Anyway. Love a good restorative solution.
"Judith Slaying Holofernes," by Artemisia Gentileschi, famously raped and then dragged through a traumatizing trial after the fact, only to make a painting (this one) that shows EXACTLY how she'd have preferred to deal with the problem

Charlatans. “Naturopaths” are out there facilitating the rapid deaths of cancer patients. Every school of “naturopathy” should be shuddered and their licenses revoked. If they can’t hack med school or aren’t interested in being physicians let them dig ditches, or graves, as it were. Criminals, all 🧵

I am tired of having to pretend that the value of studying my discipline solely rests on the "marketable skills" we teach. Sometimes things are just worth knowing and doing because they make your life bigger and richer.

In 1974, Cornell lecturer Lin Farley began recognizing a pattern in the experiences women shared in her Women and Work course: women were being pushed out of jobs by men’s sexual behavior. Farley coined the term, “sexual harassment.”

Randomly found the tragic story of bengal muslin today - cloth finer than any produced in the world, and the entire industry was destroyed by the British East India company (i.e colonialis) www.bbc.com/future/artic...

The ancient fabric that no one knows how to make
Nearly 200 years ago, Dhaka muslin was the most valuable fabric on the planet. Then it was lost altogether. How did this happen? And can we bring it back?

Do you like more trains? Because the Greens will push for MORE And unlike a blue or red party that over-promises and/or poorly-delivers We will deliver at the right pace by following the advice by Te Waihanga and our local councils (apparently that's too difficult for some parties to do). #nzpol

Looking through some old stuff and found this cartoon I cut out c1996. They just never really have new ideas, just new packaging. (For younger readers - right wing think tank the NZ Initiative formed out of a merger of the NZ Business Roundtable and the NZ Institute in 2012.)
Photo of a black and white cartoon with a bunch of men sitting around an executive board table. A sign in front reads “Quiet please, Roundtable in session”. From left to right they are saying:
“The govt should get out of education and health…”
“We need more contestability in social welfare…”
“the govt should sell ACC and the post office…”
“We should privatise electricity and roading…”
“Seen the polls? Winston could be the next PM”
“That’s disgraceful. What happened to the New Zealand we all knew and loved?”

TIL there’s a fish that lives in the lowest depths of the Congo River that has stunted growth, no color pigment, and no eyes. And locally it’s called “mondeli bureau,” which translates to “white man in an office” LMAO

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

It's critical to remember we have NO civics education in New Zealand. Ppl do not necessarily know how MMP works, how a coalition works, or how to best make their vote reflect their values The more you can make talking about politics normal and chill, the more ppl feel they're allowed to be curious
