If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall

Flotilla activist's partner 'shocked’ at NZ Govt's lack of response to abductions Melbourne-based doctor held by Israel denied medicine and kept in 'frightening and degrading' conditions, as New Zealand and Australia remained silent over abductions.

Why are people still buying and talking about Teslas when Elon Musk has shown the world who he is.

“We must commit ourselves to saying what we want to see realized, and not just complain about what is going wrong.”

Would love to see some Greenpeace boats on the water in solidarity.

I am writing urgently to request your advocacy for the safe return of New Zealand citizens Youssef Sammour, Rana Hamida, and Samuel Leason, who were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza. 🧵2

New Zealander, Sam Leason, detained by the IDF

Shameful to watch as our cowardly and useless govt does nothing - not even the smallest thing of recognizing Palestine as a state. #freepalestine

Israeli forces board Gaza-bound aid flotilla, detain activists At least six ships have been boarded by the Israeli navy so far and more interceptions are expected to take place.

A crowd scene from the pro Palestine rally in Auckland in which a girl in a sparkly red dress waves a small chiffon scarf from her seat on her dads shoulders. A sign is visible which reads: Ashamed of NZs stance on genocide.

I’m standing holding Palestinian flags with another friend from the Whangarei Palestine Solidarity network at the Auckland rally.

No more excuses, time to sanction Israel for their war crimes!!!

Good job this woman

Genocide is enabled by things like RNZ having no front page stories on Gaza for weeks, and a top billing now for 20 killed by tornados in the USA.

I’m very sad for those people, but if 20 is the trigger for a news story, where are the Gaza stories in our papers!?

Just reading Watercress Tuna and the children of Champion Street (for the 100th time) to my moko - what an incredible colab between Patricia Grace and Robyn Kahukiwa.

‘Of the almost 300,000 submissions accepted by the committee, Newsroom understands analysis has found about 8 percent support Act’s view, while 90 percent oppose the Treaty Principles Bill, and 2 percent have no strong view either way.’ ♥️🖤

New at this but drying our blue corn today, saving some for seed & might have a go at grinding them into flour.

Every child in Gaza is me. Every mother and father is me. Every house is my heart. Every tree is my leg. Every plant is my arm. Every flower is my eye. Every hole in the earth is my wound. -Mosab Abu Toha

Took an injured Kōtare to the bird recovery centre in Whangārei and it was the sweetest experience! dive bombed by birds at the door & a lovely old guy let the Kōtare latch on to his finger, explaining that the aggression was a sign of good recovery. They’ll call me to pick her up if she makes it 🙏🏽

‘A nightmare come true’: Palestinians flee again after Israel’s attacks on Gaza

Shameful, inhumane and criminal cruelty allowed to continue from US-backed Israel. Genocide and ethnic cleansing in full view.

Legal Threats Made to Gender-Affirming Health Professionals in NZ A letter puts recipients “on notice” that they may one day face “legal action” for offering gender affirming care.

This is despicable bullshit and Stephen Franks is an embarrassment to the profession of law. The sole intent of this empty-arsed stunt appears to be to intimidate health professionals. www.webworm.co/p/legalthrea...

White supremacy in action not only in the brutal and disgusting attack but also in the headline.

When Seymour’s the voice of reason on this one we’re really in trouble. Peter’s and Jones need to go.

Priceless ♥️

Including Palestine right?

2.30am is when I find out the giant dog I’m looking after is terrified of storms and needs to literally sleep on top of me with some classical music playing. One of us is now fast asleep.

Storm warning in Te Taitokerau - wind and rain picking up outside and my phone battery is currently on 3% - time to charge it and make sure I have lots of water in case power goes out.
