The "oh that's not mine it's my partners" shouldn't be available only to the "wealthy and sorted". Adults shouldn't be denied help because of their parents. Our disabled shouldn't have to choose between financial autonomy or love. None of us should.

I feel for young women in Hollywood who are clearly living disordered lifestyles to look like someone locked them in a basement for six months, but I am even more upset for young girls who are having this imagery thrust upon them. We need a cultural revolt against this bullshit.

NBA is rigged! when Spurs had 29 point lead the game should have been immediately stopped and Spurs declared winner. Instead officials decides to play "4th quarter?" and Knicks "somehow" score enough baskets to win. Fraud!

Let's not forget that Seymour called New Zealand's first Iranian born member of parliament, a woman whose parents fled the regime as dissidents, a "menace to freedom" resulting in her needing extra security as threats increased He directed contributed to her being hounded out of public life
Screenshot of a social media post by a verified account named David Seymour reading, “Our dinner for Persian freedom fighters was well timed. Let freedom reign this time.” Below the text is a photo of a dining table set with plates, glasses, and a vase of flowers beside large glass doors. Outside the doors hang several green-white-red flags with lion-and-sun emblems. A folded cloth sits on a countertop in the foreground.

Oh, I know this one! We own Air New Zealand because its former private owners made a series of ghastly decisions and registered an operating loss of $1.45 *billion* in 2001 and the Clark govt stepped in, bought an 82% stake and renationalised it so we still had a national carrier.

A terrifying acceleration. The number of times a State of Emergency has been declared in 2026, has ALREADY matched the 2025 number. How long before we’re in a permanent State of Emergency and unable to recover? Preparing for climate change, AND cutting emissions have to be election issues.

Such an awful read. Olivia Podmore inquest. "[The coach] would berate Olivia on all aspects of her personal life. Who she was seeing and when, what she ate, the size of her bottom, her haircut, how many boys she slept with and more. It was relentless." www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

NZers: if you're over 45 and haven't had a TDAP (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine in the last 10 yrs, you're due for a free booster. We are in a pertussis epidemic currently, which tragically has recently caused the death of a baby, so it's a good time to boost your immunity.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
We expect that some 50 Auschwitz Survivors will come to the Memorial for the 80th anniversary of the liberation. The eyes and ears of the world should rest upon them. We must safeguard their voices from silence, distortion, or being overshadowed. (Photo: buff.ly/4jd1BiU)
The iconic railway tracks leading into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, framed under a vibrant orange and blue sunset sky. The tracks converge at the main entrance gate with the guard tower silhouetted against the fiery hues of the setting sun.

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

Let me tell you what teacher aides do: in short, we catch the kids who slip through the cracks. We’re teacher and counsellor. We’re sometimes the first school worker to ever tell them they’re smart. But we don’t deserve cost of living increase? Fuck off with your zero pay offer.

After being asked about the official count, and reflecting on the change to allow election day enrolment, I thought to check on the votes disallowed for-non-enrolment. Before the law change, in 2014, it was ~29k. In 2017 it was ~25k. After the change in 2020 it dropped to ~6k.
