One person is killed in Palestine every 12 mins. Luxon wants to wait until Sept to decide on recognising Palestine.

We call it moral cowardice. Recognition must happen now with sanctions, consequences, and action to hold Israel accountable for genocide. Every day of delay costs more lives.

Israel Assassinates Al Jazeera Journalists in Strike on Journalists’ Tent - Quds News Network Israeli forces murdered Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqa in Gaza after striking a tent used by the network’s journalists outside al-Shifa Hospital.

'He said the #Israeli military had threatened him repeatedly since the start of the genocide. “They targeted me, then my family, then my colleagues in the field,” he said. “My father was killed. They bombed us directly. All to silence my coverage.”'

Do not stop attending protests.

Do not stop marching.

FREE PALESTINE

FUCK THE IOF

Was googling rps and noticed the fsu had an article about how it’s horrible that the Chinese government intimidates people so they don’t speak out. I wish the FSU would apply that same logic to minority candidates in NZ elections. They don’t. Because they only care about white speech.

Just reading about rates rebates and thinking how older renters don’t get them when they are much worse off than older people who own houses.

Is it “they don’t want that” or “they have no choice but to do that”? Often our public transport and city design means that people don’t have a choice. Hopefully making things harder for large cars will mean we also have to fix design and funding of spaces and public transport.

I hear that the people from Dildo in Newfoundland, Canada are angry at Aotearoa for tossing their name around. Well they never did anything with it! Except for a great arrogant worms song.

I do that too. You don’t need to deflect.

Yeah. I have a Ph.D. and can’t spell particularly well at all. Spelling isn’t a prerequisite. It pisses me off that people are going “oh look the LLM model can’t do things that LLM models are not good at”. Big f*cking surprise there.

This whole "hur hur hur it was just a joke" shtick from male right wing politicians when they called out for attacking left wing women is getting very tediously tiresome

From Aukaha News on Facebook #Breaking "I’m just lost for words… it’s not me." An emotional Ellen Tamati says her photo, showing her moko kauae, has appeared this morning on billboards used by Hobson’s Pledge to campaign against the Māori Wards referendum, without her permission. Ellen wants everyone to know that her and her whānau support Māori Wards and will be voting yes in the upcoming referendum. More on this story soon. #AukahaNews If you see any billboards of Ellen Tamati’s face on them, please send photos of them and your location via email to yourstory@aukaha.news or via DM here on our Facebook page.

If I believed in hell, Hobson's Pledge would burn in it.

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

Good article about problematic gender testing:

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

next improvement was to add a white sticker to the dial so I know where it is pointing.

A picture of an oven mode selector where large ugly white labels have been stuck on it so you easily know if you are baking or grilling.

Congratulations to Bosch for using icons that are so hard to read and understand that I had to use a label maker to make my oven usable. Only took me 10 months to think of this solution.

Let her have hope!

agrowingculture 3 hours ago 2/5 This morning, Israeli forces raided and demolished the Seed Multiplication Unit of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees' (UAWC) national seed bank in Hebron. Using bulldozers and heavy machinery, the Israeli army destroyed the storage warehouses and infrastructure where essential equipment, seed materials, and tools for indigenous seed reproduction were kept. This is not just an attack on a building-its an attack on Palestinian food sovereignty, biodiversity and cultural memory.

Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.

That is lovely!

Te Ataarangi | Kāinga

I’ve been studying at Te Ataarangi this year. It’s an amazing group and a superb method. Strongly recommend. Much better than the online courses I’ve done in the past.

Peace Action Wellington completely opposes the opening of a US FBI office in Aotearoa New Zealand. The decision by the NZ government to allow a foreign country’s police force to operate here is terrifying.

Such a life affirming AGM!

The members slack has been … entertaining with the FSU and other neo liberals people going on rants regularly.

The FT View: The longer it has continued, the more it has borne the hallmarks of a vengeful assault by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government to destroy the very fabric of Palestinian society. https://on.ft.com/3UBv3Us

Fair. But unlike Ogres, those folks don't have layers. They're surface level and have no depth.

I think so. Ironically, Christianity is a foreign religion.

Picture of the Palestinian flag waving in the wind.

I know it’s not much, but it’s good to be flying this flag today. #freegaza #stopgenocide

Not sure if free speech onion was a typo or intentional, but I love it.
