You’re stripping it for parts."

The repulsive far right coalition is intent on destroying EVERYTHING for $$$
The only time I knew for certain, was because she was in the same department as me. She walked in while I was getting changed for a job interview, and actually offered to leave. I said I was all good thanks, and she gave me some makeup advice, cos I suck at the girly stuff.
Again, imagine Greens co-leders Chlöe Swarbrick & Marama Davidson or any other woman on the left putting this kind of pout-and-flounce then the Press Pack NOT throwing it in their faces at every opportunity until the heat death of the universe.
You can't?
Sit with that for a minute.

My teenage son will be pleased 😁
Principled leadership. Calling it what it is. "Solidarity with and love to our Indian community - you deserve so much better." @chloe.swarbrick @greens.org.nz 21 April #nzpol
New Zealand Last are doing Christchurch shooter ideology — again.
NZF are becoming a Neo-Nazi party.
If you know someone who STILL supports them despite this, it’s long past time to hound them relentlessly as vile racists supporting Nazism.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Must be tired. This took too long...
I have a slipping rib. I've woken up squealing because I breathed out while rolling left.
yes we've all been frothing with the coup, meanwhile Mani Dunlop is out here reporting on this fuckery and what it means.

Me: What's that noise?
Friend: *Turns up music* "What noise?"
Aged well, no?
You know who turns up, every single time we have yet another extreme climate event?
Not the government.
Māori.
Every single time.
And this govt just keeps kicking them in the teeth?
Nope. Enough. #OneTermGovernment #nzpol #NZ
This destroys the fabric of New Zealand - our security, the things that make us a society #nzpol It is deliberate and the involvement of the laughingly-titled NZ First is a disgrace #Sellout newsroom.co.nz/2026/04/16/d...
For anyone in Aotearoa doubting the rape academy I have one word: Roastbusters.
We know what this is, we know how it goes.
And we can end it. We absolutely must.
What if men worked to end it now, forever? What a better world we would have, for everyone.
We're living at the pointy end of this. Tech married to a research scientist, him bouncing from contract to contract often with a long time between them. Son is disabled so we can't move. A lot of the time we have to live on my 3/4 of a job. We are *extremely* good at wasting talent in this country.
I'm surprised he hasn't joined ICE...
I was thinking tonight they are the pick-n-mix party. The most popular policies from every party...

As Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr. is now suppressing studies that don't support his anti-vaccine stance.
Technically I'm time rich, except for the chronic illness thing. I spend most of my downtime recovering from my job that I can't afford to leave.
The standard budget advice is to buy food in season. Even seasonal fruit and vegetables are expensive this year, and with diesel shortages, that will likely get worse. Our usual source of cheaper veggies are frozen, and guess which factories are closing down.
