Not sure if they realise you can just turn up to the meetings to decide what to do. There's no union bosses forcing "crafternoons" on workers.

House Arab I was working at the magazine as a fact-checker and my parents no longer considered me a failure, not because they read or admired it, but because when they said its name to friends and relatives it s...

"I knew that someday, years or perhaps decades down the line, when half of Gaza was still rubble and the other half Israeli skyscrapers, the magazine would offer a mea culpa. Maybe someone involved would end up considering it the biggest mistake of their career."

In other news, up at dawn for the tōhi tāngaengae for our beautiful brought back to life central library Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui. You are going to love it! In front of the amazing Darcy Nicholas rawa, with some of my fave colleagues Laurie Foon, John Apanowicz and @geordierogers.co.nz

Made me wonder about the Dardenne brothers' health and safety policies.

What an unusually happy ending though. Are the Dardenne brothers getting soft

Thankyou for the zine! I'll get it added to the collection soon. cc ‪@jessyrandall.bsky.social‬

Aotearoa - A variety of ropū are behind this #GrantTheVisas campaign, which is urgently calling on the Government to grant emergency humanitarian visas to Palestinians in Gaza who have family ties to NZ.

They have heaps of resources to get on board here: grantthevisas.com

First time I've been part of an entire movie audience singing a waiata. (the Jafar Panahi film at #nziff)
Don't get depressed by the bigots and the govt that panders to them.

You got an ISBN?

This must be the 99th documentary about her. What is with kids going to film school and coming out thinking "Is this Nazi a Nazi" is a worthwhile topic.

This was one of my highlights too. You can see it for free on Beamafilm

Yeah. It's sad that film making in NZ has got to this state.

It's weird that there's a NZIFF film still crowdfunding to complete it while NZIFF has started selling tickets. Never seen that happen before.

Holy shit, I didn't even think it was legal to release feral cats. Re the SPCA: yeah they're anti-1080 so are not so keen on Indigenous animals.

People do TNR in NZ?

Great work Kieran!

The streeties I've talked to feel safe in numbers in Newtown. Dispersing people to suburbs with less shelter isn't going to help.

Yes I see they've taken a break from calling for the klepto mail thief to be imprisoned.

The streeties have been warned they'll be arrested if they stand outside Newtown Mall. Anyone know how legal this is? I've never seen anything like it

Ok here's another scenario: the Atlas Network created the environment for a govt to fire a large proportion of the library's staff, so that they don't have time to run auctions (regardless of whether or not this guy has a few trucks and warehouses on hand)

lol do you seriously think the Atlas Network control librarians?

Watching Threads with 2 people from the post-Reykjavík Summit generation tonight.

Despite the horrific weather in Pōneke tonight and the hard-to-reach spot, we turned up in mass to tell the USS Blue Ridge to f*ck off out of Aotearoa and the South Pacific.

He's an outlier

I'm a librarian and you're right Mr Luxon. But not for the reasons you think.

Opinion: The extraordinarily complex job of a librarian almost always requires a master’s degree. There isn’t a single male-dominated profession with comparable skills that requires the same, so why, asks librarian Mandy Henk, are librarians being repeatedly denigrated?

Found the talk fascinating. Loved all the social history and high school library geekery.
