I got the new covid vaccine on Monday. My teens only have to wait another 11 and 13 years respectively until they can get another one in NZ. 🤯
Afterwards I pushed the high school, yet again, for clear comms telling parents to keep symptomatic kids home from school and school activities, noting this

Stunning!!!

In my mind it is a deeply Vangelis- inspired project that sits alongside Eyeliner in select, limited release vinyl crates

Oh and the "guilt-free" or "sinless" terms? I already didn't feel guilt?!

Sort of like when they blew off all their trade agreements with arbitrary tariffs, or when the IDF planted bombs in pagers. We now live in the world they chose in which they must be treated as hostile and untrustworthy, even with "allies".

So many steps today!

I feel like anxiety and anger have some deep connections, going both ways. Anxiety as a way to not feel angry, anger as a defense against anxiety.

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

For those who work where I work, there was an organisational "Heads up, there is a lot of covid around" email went out a bit after 5pm today (Sunday)

Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it

Note for locals: if you are anywhere near Auckland Uni this coming week there will be ten thousand teenagers on your bus or crossing major roads at unpredictable locations. Individually they are wonderful people and the future of the country, but collectively they can be a lot.

Gender critical folks also don't believe us when we tell them "sex-based rights" is an idea they themselves made up in just the last handful of years.

Hello, I’m a community organiser who doesn’t read the news much.

I organise actions with volunteers. I train them to have important conversations. I identify trends within these connections.

But I don’t read the news that much.

If you can’t take the onslaught, take action instead. Volunteer!!!

sorry but I can't stand this type of "lets reframe the humans over there" BS, I know why it is being done, but as a Turkish queer woman who never set foot in Iran, I genuinely do not give a single fuck if they are queer, or friendly to queer people, or have tattoos.

I regularly come back to Sarah Kendzior’s expert advice that the Trump administration is a “transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government” and cannot shake the thought that on multiple fronts New Zealand is behaving as if we would like in on that racket.

We have a child's illustrated book of 18th and 19th century literature. It happened to be in the downstairs lavatory when my wife took our 2 y.o. grandson in there as he was starting to learn to use the child's seat adapter.
