I’m not calling for violence against Tamaki and his thugs (they’d probably welcome the chance to retaliate), but I’m all for a strong turnout to Tamaki’s divisive march against immigration January 31.
I’ve got too much on to organise, I’ll def be there.

For those about to put their bodies in harm’s way. This has every sign things are going to get ugly.
Hongkongers' guide on tear gas, 2026 edition:
Tear gas canisters send particles into the air. When those particles come into contact with your skin, eyes or lungs, they mess you up. The goal of treatment is to get these particles off you. That's it.

He’s reached the dgaf stage and he’s just going to do what he wants regardless of anything.
Sure. Just thrilled to know we're starting a land war in South America based on very nebulous reasons.🙄
Trump on his boat strikes: "We're gonna start very soon on land, and I'm sure you're thrilled to hear that."

It’s not the overfishing. It’s right there in the headline.
I get that whitebait is a delicacy, but surely we need to ban fishing for it for a season or two otherwise it'll disappear altogether?

JFC. Awful. Just fucking awful.
I've had a pretty shocking 72 hours. You probably know the Wellington region is notorious for its dirty politics - and I just got a very personal taste. The time to take a stand is right now.

Honestly, fuck the Washington Post and its owner
First she didn’t reconceive anything. Lots of widows have stepped into husband’s shoes including CIVIL RIGHTS leaders. Second, one figure doesn’t reset everyone. Third, this an idiotic take that elevates racist authoritarians as trend setters. So glad I cancelled my subscription.

Been a bit absent lately - busy doing our kitchen, amongst other things (will provide pictures for those who’d like to see 🤠).
Those other things include running for Albert-Eden Local Board in the Maungawhau subdivision (Kingsland, Mt Eden, Epsom).

Evidence-based. Means the Greens are ahead of the curve. Again.

I think it says a lot about NZ's Green Party being environment/ecosystem/science based rather than some of the cultural trends in other countries, that the Green Party had the fewest voters who had never had a covid vaccination 0.34%.
32.5% of NZ First voters say they never had a covid vaccination.
