I have too many dogs for a sensible person One of the Aotearoa NZ Twitter exodus Mother: Invercargill, father: Simmesport La. Ngāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Cajun, Pākehā, feminist, parent MA in history, PhD in dork Terfs and right-wingers can get in the bin
This is the Great Filter; we cannot accept that the perfect fusion pie lies in our past - it must lie in our future. We continue to strive.
André Brett@drdrehistorian.bsky.social · 7h agoTruly, NZ's panoply of fusion pies is a practical everyday proof that migration is great and we need more migrants, not fewer, to unlock the full potential of the pie
Queenstown tomorrow! I have packed for my mother and now I have to pack for me. I have also, genius-style, found a car rental company that takes restricted licenses 🫠
Helly ate a spicy sky raisin and was briefly very unhappy
At least you're taking this disagreement well (just a note, if you mention New Zealand you wind up on the Kikorangi feed and we can all see it)
The good economic managers have created high unemployment again lol who was in govt 11 years ago? Yeah that’s right.
Whether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · 2d ago"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.
Helly's new collar lasted a whole five days before being chewed off by Rita. I'm going to have to get one of those ridiculous chain collars that people buy for pit bulls 😀
A low of -2?!? What is this I moved to Auckland for the mosquitoes and constant humid drizzle, not this gloriously sunny and crisp environment
The first 6 months of 2026 saw 1,411 businesses liquidated, up from 1,296 last year and putting NZ on track for the worst year in almost two decades. 97% of NZ businesses are SMEs: tradies, cafés, retailers and family businesses doing the heavy lifting. This is who Luxon is telling to grow up.

If your desire and ability to exercise state power is predicated on the state exercising racism, then yes - you are the baddies.

#NZ “Everything now is pain for me“ 😄 Cute story of a new immigrant who walked to the top of the Port Hills, behind #Christchurch Original on RNZ live blog, a few minutes ago.
Ich have a wagon as large as leviathan And we wende ower way nowe to the Shack of Love - Drawn by fyne palfreyes, it seateth wel twentye So make haste and bringe thy bagpipe moneye
oh my god he hit the reflecting pool with a "two weeks" dawgggggg that thing's never opening again
Became MASSIVELY ANNOYED by my mother's endless strips of medications everywhere and popped hundreds of them into little labelled craft boxes instead. My thumbs hurt
Facebook showed me a speech given to some high schoolers entirely in Gen Alpha slang and I understood absolutely all of it. This is the power of being a parent who asks questions
there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Matthew Hooton is doing all he can to get rid of Luxon but he's not doing it to be our friend, sadly. He just wants a more EFFECTIVE piece of rightwing shit as PM #nzpol
Not sure if it's the lengthening days for solar production or our hot water now being on timers for only six hours a day, but our power bill went down $100 from last month! It's now a bill I can conceivably open without dying of horror
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d agoABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
"girlypop" is an amazing thing to be called in this context
Ashleigh's Paradigm Shift@paradigmpins.bsky.social · 2d agoAren't you special. I don't assume a goddamn thing but I was trying to explain why OTHER PEOPLE Do. Our education system is utter garbage and we can't afford to travel like y'all over there in NZ or wherever. We're trapped here. But go off with your bad self, girlypop. whatever makes you feel big.🤷♂️
I mean, good luck getting a foothold here, chuds. We drove off every bad faith rightwing asshole so far by ignoring them
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
