Its A Verb

The most accurate take

Is there a social media/media course for doctors/registered professions? I keep finding a lot for marketing etc but I'm after something different

Have you done your anarchist callisthenics today?

Well like...America ten to fifteen years ago. Still opportunities to stop degradation of rights but cynically - its not likely. Lots of legislation happening that takes indigenous representation out of laws, environmental concerns minimised etc. for the long term. Very pro-privatisiation

I'm a junior doctor in NZ - trained here and its true, the pay in Australia is MUCH better, and working conditions. Govt is right wing at the moment but introducing lots of laws that have ongoing repercussions many years in to the future. Things have changed a lot in the last ten years

So proud of the kids, both of them got perfect report cards, excellence in all areas (!) and Mr 11 got an award for Te Reo Me Ōna Tikanga and Miss 7 got Kaitiakitanga 🥰🥰 I'm so pleased for them! So glad the went to the puna reo, they're both thriving #maoriexcellence

The Simpsons already did this.

And it was also poor flow 15 years ago and every year since

Every year the media blames patients for inappropriately clogging up ED… when we all know that the data shows the REAL BIG PROBLEM is a lack of investment in community services.

THE HOSPITAL IS BLOCKED BECAUSE WE CAN’T SEND PEOPLE HOME.

But every time we try to spend on care in the community the media starts printing garbage about turning into communists, lazy people taking advantage of handouts etc.

And the political football is passed around while people sit on plastic chairs for 22 hours.

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

October 27th for Māori women, no wonder I've been grumpy the last few weeks...

Whenever NZers have an option to say publicly that they don't believe in what this government is doing to Māori, there are more on the side of right than the side of wrong
- more people voted for Māori wards than against them
- more schools decided to give effect to Te Tiriti than did not

The only Christmas present I've actually organised this year! Pepper Raccoon is amazing 😍😍

I'm so lucky to have contact with nice people every day 😊

NZ stands with our firefighters ✊

They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol

Oh my GOD yes

I went and got an education because now I've got a weapon and can't be disarmed.

Aotearoa: disaster occurs --> local marae opens its doors to the victims. Every. Single. Time.

It was as awful as I expected 😭😭😭

No longer in the van, but this still applies

Last night shift of 4, LETS GOOOO 2:19am

I'm on night shift and tbh I just want to snuggle my cat and be unconscious and horizontal amongst a pile of cushions.

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty.

A week of people acting horrendously selfishly. Sometimes I want working conditions and pay and the cost of living to be better so people aren't so stressed and awful to interact with argh
