Late for kid pick up. Why? Because the highway onramp is closed due to subsidence plus SLR plus full moon, high tide,.Across the street from the on-ramp is a site where a five story affordable housing project has been approved to be built at grade. We totally have this climate adaptation thing down!

When the PM says ‘we don’t owe them a living’, we should be clear that this is not a metaphor.

A living is life. And I want to live in a society in which it is clear that this is the least we owe each other, and are owed. 💞

I’d like us to aim for lives lived in dignity and with joy, personally 🤷‍♀️

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Hundreds of teens with a health condition, disability may be cut from Jobseeker benefit
The government is ending Jobseeker payments to 18- and 19 year olds whose parents earn more than $65,000.

Vote! Vote in your local election! Post your vote by 5pm today! It matters. Hayden explains this more hilariously than I can: thespinoff.co.nz/politics/06-...
One hundred and eighty five billion dollars. That's the estimated bill to repair our terrible water infrastructure and experts think that estimate is too low. Why is it going to cost so much? Mainly because angry people who didn't want to pay rates were the only ones who voted in local elections. They elected other angry people who didn't want to raise rates and those people kept costs down via the foolproof method of "letting the pipes rot in the ground". Just a few years ago, 8,000 people in and around Havelock North got poisoned when sheep poo seeped into some poorly maintained water infrastructure. Four people died! Wellington's streets are now equal parts sewage and concrete. For a while there people in Otago were drinking lead.

To that person who decades ago some shitty little spotty oik of a teenager upset you when you were clearly so stressed you'd come to the computer lab late in the evening to work I am sorry.

So very sorry.

I felt so bad and guilty - seeing the result of my actions directly to the person I had targeted instead of a faceless bunch of characters entirely changed my opinions on hackers and hacking.

They are real people with real lives being messed with.

With an overwhelming sense of power as soon as she logged in and started work I disabled her machine for a laugh. She gasped, cried, and left in tears.

A billion years ago when universities had computer labs with desktop machines I stumbled across a post on how to disable a machine if you knew its IP address. I was in the lab late finishing an assignment and another student came in.

Drove past Blenheim's solar park yesterday.

I like seeing the sheep grazing underneath the panels.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her
tireless advocacy for the environment...

Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world!

I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago.

Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

Let's hope that Hipkins doesn't just expect to win. He and Labour actually need to put some effort in.
