Aotearoa New Zealand,

Everywhere that Chris Luxon, David Seymour, Winston Peters or any CoC-up govt MPs turn up, I want you to #TurnYourBacks. Give your back to them and their cameras. Do it for Palestine!

If they're speaking, turn your back. If they enter any room, turn your back!

nz not supporting statehood

the new zealand government is so fucking pathetic and embarassing

Grieving is weird when you’re numbed on anti-d’s. Any one experienced this?

The next time someone tells you adding good bike infrastructure will disadvantage disabled people, show them this short clip of an Utrecht bike street (fietsstraat).

Controlling cars makes access better for everyone, and opens public space to more of the public.

Māori born overseas should 100% be automatically citizens here. Colonisers keep colonising 🤬

Beware of those promising low rates, and those that have signed pledges. It’s against their rules to do so as everything must be considered at the table, not before.

Hot take of the day: some people don’t deserve lemon trees.

My brother used to have a “piggy” bank just like this.

How did you smash capitalism today? I volunteered at my local bicycle charity, giving free bikes away. #smashcapsdaily

Rude not to, right?

Is it weird to look into my dogs eyes and talk to ghosts? Its only when he’s givibg me love eyes with ears back?

Three big deaths in the last 6 weeks, health complications for my dad who is 89. Can I have a rest now please, my SSRI’s only cover so much pain. 😭

Suicide: worried about someone? Who is most at risk of suicide, signs to look for, how to support someone's recovery and caring for yourself

In an emergency/threat to life always call 111 in Aotearoa or whatever your local emergency response number is in your country

Boycott Nick Cave, the Zionist. Shame.

It’s in the Ballot is painful, but essential it seems. Why don’t we have good coverage and debates of local pols done by actual broadcasters. All power to Sam and the gang. #justsaying

I’m sitting outside Undies laundromat in Whanganui. My step mum died and I’m washing the curtains. Love my whānau but nice to have a break and a thermos of tea with the Mr.

Best thread ever!

In 1942, National MP F. W. Doidge in a parliamentary debate accused Peter Fraser's government, and in particular Minister of Labour Paddy Webb, of being "spineless" for not cracking down on striking workers during WWII. He was not reprimanded. babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc...

None of these invisible, complicit National MP’s turned up to the debate on Gaza.

They could have said something but they didn’t even show up.

Come election and voting, remember these faces and dont vote for them.

It's considered very disorderly, and worthy of punishment, in the House of Parliament to imply that members should have strength of character, if you're wondering what kind of bullshit goes on in there.

Watch: Swarbrick booted from House for rest of week over Palestine speech Gerry Brownlee said her statements were 'completely unacceptable'.

I don't know if Speaker Brownlee has a spine or not, but this embarrassing display of faux-civility from another sad little man emasculated by a feisty woman strongly suggest he's a cockless wonder. #nzpol

NZ newspaper article "foodstuffs posts world-leading profits as kiwi grocery costs say high"

Your daily reminder that record profits are under paid wages & over priced goods.

I have a new job. My insight: people who work for MPs get paid less but work so much harder that many people in ministries I’ve worked in. Come at me.

Love this! I’m pretty much the same, proud of any result they worked hard for, but more about the vibes.

The one that’s really annoying me lately is Resene. The company owner is REFUSING to get on board and the workers at the paint factory are really struggling to get by and he makes the “it’s not fair to good workers if I pay them all the same” bs even though it’s supposed to be a base rate.

Helsinki goes a full year without a traffic death A city traffic engineer credits the success to lower speed limits and smarter design.

Helsinki hasn't had a traffic fatality in a year: "Helsinki's current traffic safety strategy, covering 2022–2026, is nearing completion. It has focused on improving safety for children, youth, pedestrians and cyclists with safer crosswalks and smarter intersection design."

They got intelligent planning, we got Simeon

How is this still happening?

My advice when advising a friend visiting Whanganui. If you have any Hunting and Fishing type gears, you know the every colour camo but the best is pink. wear that and you’ll fit right in. And go to the Saturday Markets. #realtalk
