PLEASE USE THIS OPTION IF YOU'RE GOING To SIGN UP.

I adjusted my prices up a wee bit but didn't realise the price I saw was USD and so now it's way too expensive and I am not worth it.

I cannot change this for 31 days.

Mum has helpfully given me a new bio for my patreon page after reading my last rant:

"Good Patreon but laced with too much profanities/swearing"

such evocative patriotic imagery

A snippet of my Patreon article about making lethal weapons in NZ:

"Imagine watching footage of an Israeli bomb strike on a hospital and spotting a ‘NEW ZEALAND MADE’ Kiwi on the casing. Seeing a missile fired into a refugee camp with "KIA KAHA" emblazoned on the side? Ah. The tears would well with pride. That will be the day I know New Zealand is truly a country punching above its weight, when we contribute to the killing of innocents by another country punching below its."

We’ve been repeatedly told that businesses create jobs. So surely we should be penalising businesses for not creating enough jobs.

Just a reminder. Our politicians are actively choosing to hurt people with these policies.

And we choose to watch it.

There are choices.

Actually, humanity—living on a planet that can amply supply the needs of all humans—does owe everyone literal living.

Because the only reason anyone in 2025 can’t access the resources needed to live is because people are intentionally keeping them away from them.

David Cormack @davidcormack.bsky.social · 3d

god help me. this is just cruelty. these are human beings, you monsters.

What sect of Christianity ignores these:

“Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.”

Or

“One thing you still lack. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
