Someone tagged me into this as, in Drach's absence, the person on BlueSky most likely to know (without guessing) how navies handled cat poo. I am VERY offended.

But they're also right. 😆 Indeed Drach/Dr Alex and I were comparing notes on this back in November.

The gov't will have been expecting protest from Māori. But what they have completely misjudged is how many non-Māori, esp. younger people, want a future based in Te Tiriti (image is by artist Mr G Hoete, shared with permission)

the principles of the treaty, and their attendant settlements, were an act of generosity - on the part of māori. this is what seymour doesn’t get. māori won’t lie down if their generosity in accepting the principles and settlements, against the wisdom of past experience, is thrown back in their face

like as a kid, bedtime was so horrible, but as a 35 year old woman, if someone gave me a bath, changed me into fresh pyjamas and made me go to bed at 8pm every fuckin day, I would be like profoundly and eternally grateful

Today, after Te Pāti Māori proved their immense power, and as the new gaggle of clowns elected to govern made a bunch of silly speeches, Justice4Palestine sent a message; The New Zealand Government must act now!
Stop this genocide by every means necessary and Free Palestine. 🇵🇸✊

you cant even cackle & twirl your moustache anymore without people thinking you tied a woman to railroad tracks, due to the media nowadays

Coalition agreements threaten the well-being of New Zealanders - NZCTU The coalition agreements set out by the incoming government are nothing less than an attack on working Kiwis, their rights, and their needs said the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions.

Continuing in the stellar work they did in the election, doing what that gallery seldom does. Great analysis from NZCTU on the impact on New Zealanders of coalition policy.

Very simple, clean illustration of a shorthaired white cat, sitting up but a little hunched and looking down. It fits beautifully in a square composition against a black background.

People are often surprised to learn that this is by M.C. Escher! 1919. www.nga.gov/collection/a...
