Is underpaying the Mariners on the Vega a form of modern slavery? Currently the former Interislander is in Tasman bay (Nelson) awaiting permission to sail to India to be wrecked. Both India and New Zealand have yet to approve her final voyage. More to come on #RNZ

Why is the Aratere ferry still in New Zealand waters?
It was retired in August and sold for scrap in October, yet its currently sitting in Nelson Harbour.

EVERYONE needs to read Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social “They Knew” right now. She has been writing about & tying together loose ends about this “president”, our government & ties to foreign interests for well over a decade now. If you don’t know of her work, I cannot recommend it enough.

I've just put up today's episode of 'the monkey and the queen' on my Substack. The protagonist muses on othering non human creatures. Possibly as he's being slowly consumed by an alien entity. A 5 to 7 minute read. Next episode on Wednesday. #scifi #writer #romance

Fridays episode of #theattackofthevenusianqueens from #monkeyandthequeen drops on lukewigram.substack.com at 5pm #newzealand time. A 5-7 minute read. The protagonist muses on othering people as he is slowly cooked by a brain scanner. Working as a corporate slave is hell, but tomorrow is Friday...

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

It’s devastating to watch the most sociopathic people deny our kids a future that’s not filled with hardship.

“When you jackhammer into the sewer, you get covered in shit. That’s what the Epstein Files are: shit. Unredacted to antagonize the victims; redacted to protect the perpetrators; released in a slow drip to acclimatize people to horror; released in an enormous drop to overwhelm people with fear.”
New article! On the Epstein files, the cruelty of the release, and the crimes that came before: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/jackhammer...

Once again wondering if there will ever be any accountability for the Nats breaking immigration rules to give Peter Fucking Thiel nz citizenship.
It’s a stain on our nation and worse, he can just come and live here any time.
Ask the PM if he supports Citizen Thiel. Get him on the fucking record.

The National solution to violence at emergency departments will be to post more security guards. The better solution would be to increase health funding so that ED can handle the patient loads, and to work towards reducing acute demand in the long term.

Last repost: this is what I've been trying to say. We can't be suprised that the wealthiest most powerful people on the planet choose to abuse young girls, because it happens everywhere that men are allowed power over women. At work, church, school, home. Men are empowered. Women, disempowered.
