It's funny when the local school lets the kids out for their morning run-around and they just SCREAM. It's SCREAMS carried up the hill on the breeze. Imagine if we still did that, went out of a building and screamed?

Aren't we all so pleased the libertarian deregulations started with the early childhood sector? Such a cool place to relax regulations. Such a makes-sense place to be a bit more lax about stuff. About $ome $tuff anyway <-- see what I did there?

Honestly, the IPCA report into the police (mis)handling of the McSkimming case makes for jaw-dropping reading.
But it’s 135 pages long so I’ve read it for you.
Here’s my report on one of the most serious failures of integrity in modern policing history⬇️⬇️

The inside story of how police protected a senior cop, and prosecuted his accuser instead
For years, police leadership ignored warnings about Jevon McSkimming. The IPCA has set out the chain of failures.

I am anxious and premenstrual and this is the way I am currently thinking about my novel-in-progress:
The elder Millennials are now middle-aged, perimenopausal, and depressed about the climate crisis and the fact they can't afford housing 🙃 it's a comedy

I am so ugh in despair about the government. Leave the kids alone. I filled in last night a school questionnaire for the board and popped off about changes to the curricula and Ed. Act. Didn't realise the Act changes were happening today!

This is the intent. Forget whatever flowery words Erica uses. They want your child growing up in a NZ that is blind to its history. That’s not learning, it’s indoctrination.
