Saw the movie on Jacinda’s years as prime minister today. Really well put together
Makes you appreciate how unlikely her ascent was & how tumultuous those years as PM were.
Despite it all, she was so right for that moment in NZ’s history.
It reinforced my view that we were lucky to have had her.

I remember the horizontal rain whilst crossing the tops of the Tararuas.

Lucky you.

William is fabulous.
Am going to see him next week.
Can’t be many tickets left….

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

May his tribe increase.

I had noticed the disinterest.
It’s almost as if one side were the children of a lesser god.

Reaching for more popcorn….

Been in awe of Jane Goodall since I was a young teenager. This has grown to respect and reverence over the years.
This vindicates what that young teenager intuited all those years ago:

What an absolute badass this woman was.

Met Elvis the peacock on my walk this evening.
And he was rather annoyed at the cars zipping past.
Spat the dummy shortly after this image was taken & flew up to his tree.
Glad that he has someplace safe to retreat to.

Not a problem.
Enjoying the 🌞 today.

That was not meant as an attack, on you Dr Sally.
It’s my poor attempt expressing frustration at how we are being gagged.

If I call you an idiot, am I being shirty?
And if you were Jewish, am I being antisemitic as well?

The ultimate shade 😎❤️👏 #nzpol #PrimeMinister

I feel her loss, Derek.
The NatGeo doco was my gateway drug.
She was my hero from then on.
Got to meet her twice in the 90s.
🤸‍♀️

One of the better daughters of our species.

Just checked. The Australian government services are not shut down tomorrow.

The real Superheroes amongst us.

Primatologists Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall and Birutė Galdikas.

Aye.
And I feel it.

The NatGeo doco was my gateway drug.

YOU AGAIN!??

We spoke again later. But i’ll always remember how observant Jane was.
Up close, she was an amazing, caring person.
And one of the finer examples of our species.

She is gone now.
Our world is much poorer for it.

YOU AGAIN!??

Mid-90s. Wellington, New Zealand. I went to 2 separate talks by my childhood hero and all round amazing human being, Jane Goodall.
As she walked on to the podium at the second presentation, she stopped, looked at me and said “you again!??”
I turned red.
