I was thinking more like a Fonterra fertiliser concoction in a piece of rusty Wellington water pipe, but that also works.

Biggest 6 month rise in youth (15-19) unemployment this millennia,
Q3 2023 - Q1 2024 + 6.9% (28400 unemployed to 42100).
Biggest Annual 2008-2009 (+6.8%, 26200 to 35200 unemployed), 2nd biggest annual 2023-2024 (+5.4%, 30500 to 38800 unemployed).
This is not caused by youths playing video games.

It is offensive for the person supposedly in charge of the government and its economic levers to suggest that youths, and their playstationing ways, are responsible for the most rapid surge in unemployment since the Great Financial Crash
Youth (age 15 to 19) unemployment

My cartoon in today’s The Post, The Press and Waikato Times www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3608...

Jane lived by her ideals. She was a tireless advocate for the natural world. Now the baton’s been passed onto us & the younger generation. Thank u for your continuous championing for those without a voice
Cartoon. Jane Goodall is sitting on the branch of a jungle tree. She is holding her favourite chimpanzee of all time called David Greybeard. There are vines wrapping around the branch and clouds to denote heaven. The quote, “The greatest danger to our future is apathy. You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. Jane Goodall 1934-2025.

This is the part where I rage into the void about how the quarterly property management inspections expect your home to be showroom level when they come through. Anyway I’ll be raging through next Tuesday KTHXBAI

This maybe says a lot as to why they used it. Or maybe it doesn’t.
DALEK PINPOINT
Dalek Pinpoint font channels the futuristic aesthetic of the iconic "Doctor Who" series
while incorporating elements of ancient script.
Its bold, geometric letterforms and intricate detailing create a sense of mystery and intrigue, perfect for projects that require a blend of sci-fi and historical themes.

Maybe a better question: what employers will allow their employees leave to protest against a genocide-complicit government during a work week & which are happy to be on the wrong side of this. It’s a tough spot tho; tank the economy so missing any days becomes a high risk, which keeps us in line.
wadepool.wtf
Is “complicit w/genocide” the thing that gets AoNZ to general strike? Economy is shite, fullscale culture war on te ou Māori & Te Tiriti, fossil fuel exploration/environmental exploitation everywhere, attack on equality. Or is it still “she’ll be right” into fascism? Asking for fkn all of us. #nzpol
