One photo a day, from in and around Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Great to see this being reported, horrific as it is that it NEEDS to be reported in the first place.

About three and a half hours until this cursed year draws to a close. Good riddance, 2025.
Let’s all sincerely hope for - and work to realise - a better 2026.

The UK Guardian is transphobic trash, but this is the good stuff.
Bottom line: banning vital healthcare for kids kills kids. Anyone who passes and pushes this sort of policy simply doesn’t care or more likely really wants fewer trans kids in the world, no matter how that happens. Fucking ghouls.

Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.
