answer. but time's ticking away and the therapist is waiting so i anxiously say some words only to instantly regret it and also then get another question i need time to think about. 1/3

53 years ago, hip-hop was born at a back-to-school party in the Bronx. Now, the Bronx School of Hip Hop is preparing a new generation of artists to shape what comes next. I sat down with Nas to talk about the past, present, and future of hip-hop in NYC — from the turntables to our classrooms.

Meeting our Paris commitments is written into our Free Trade Agreements with the European Union and the United Kingdom. Farmers and exporters rely on that market access, and they deserve a Foreign Minister who checks what withdrawal would put at risk before he promises it.

Right now, the richest pay $9 in tax for every $100 they make, while a teacher pays $22. The Greens would give 96% of earners an income tax cut, paid for not by cuts to public services, but ensuring the super wealthy pay their fair share.

That these 2 guys can dismiss the book as 'business as usual' tells us a shitload about their warped perspective on NZ politics and the infiltration of lobbyists. It also insults their listeners, who care deeply about the influence of corporate money, esp when it's ramping up racism and dividing us

I assume anyone who points out how small the trans population is doesn’t know any trans people & I guess that’s what it takes to care? Because if you know even ONE trans person, like a person in your life, how can you think about that person and conclude it’s okay if they get thrown under the bus?

the lovely yellow flowers of the Aeonium 'Schwarzkopf' succulent #bloomscrolling #photography
Lots of bright yellow star-shaped flowers fill the frame. This (sort of) pyramid of blooms grew up out of a single rosette of the succulent, which is a deep reddish-purple colour - there are a few of its shiny leaves, bottom right. The blurred background includes some small pebbles, bottom left, and some purple daisies and greenery, top right.

Transphobia is a losing strategy. If you’re telling trans people to eat shit for the cause you either know this and want cover for your own transphobia or you don’t know this and think it’s morally acceptable to mark some bodies and lives for death in the name of expediency. Fix your hearts or die.

"Gravity" by Remedios Varo depicts an ethereal figure manipulating a suspended globe and string, poised within an angular, surreal interior. Varo's unique blend of magic realism and scientific exploration is evident in the painting's intricate details and dreamlike atmosphere, reflecting her fascination with alchemy and mystical themes.

The clear visor of the helmet, which is tinted similar to a pair of sunglasses, is in the up position so Jemison's face can be seen. She is looking at the camera and smiling. McDougle appears to be fastening something to the suit. She is wearing an orange jumpsuit, and seen in profile.

Once again, Winston Peters and the government have actively chosen to be useless on Israel. We deserve better. The Palestinian people need better.
Tile with a quote from Asher Wilson-Goldman, Dayenu spokesperson, reading "Winston Peters has once again prioritised Israel over human decency by opting out of this UK-led statement against settlement expansion."Tile with a quote: "New Zealanders have the right to expect more from our government. Opposing genocide isn't a 'nice to have', it's a basic cornerstone of a decent society. 

Time and time again, the Government has taken only the smallest token opportunities to criticise Israel's behaviours - banning visits from settler leaders who had no intention of ever coming here. 

Winston Peters, Christopher Luxon and the rest of the government need to do the decent thing - expel the Israeli ambassador, introduce real sanctions, recognise the Palestinian state and speak out against genocide."
