“Despite producing enough food to feed 40 million people annually, Aotearoa allows its most vulnerable tamariki to go hungry. Food insecurity here is one of the worst in the OECD, and disproportionately affects Māori and Pasifika children.” — Dr Madeline Shelling.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

In 2018, 20% of trans people in Aotearoa had avoided seeing a doctor because of fear about how they'd be treated for their gender. In 2022, that had dropped to 11%! There's been so much work that has gone into this - and tho there are other barriers, I think this is a win we should celebrate

This thread is so important. Just take 5 mins to write that you oppose X bill. If you need, cut and paste a few lines from someone else’s work. But KEY message- lots of really smart people will use their expertise to articulate complex things well, your job is to simply state your position.

I've just published my own submission to Manatū Hauora's consultation on the right of transgender children in Aotearoa to access the healthcare they need - consultation they have opened on request from Minister Reti, with no good justification. It's long, but may be useful for your own submission.

Reminder: Submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill close 7 January. Don Brash just emailed his followers saying they need to submit in support of the bill or Māori won't let them go to the beach anymore. Even if it's only a paragraph or two, it's important to get your opposition on the record.

You can't accept the role of being 'critic and conscience of society' and then insist on "institutional neutrality"- they are mutually exclusive positions. Knowledge is not neutral, and one cannot be critical or have a conscience without having a clearly stated position or opinion

My god, this is dumb. Not declaring institutional support for Te Tiriti is not neutral it is actively supporting the legacy of colonialism where Māori and Pacific colleagues feel less free to speak and we cannot innovate along the lines Te Tiriti opens up.

Philomena Cunk standing beside a Santa statue saying

the good children will get lots of presents and so, it turns out, will the bad ones.

In fact, the only ones who won't get very much are the poor children
that's because Santa judges a child's goodness based largely on parental income.

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of: • early death • hospitalisation for any reason • cardiovascular disease • cancer mortality • treatment for mental health problems. Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.
