Delightfully acerbic, brazen, queer, pākehā, deeply curious about understanding our practices as Tangata Tiriti. through a colonial class lens. Honour Te Tiriti - return stolen land, dismantle colonial systems of power.
Federated Farmers say Kiwis are 'lucky' to have 'premium' ‘grass-Fed’ butter, but neglects to mention the rainforest destruction, polluted rivers, contaminated drinking water and climate change that goes with it.

- unlikely cost savings
- ethics - in terms of informed consent/social license, and data sovereignty
- data quality
- ignoring or diluting expert recommendations
Like all market-based solutions, biodiversity credits should be approached with deep suspicion unless grounded in a constitutional reckoning that begins by honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi as a binding political truth in Aotearoa.

Kudos to @nzgreenpeace.bsky.social on an exemplary RSB submission tool. By far, it is the easiest and simplest I have ever used. Writing a submission to OPPOSE the RSB has never been so easy - greenpeace.nz/rsb

This is an album from my youth. I've never stopped listening to it, and after years reporting from authoritarian countries, from China to Russia to Cuba, I've only come to appreciate it more as an adult. I am from Los Angeles, and today is a good day to listen to it.

Excerpt from Stuff 29 April 2025... A main focus of Tuesday’s speech was debt. “The interest bill on Government debt has soared from $3.6b in 2014 to $8.9b last year. That’s an awful lot of money,” Willis told the crowd at Metco’s factory. She noted the annual interest payments New Zealand was making, issuing about $500 million of Treasury bonds each week, amounted to more than was spent on law and order and defence combined.
This misleading crap just gets spilled out into the media with barely any challenge. The purpose of course is to convince us that cuts to public services and the sale of assets to rentiers are all very necessary indeed. TINA. Let's unpick these manipulative stats... [Geek Level Medium to High 🧵1/n]

I’ve never been more disgusted in New Zealand than I am today. This is a grossly ignorant & unfair decision. I saw the “poll” stating half of (Pākeha mostly) think it’s a fair punishment. It is NOT it is UNPRECEDENTED & suspicious in its deliberation. #Shame #nzpol

Luxon and Willis are gonna be so mad when they get asked live on air if the Deputy PMs threats to RNZ led to the $18 million dollar cut and they say "No" and then Winston tweets "I'd fucken do it again bitch" while they're on air.

“It's a cost-cutting exercise, but it's also the Government saying, ‘we don't value violence prevention work and services in communities and schools’.” My comment from this article.
