Well, that didn’t go how I hoped it would. To say I’m a little disappointed in the NZ voting public’s decision on Māori wards is an understatement. Here’s a thought about aspiring to the bare minimum (& given our #nitrate problem even that might be too much)

Cartoon. Title: “A Traditional Local Body Election Blessing” Image shows a fairy with a wand, dressed in orange, beside a levitating voting box. She’s saying, “May all your municipal dreams come true!” And then, “And if you can’t have that, may your reticulated water be potable”

We’re learning about activists in Grade 3 - Terry Fox, Phyllis Webstad, Jane Goodall, Greta Thunberg, Viola Desmond, and more.

I can’t wait to see their reactions when we talk about Portland next week and watch some of these videos.

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”

For more than a century, Portland’s city commission was dominated by affluent white men; only 10 women ever served, and just two were women of color.

That changed in 2024. More in the latest Weekend Reading:

It sure did, and some of us said so; some, like Susan Faludi, in her book The Terror Dream, wrote brilliantly about such language. More said we were being hysterical. My point isn't "told ya so"; it's that language really matters.

Carney spoke on collaborating with the US in protecting the Arctic - after Trump rolled out a red carpet for murderer Putin and pitched him an idea to monetize Alaska together with China? Ugh. Let’s talk about it more later today.
