My husband's company is facing 40k A MONTH in extra fuel charges. He works in river management. Who pays that? Council. I never want to read another post from an American on this app that says, "People who aren't in America shouldn't comment on US politics."

FYI, my husband's company has requested he fill up before midnight tomorrow because Z told them there will be a massive petrol hike after that time. #nzpol

It's really remarkable that we've gone 45 years without an energy crisis then this putz who is certainly old enough to remember it and venerates the post crisis 1980s would go about causing or exacerbating the same things that caused the crises of the 1970s.

It's not a "sensitive topic" if you have the courage of your convictions. These people are always trying to say, "I'm not MAGA, I just voted for policy" and then twist their logic into impossible knots to justify the most horrific actions by a fascist state.

The threat to women in sport is leadership who don't understand what motivates women to play, team culture, and how it differs from men's sport. An association just hiring a token woman as manager or coach is meaningless if that woman doesn't have expertise in this. It's insulting to players.

Just remembering how Luxon bought a new Tesla EV when there was a Clean Car Discount, then cancelled the policy so others couldn't do it, and is now canning the Clean Car Standards and adding a new tax to petrol.

What a guy.

Now I just need to quiet that little voice that tells me I'm not even a hungry caterpillar, let alone a dangerous butterfly. When I get rid of that mean, self-sabotaging narrator, watch out world.

perimenopausal depression and I had to shrink myself to be able to sustain enough energy to parent my children. Now, in my 50s, I feel like I've come out of a cocoon and balanced the I Said What I Said and non-reactive sides of myself and I feel like a dangerous butterfly.

When I was in my 20s, I was balls to the wall, take no shit, a living example of I Said What I Said. In my 30s I realised that meant that sometimes I was unneccesarily an arsehole. So I tried to soften, pause a beat before replying, mitigate my reactive instincts. Then, in my 40s, I had bad

Bluesky overindexes on humorless scolds and people doing identity formation by arguing with something you didn't say but that doesn't make it an echo chamber; it means the place has an institutional culture, and I much prefer that culture to fending off Nazis with a block button that doesn't work

I'll take this in one more direction. How about when you're reading for a lit review and you come across something that's NOT relevant, but you mentally file it away, and then years later, it becomes the cornerstone of something else? A whole new project? gAI can't do this.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

I thought I was in following and can't see that anyone I know reposted or liked that. Sometimes I'm in kikorangi without knowing. Lol probably was there.

Instead of being weird, explain why a normal person who supposedly cares about the dignity of others describes people as high status and uses that as in opposition to poor.

I'm scrolling my timeline to see how that bizarre person ended up in my feed but I can't figure it out. I don't think anyone I follow is a secret conservative. Been a long time since I posted regularly, feed is still not algorithm based, right?

Let's be clear. All workers are high status and deserve protections under the law even if it's work you would never want to do. We have a long way to go but we should have dignity and respect for all workers.

Internet clout? Ahhh, I see, I was right in the first place about your little performance. You use terms like high status without thought because you don't understand what you're saying. You can go back to your own thread now and try to convince those people your ideas are your own.
