it's going logarithmic!
there's a cruelly meta humour to this outcome that I love lol
A full half of extremist tip offs police in NZ deal with relate to white supremacy. Pākehā - check on your brothers

There were 19 reported covid related deaths last week and a big uptick in hospitalizations. We're in a wave.
We haven't been hearing much about it, so I'm pleased to see this article on Stuff.
I'm still on windows 10 and have no interest in moving
NZ First is now consistently using nazi catchphrases in party political statements. you'd think that media *at least* would be pillorying him for this, and yet...
Tech bros are literally war criminals
fortunately we have an mmp system so there is no need to vote for them as a "lesser evil" play
Labour isnt left-wing, they're a bourgeois party that the sooner they're made redundant the better. there is no future in pretending to like them because they're not as opportunistic and greedy as another ruling class party...
this is beyond something that needs to be framed as 'personal opinion' at this point
it's not only the correct moral, ethical and political stance in the face of US collapse into fascism and open war - it's correct purely on personal risk to NZ's residents
A rainbow background, with the words "It's Release Day!". Pictures is the cover of Rainbow Stars Unite, an Anthology of Queer Writing from Tāmaki Makaurau. The cover has yellow letters a green kawakawa leaf design, and a tuī bird on it.
I know I'm not supposed to cross the streams, but as my mainstream alterego Hiria Dunning, I've spent 8 months putting this together. ALL proceeds go to OutLine Aotearoa, so you can get some good reading in and feel good about your money helping others if you buy it: books2read.com/RainbowStars
A fat white woman in a white two piece outfit and silver net dress posed on a pole, holding on with one knee hooked on the pole, the other leg and torso basically horizontal, toes perfectly pointed. She has one arm raised over her head like she's despairing at how fucking eager people are to have a group of marginalized people to shit on, and she looks fucking great
Fatphobia is capitalist propaganda, kiss my fabulous ass
can we stop saying Tangi is the first novel by a Maaori writer plz thx
His treatment of teachers during negotiations the time before last imo showed he is neither intelligent nor kind but another neoliberal mercenary failing to the top.
This is an absolute disgrace. The disproportionate suffering of Māori and Pacific children and their families is an outcome of deliberate policy choices and an ongoing refusal to confront institutional racism in Aotearoa.

the first act does such a good job of depicting generational struggle for change that when it becomes about depressed gods feelings it undoes so much of its good work
a line through the top of the screen, and a dot with the text "Jul 2025 - Feb 2026" text underneath reads "NZ First seeks input from unions on amendments to the ERA Bill. The Workers First president, secretaries, solicitors and other unions meet NZ First MP's on three occasions to discuss opposition and legal issues with the Bill."
a line through the top of the screen, and a dot with the text "Feb 2026" text underneath reads "The ERA Bill passes. Winston Peters and NZ First take no position, make no critique, and vote down every Opposition attempt to amend the Bill."
a line through the top of the screen, and a dot with the text "Feb 2026". The line goes curvy after this dot text underneath reads "Winston Peters lies to the media about his subservience to the ACT Party: "Peters said on Thursday he had "no doubt" he would have been able to stop the law if unions had approached him earlier"*" small print reads "*rnz.co.nz/news/political/587347/winston-peters-has-no-doubt-he-could-ve-stopped-contractors-law-if-unions-went-to-him-earlier"
a very quiggly line through the top of the screen, ending with a dot. text underneath reads "Now, workers know where they stand with NZ First, who lack the backbone or the ability to stand up to their far-right coalition colleagues. Workers will not forget this at the voting booths in November."
2/2 The timeline that led to Winston Peters and NZ First bending the knee to ACT, letting down New Zealand workers, and lying to the media. #nzpol

do we understand why using the term 'move on' in the headline, even in quotes, is bad journalism?
do we understand how it directly creates cover for social murder?
if so, why are nz media outlets *still* doing this?
love that labour are supporting scrutiny for something that only helps poor buggers. love what that signals. u absolutely don't have to give it to them labour when the govt uses the conceit of fair lawmaking to shit on the working poor again.
I feel bad when I read people who say they hate writing, especially to the extent they’d let an LLM do it. Writing was the path to making me feel human and the emotional journey of doing it all the time fills me full of purpose. I refuse to believe I’m the only person who feels like this!
yeah I don't want the art theft machine to do anything with my writing
"Hipkins would not commit to ring-fencing any amount of money for climate resilience or having a "fully-worked through policy" before the election" tell me more about what you're not prepared to do Chippy. 🙄 Labour Party members what the fuck is going on in ur party??
Every time I say 'Land Back' some block me. That tells me it needs to be said a whole lot more. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. Land Back. 🪶💯
re protests at pride // everyone who is against our queer whaanau should be made to feel unsafe in all public settings / and they definitely should never ever be given a fucking platform at pride
like with any social media it's cos people i love are still there / like would i choose to be on Instagram or Facebook still? no / but that is how these things work / would love to use Signal for all my personal correspondence but alas hardly anyone i know uses it
its what I wanted social media to be in the first place
more and more we need actual adults in leadership who see the world generationally rather than rich pieces of shit so invested in class war they would have us all dead for a quick buck
I don't currently have the words for my anger and frustration seeing climate events happen all over the motu and knowing - we could have been better prepared. We could have made different choices. People don't have to die.
I'm trying terribly hard to not be bitter.
Letterboxd screenshot Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022 Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.
i often think about this review
