Toitū te Tiriti, he Tangata Tiriti ahau. He Aroreretini hoki. Historian and general nerd of the Irish Diaspora. Lives with a cat called Zuko, ex-stray; he's still a little wary of humans. Very wise.

Zuko is unconvinced that he needs a Halloween House, even with catnip. #cats #pets #Halloween

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Our country in the south Pacific has been battered by high winds, the kind of weather events that climate change makes worse, yet still the NZ Govt is part of the climate obstruction team. Subsidies to fossil fuels in a climate crisis - madness. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Historic waka 'Hinepāpara' emerges from Far North's Ōmahuta Forest History has been made in the Far North, where a waka has been shaped in the forest for the first time in almost a century. On Friday, Bay of Islands...

Great explanation of the purpose of waka (ancestral 'canoe/boat'). This is newly built, following old traditions.

Hospitals, clinics not equipped for measles outbreak - general practitioner Immunisation Advisory Centre senior adviser Mamaeroa David warns waiting times at hospitals are 3-4 weeks.

If you haven't yet, check if you need a Measles, Mumps and Rubella booster, we just got ours as we're 1970s babies and weren't up to date.

2....Did this person think I waited on a list for 9 months and paid $810 to have my brain assessed because I had no ADHD symptoms? Does this person think I just wanted to be one of the cool quirky kids? (I'm 48). #ADHD #neurodivergent #neurodiversity #Diagnosis #HowNoToReact

1. Yesterday, I told someone I thought knew me well that I had just been diagnosed with ADHD. They replied: 'I wouldn't have picked that about you...it's very popular to get that diagnosis right now...the trick is to not start behaving like a person with ADHD is supposed to act.'... #ADHD

I agree. It's been super disturbing to watch the Public Service Commission become so obviously politically aligned to the Coalition. When I was Acting Manager at a Ministry, PSC were advocates for flexible work and pretty neutral in general. No more!

Live: Nurses, teachers, doctors and others take part in nationwide mega strike But the government's top negotiator says workers' demands are 'a mystery'.

100,000 workers on strike is a lot of workers in a country of 5 million. The lack of neutrality from the Public Service Commission about workers' rights in the last few years is disturbing. #unionsareworkers #unionsarepeople #nzpol

More on Brian Roche - apparently he's on a part time $650,000 contract and keeps 4 private directorships including a property investment/development company and forestry. No wonder he has no problem politicising the PSC for his benefit #nzpol #kiw
