Hope the people using their voice today to protest this corrupt and morally-inept government manage to stay dry and warm.

Kia kaha! Remember, the voices of the many out weigh the voices of the few. Your voices is louder than theirs!

Sending solidarity to the striking healthcare workers, teachers, and emergency workers striking today across Aotearoa New Zealand

Striking workers always win. I know you will win too. Keep up the pressure. Keep up the faith. They can’t hold out for long

A photo of former President of the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions from 2007 to 2015, and basically all-round legend, Helen Kelly. Next to her is one of her many legendary quotes... "I really think there's theis narrative running through NZ, that you're lucky to have a job, don't bite the hand that feeds you, be grateful - the job creator is the charity giver and you're the charity taker, beneficiary vs benefactor, rather than this mutual relationship - a lot of employers will say to you: "Oh, lucky to have a job, they can quit if they don't like it", or whatever, you know, this sort of derogatory understanding of the economic situation... WE DON'T GIVE UP, WE PUSH BACK" RIP Helen Kelly 1964-2016 https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/77182217/obituary-union-leader-helen-kelly

MAKE IT LOUD, AOTEAROA!

Let them know where we stand, it's what Aunty Helen would do if she were here on the #MegaStrike

"The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union"

✊

"I support striking health workers; Stand together for Health" is written over a green photo. The PSA logo is on it as well.

Black background with the words "I back the teachers" and the NZEI Te Riu Roa logo, and the kimi haeata, back our future logo.

#Oct23strike #megastrike Just adding my voice in support of all those on strike today. We can have a functioning health system, and pay our public service workers decent wages - our govt is choosing not too. I support us making different choices and backing our people and communities.

Support education and health workers!

#BHN The government keeps telling NZ that the unions need to get back to the negotiating table, while the government also refuse to accept a date for the unions to get back to the table to negotiate #nzpol #NZPolitics @chewienz.bsky.social

This is an important video to share today #megastrike

Are they about to do a Nestle and screw over their own market by using foreign based recipes the locals don't like
I could have just gotten a bad bar, but the taste of the choc coating is way off norm
#nz #cadbury

Noticed the chocolate on the Crunchy bar I bought from Woolworths tasted a bit weird
The honeycomb was almost like a foam consistency like it had been pumped fillnof air or something
Checked the label and its made in Australia
#nz #cadbury

I'm pretty sure they crashed the economy to allow the Americans to take advantage of the market to help continue to fund their Proxy genocide, would be fun if the National party got strung up alongside them at the Hague
Let's not forget they're also the dumbasses that supported the invasion of Iraq

Genuinely curious if the teachers running the schools have considered switching over to being a charter school and switching to a curriculum based on international standards just to screw with the dumbfuck NZ govt who does not understand how long it takes to plan lessons

bluesky got me hooked by showing me posts by people I like and follow on purpose

Health Minister Simeon Brown mulls law change over feud with striking doctors Simeon Brown says a change to laws 'may well have to be considered' if the stoush isn't resolved.

Does anyone wanna explain to Simeon that a union is made up of the workers. That it is those workers that make the decisions of a union.

Cause he's blaming unions in the same sentence he's praising the people in them.

I think he's confusing a union for his own govt.

Full stack, here we come
Highly recommend the Mimo app for any other first timers, the colour coding helping to learn the different attributes etc has been incredibly helpful in learning what different things do

Engagement on the site without compromising user safety or allowing an outside influence to control the flow of information

Just my thoughts, though I shall leave it up to more experienced minds to figure out if this is possible

Perhaps a staggered rollout for feedback

extended circle of people idea, and that it could remove the potential for things like bots to influence and control what I do and don't see by influencing tagged traffic
I'm only just learning to code, so I'm by no means an expert, but perhaps it is something worth exploring to increase user

#bluesky @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app could potentially be more engaging if there was a mandatory explore feed based on the users engagement
I'm not technically competent, however, what I would personally prefer is to go back to an algorithm that's based on my own data, rather than the

Here's to science

#upscrolled #tiktok #freepalestine #freedomofspeech

We have a viable Instagram/tiktok replacement, there's a #twitter like #threads function
Easy AF to use #upscrolled
Based in Australia as far as I can tell
If anyone is still on #x or #tiktok and is looking for a new vestige of free speech unimpeded by the zionazis this is probably it
#freepalestine

You need to make a wider release availability on Skylight if you are going to replace tiktok, you already have a competitor in Upscrolled, don't make the same mistake by delaying too long and reprioritise to take advantage of the fact they need a new place to go
