Lotographia on various other social networks. Person of Pōneke, Aotearoa. They/He (in that order). Green Party supporter & volunteer. Lego collector. Trying to build a website and write a book and failing at both. "David Thomsen".
Imagine being completely unfamiliar with terf ideology and reading this headline out of context.
This is an outrage. "Whio is the best duck" is a statement, NOT a question 💅
Okay I just need to swear for a moment, trigger warning swears. If National are going to attack Labour anyway, even WHEN Labour promise to retain National party policy, then WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING POINT. WHAT. EXACTLY. HAVE. LABOUR. ACHIEVED. HERE. #nzpol
Labour rejects claims of hypocrisy around its interest deductibility policy
Labour is defending against claims of hypocrisy around its policy on interest deductibility, saying the party is simply maintaining the status quo.

One of those iconic Luxonisms is when he says "I haven't put any thoughts into this person and/or group, but here are my full thoughts about that person and/or group".
Danielle, Petty Hate Machine@dimsie.bsky.social · last wk.If Luxo says he doesn't know who someone is, that is proof that a) he does and b) that the person makes him nervous #nzpol
I do Green Party volunteering on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm already skiving off on Thursday next week to go to a book club event at Unity ("Kluge" by @pipadam.bsky.social) Now wondering if I can skive off on Tuesday as well 🤔

Cultural milestone observation: we have entered a new era where pointing out that things are cringe is in itself a very cringe thing to do.

All day I've been absolutely chilled by the fact that a person in this country can get arrested for pushing back against the anecdote of a private individual affiliated with the ACT party

OH at work just now: "Hell is other people." "Hell is specific other people. Australians."
This "You Can See Everything" documentary looks kind of like the US version of @davidfarrier.com's "Mister Organ" eh
I do like how Wellington have this service where they put you in a box and move you past a whole bunch of scenery
Apparently of I had a teenage son I would be subscribing him to Playboy for the articles
Playboy@playboy.com · 3w agoMen are "pheromone-maxxing," skipping showers before dates. Kelly Oxford weighs in on whether women really like this. The answer is no.
Apparently Kneecap the band have some credible SA allegations against them? It's hard for me to get info on these allegations because the content is often locked behind social media platforms I refuse to engage with. Anyway just something to consider when Kneecap tickets go on sale this morning.
What is the charge? Playing a game of Mario Kart? A succulent public game of Mario Kart?

A while ago I bought this shirt because I decided to support trans-tasman anti-colonial sentiment, was pleased today to see someone wearing the same shirt in Pito-one, didn't think I was ever likely to see the same shirt here 🖤💛❤️

Today's weather in Wellington is, "is that a wee waterspout out in the harbour?"
The media went after Tamatha Paul for the Moa Point failure. The report into the Moa Point failure came out today. It does not mention Tamatha Paul. I'm peripherally aware of the media going after Tamatha Paul for some other thing recently but they've somewhat lost my confidence at this point.
Stay safe out there! I was nearly struck by the letter 'f'
"If we make this a one-term government we will re-establish Te Aka Whai Ora! They won't disestablish it AGAIN unless they want to be a one-term government a SECOND time 😈" How about that? How about actually discourage this government from behaving the same way the next time they get in?
The Press@thepress.co.nz · 4w agoLabour is abandoning its previous commitment to restore the scrapped Māori Health Authority with Labour leader Chris Hipkins holding concerns it could face the same fate if resurrected.
This is, once again, overly simplistic thinking from TOP. This is MMP. "The party with the biggest number is best" could result in a government that represents fewer voters that a coalition formed by several smaller parties. But what do I know, eh? Maths?

The reason I know the MCU is dying is because I waited for four weeks to see the new Spiderman film and encountered literally no spoilers in that time. And it wouldn't have mattered to me if I had. I am a person who has blocked people because of spoilers in the past.
