Party vote 🍏 Electorate vote 🍒 (we have no Green candidate + an excellent Labour candidate who I hope has a real shot at ousting current National MP in our swing electorate)

ENROL. VOTE. Politics doesn’t need your attention to affect your life. #nzpol

You can avoid political conversations. you can mute political accounts. you can say "i don't do politics.

but you cannot mute the policies that determine your wages, rent, taxes, healthcare, schools, roads, rights and standard of living.

politics doesn't need your attention to affect your life.

The Dutch don't just build cycle tracks, they build cycle networks. Over motorways, under junctions, then branching off to the gym, football pitches & other local destinations. Safe, direct routes connecting the places people need to go. This is how you make cycling a normal part of everyday life.

Woolworths has changed their online shopping site, including taking away the Shopping List function (which is how I always do my shopping), and it's got me all cranky.

Life seems to be happening *around* people at this current historical moment. This means that commentary is the main form of action for the vast majority. And it turns out that commentary keeps folks anxious and unfulfilled. People don't have a clear sense of what they can actually DO.

At some point someone has to stand up and go "Ok everyone shut the fuck up. You all didn't want Three Waters, so you've got this now. This is what you voted for. It's going to be expensive because Things Cost Money, and you've all underpaid for decades because of political cowardice".

Schrödinger’s cycle lanes, so busy it’s too difficult to cross the road and at the same time a huge waste of money because no one ever uses them

I’d be happier with the media finally dunking on Luxon if it was because his policies caused suffering, rather than because he’s not very good at selling the policies of suffering.

Lack of govt spending means longer wait times at the hospital and for treatment, more homeless people, fewer educated people but also a tanking economy due to lower profits and high unemployment. So yeah I guess good luck and best wishes to everyone!

Great to see that National support 30 weeks Paid Parental Leave. Especially after they voted against the introduction of PPL. Blocked the extension to 26 weeks for several years. Canceled 33 pay equity claims. And just this year, cut Best Start payments for the majority of new parents.

I actually took time off this school holidays, so we came to Rotorua and rode the Whakarewarewa Forest Loop, which we've been meaning to do for yeeeears. Nearly-12yo did an awesome job, weather was perfect, and a rented e-bike meant I could actually do it. So fucking great.

Only having politicians with personal or family wealth is objectively bad for democracy. Allowances to make sure people elected from all walks of life, no matter where you live, can be effective at their jobs isn't the issue. People with existing personal or family wealth taking the piss is.

Today, I managed to cycle all the way to Lower Hutt from my apartment in Newtown, Wellington. It's about 20km and I was able to use cycle lanes and/or shared paths for pretty much the whole way there! I didn't think I'd be able to do this in my lifetime, and I'm absolutely stoked.
