Aww Shaneel Lal just came over to introduce themselves at a cafe. Love it when I meet old Twitter buddies in real life. Hate not having an edit function to fix autocorrect.

1/3 Ignorance is bliss - a story of Minister Van Velden’s disastrous Q&A interview in nine panels.

a screenshot of Brooke van Velden ‘answering’ a question with the text “I just don’t think you can try and compare any of these policies with each other…”
Smaller text saying “Minister Brooke van Velden

a small picture of what seems to be a badly taxidermied cat with it’s arms spread wide as if asking a question, with bold text in the middle saying “WHY NOT?”

On top of humanities and social sciences being cut from eligibility for the Marsden Fund, changes to 're-balance' the histories curriculum, attacks on the Waitangi Tribunal, etc, it seems clear the government would prefer we remain in ignorance about our history. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The axe is hovering over historians and staff who create digital content used by schools and the public.

Sadly, this never goes out of fashion. Just wish I had a Tshirt of this image from the 1980’s. I managed to get it into evidence in the Employment Court during the Bartlett and E Tu v Terranova case by submitting a research paper which featured the image on its cover.

Today would have been our mum Anne’s 80th birthday. She was smart, funny, feisty and courageous. She was a feminist and championed human rights way before it was trendy. She made us believe we could do amazing things even though there was no money. I miss her every day.

Thread 🧵 here - every bit of this is so bleak & heartbreaking. What it shouts loud & clear is fuck the workers. The working class in Aotearoa is being shafted & our overlords are telling us to be thankful, to keep accepting the unacceptable whilst they get richer & richer. Up the workers ✊ #NzPol

Pretty strong wording - appropriately - from Coughlan in the Herald. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/... Also notes the irony of ACT's Regulatory Standards crowd ignoring some of the most basic principles of regulatory practice.

If the Government does have a good reason for urgency in this case (it says it doesn't want multiple different regimes operating at once), it hasn't made a very good case for it.

To recap: the Government is using Parliamentary urgency to pass retrospective legislation affecting hundreds of thousands of low-paid workers, saving itself "billions" of dollars, but has not done basic regulatory due diligence on what this means for the workers in question, and is not saying how much money is on the line.

That is bad lawmaking at the very least.

It is so frustrating having to handhold large swaths of the people I share this city/country with, to convince them *why hatred and violence toward trans people is dangerous and bad*. Yes, it has broader repercussions for everyone. We also have, y’know, human rights? #nzpol

Every announcement this government makes is just baffling. Citizens arrests risk serious harm to both parties. Do not encourage your staff to do this. It breaches your health and safety obligations.

She shrugged, "It's ok. It happens." We all share that look & shrug: America, baby. You know how it is. "But...thank you." And that was that. We went our separate ways. Whole interaction just took a few seconds. And that, white people, is why we, YOU, have to speak up when you see shit like this.

I managed to walk carefully around the farmers’ market and had brunch at our fav Seriously Pickled. Yay. Gorgeous day too. I even wore a frock. The specialist said I only need to use a crutch or both if I really need them. Took one for balance and defensive weaponry purposes.

2 weeks post surgery the leg’s looking pretty good. Lot of the swelling and bruising are gone. Wound looks pretty clean. Using one crutch outside the house for safety and to take some pressure off. Stopped tramadol last night and so far so good. I’m calling a win for the prep. Massage balm 1/2
