Is it time for my self-defense lecture again?
Lots of folks ask me what the best self-defense thing is to train. I always answer: track and field.
The best thing you can do to defend yourself is not be where someone can hurt you. Running away is ideal.

Thought provoking article by Manu Caddie.
"The land is already giving us clear signals. Slips occur where geology predicts. Rivers carry what hillsides release. Roads fail where risk is concentrated. The only remaining uncertainty is political will."

Some places were never meant to be permanent settlement sites. Which can be difficult to accept now that whenua is divided by colonial constructs into property titles & the option to just relocate to a safer place costs millions, even for very small communities... #nzpol #LandUse

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

This is a pogrom
More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

The SAVE Act has passed the House, making it harder for 69 million American women to vote.
This isn’t about voter fraud or undocumented immigrants.
This is about suppressing the female vote.
They want to repeal the 19th and this is a step in that direction.

If the government can take away your voting rights for a felony conviction, and they also decide what constitutes a felony, and they also decide who’s charged with the felony, and they also decide who’s prosecuted for the felony, you don’t have a right to vote.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

I think it quite likely that these results would be replicated in New Zealand.
Australian Census on University Staff Wellbeing results are out. Every uni recorded scores indicating high/very high psych risk.
And in news surprising no one, "only senior execs and deans rated their workplaces as medium or low risk while all other staff groups reported high-risk conditions."
