This sort of mismanagement should bring down a government; amazingly, it's not even the worst example of their failings

Come to Aotearoa New Zealand. Our prime minister badly needs someone to fit his suits for him! The rest of us probably need fashion advice too. We really like wearing lots & lots of black.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards. Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'. @fight_for_a_future @rowllingofficial

Why am I supposed to care about Air NZ's new uniforms? Why is it treated as a massive cultural event when they're unveiled? I don't give a shit what a corporation that overcharges for domestic travel wears.
