the fuck 1. 'Fat ass'? Um is he on Ozempic now & i missed it or something 2. Fix the infrastructure - I hear there's no more sewage flowing thru the streets which sucks bc I can't mock Wgtn for it anymore 3. Student politics? It's not her fault she's surrounded by weirdos
Light pollution is causing birds around the world to sing for longer each day, prolonging their vocalizations on average by 50 minutes, according to a new study in Science. Learn more: https://scim.ag/3Uz7vzP

Stuff reporting that just 655 teachers in Aotearoa are on $140k+, out of 150,000 educators. That's a whopping 0.42% of them.
we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light
Kim Kelly@kimkelly.bsky.social · last yr.things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes
Gosh it seems to me that Luxon needs some help in ensuring he can do his job properly- can’t attend a call with European leaders and Ukraine because it’s 1am? What a dickhead.
Imagine getting your country through a pandemic with one of the lowest mortality rates while mitigating economic impacts and then having everyone paint you as economic vandals when the truth is actually the opposite
A.J. Ponder@ponderbooks.com · last yr.Yup, this is a bit buried by the media “New Zealand had been one of the very few countries to have a credit rating upgrade from the international ratings agencies during Covid.”"
You have until 1pm tomorrow to submit! Reminder it does not have to be super elaborate just an ‘I oppose this bill’. I know a lot of us are submissioned out- if you only have the spoons for a couple sentences te pai nā, your voice is still important
Hayley@writagal.bsky.social · last yr.Submission on the Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill done. Submit here by 1pm Monday 18 August - the deadline is coming up fast on this abysmal Bill. 🚨👇 www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...
Reckon if you're confident in your position then being called 'spineless' for holding to it would generate more bemusement than offense but maybe that's just me
Ash and I just submitted in less than 5 minutes! Your submission does not have to be super elaborate
Hayley@writagal.bsky.social · last yr.ICYMI (there’s a lot of News, deliberately so), it’s the last chance on Monday to submit on the abysmal Healthy Futures (Pae Ora) Amendment Bill which opens the door to priviatisation, removes equity, undermines Te Tiriti, gives Minister Simeon Brown more power and ultimately is Very Bad For NZ 👇
My reckons. There is something desperately wrong with any system which condemns mildly critical language addressed towards privileged power holders, but is utterly silent on the intentional starvation of children. #nzpol
We have some really shitty people in power around the world right now, people who are so narcissistic and lacking in empathy or a care to understand anything other than themselves. The coalition continues to walk along similar lines, like reading from his book. #uspol #nzpol #BHN
Brian Tyler Cohen@briantylercohen.bsky.social · last yr.They’re rewriting history.
This bit: ‘…would remove the requirement for Health NZ to engage with IMPBs when determining priorities for kaupapa Māori investment.’ Make a submission because this doesn’t just look like a move towards privatisation but another attack on Māori rights… #Kikorangi #nzpol
Hayley@writagal.bsky.social · last yr.“Clarify that the objective to promote health and prevent, reduce, and delay ill-health involves Health New Zealand collaborating with private healthcare providers.” There it is. Submit here against the privatisation of public health 🚨👇 Closing date is Mon 18 Aug. www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...
No builders to build anything. No apprentices. No gas transition capacity. No new Drs and nurses. No pool of police or prisons staff No policy wonks No Ministry grad programmes No science system No jobs.
Nothing could beat the artistic wonder that is Preacher’s Daughter but this album is a close second. Influenced by underground goth clubs and sad country folk, nobody does queer yearning like Ethel ❤️ her story-building is something else... She’s making history in the industry as a trans artist
Ethel Cain’s Anti-Pop Stardom
Hayden Anhedönia’s Southern-gothic storytelling made her a sensation. But her new album, “Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You,” underscores her unwillingness to be a celebrity.

Seymour doing things nobody asked for instead of tackling the crippling issues facing kiwis. As someone with an unusual allergy thats usually not included on menus etc. I’m extremely appreciative of our labelling laws that inform me of what will make me sick & what won’t. My celiac partner agrees

Barraged in the past few days by emails, meetings, and notices about funding cuts, AI, and fraud on massive scales while also grading student assignments showing huge increase in genAI usage. Feels like a complete existential crisis for research and higher education.

So Ani O'Brien led the anti-Maori ward campaign for Jordan Williams / Hobsons Pledge then tried to steer people off course from her using a photo that was disallowed for ad/promotion purposes #nzpol
For those keeping track, the Campaign Company has now been involved in: - Stop 3 Waters - Rates Cap Campaign - Anti Māori Wards Billboard campaigns Clearly there’s some big money backers out there trying to manipulate local elections. Gotta ask yourself why that might be and who is sharing it!
Your daily reminder that record profits are under paid wages & over priced goods. #GeneralStrike Vive la révolution
‘Waffle’ the noun and ‘waffle’ the verb are not etymologically related. The noun is related to the Old English ‘wefan,’ which means “to weave.” The verb is related to the English ‘woff,’ which means “to yelp.” FWIW: we never waffle on eating waffles.
Just got my Melbourne ticket for the Bullet For My Valentine- The Poison 20year anniversary tour! One of my favourite albums of all time played in its entirety! And this time Ash is coming with me 🥹 yay early anniversary trip 🤘🤘love a bit of Welsh thrash metal on a random Wednesday
We still have a few spots available in this study on Thursday! Come hang out, have a waiata and a kōrero at the University of Auckland
