The NZ Govt is reneging on climate commitments, which could have trade and legal risks for the country. Not to mention contributing to us all frying or drowning.

Cassette tapes are rad! There is an arts hub where I live that celebrates the cassette tape, and one of the bands has just had an album release party where they gave their guests tapes.

Belonging, Memory, and Power: Reimagining Scotland’s Historic Environment Following her thought-provoking (and challenging!) address at Scotland’s Historic Environment Forum, we invited Irene Mosota (chief executive of Knowledge-Bridge UK) to revisit the themes of her speech in this article. Is the heritage sector an exclusive sector? And, if so, what more can we do to in

💭 "Is the heritage sector exclusive?" Irene Mosota poses challenging questions about who belongs in Scotland's historic environment conversations. Her powerful piece asks: whose stories are valued & how can we shift from preservation to participation? 🔗www.linkedin.com/pul...

Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change? Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.

As climate solutions reporter I find many 'solutions' don't scale- or reduce pollution at all.

Which is why after months of reporting I want to tell you about Vienna.

Vienna has found a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change, all at the same time.

Now U.S. cities want in. 🎧⬇️

Former MPs unite for ‘people’s select committee’ into pay equity Women who served for the National, Labour, NZ First and Green parties will form a committee to analyse the Government’s pay equity changes.

My primary objective is to offer a facility for getting the evidence Parliament should have had before it. We want to know why such a large number of women who are not well paid became the collateral damage of balancing the Budget.This is an evidence gathering mission www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

Looking for a clip that talks to inequalities/inequities regarding the histories of science for my first year Bachelor of Teaching students. There's research jargon in this one, but is it grasp-able?

Return of the huia? Why Māori worldviews must be part of the ‘de-extinction’ debate

There is nothing to stop de-extinction companies using specimens from museum collections, despite little Māori support for reviving lost native species.

Cartoon. Title: “Direction of Travel”. The Act leader David Seymour is driving a vehicle and PM Christopher Luxon, Finance Minister Nicola Willis, and Winston Peters are passengers. The armoured vehicle has “Coalition Machine” written on the side, and a woman has been scooped up and smashed into the windscreen. Her placard bearing the legend “Women” is beside her, and another placard that says, “Te Tiriti” is at the back. From the backseat a smiling Christopher Luxon has his arm raised and is asking. “Where are we off to now, David?”

Cartoon. It says, “Happy Mother’s Day to all you women, mothers and child-free alike! Thank you for selflessly giving up fair pay and for sacrificing your families, your welfare, your security, and your retirement, to save our budget. YOU ARE THE BEST!” In the lower right corner are Finance Minister Nicola Willis and PM Christopher Luxon applauding. Luxon is looking a little anxiously at MP Brooke van Velden, who has gone into robot mode and sending signals to the mother ship.
