I’m so glad as a nation we decided to massively invest in renewables - oh wait 🤔🥴🤦♀️

Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz. 20 to 30% of all oil flows through the Straits of Hormuz. Oil traders here in Houston are predicting oil that was trading at $73 a barrel will soar to over $100 by Monday morning. Energy stocks will soar. So will the cost at the pump. All Trump’s fault #PB #USD

If people wanna know just how dire the nz economy is right now - I’ve just spent the last 11 days out of 12 working 3 different jobs and I just had to cut my own hair 🥴 💇♀️ #nzpol
NZ is an international outlier in that more than half of those experiencing homelessness are women, often with dependent children. A "housing first" approach makes a huge difference to their lives (and men's), writes @universityofotago.bsky.social's Brodie Fraser theconversation.com/new-police-p...
Quick reminder that The Dawn Raids only targeted brown people at a time when our largest group of overstayers came from England.
In a career first, I am proud to have received credit on the latest episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. I was consulted regarding Elon Musk and X's involvement in the Southport disinformation and the subsequent riots. You can watch the episode here:

Are we ever gonna talk about the impact these climate change related weather events have on our children? Have you seen the anxiety it causes? Every time it rains being worried about flooding, your home, your family? The anxiety caused in your household. Impacts on wellbeing, learning etc.. #nzpol
I am not ready for it be this cold 🥶

We shred a lot of mail. Identity theft was becoming a big problem in the uk when we left in 2011. When I sell things on TradeMe I only use the Ping and cash option, I’d never give someone my bank details (still blows my mind that we do that). Weird how these things stick in your mind and behaviour.
I definitely dressed for the forecast 🥴

If you don't agree with this observation, it's probably because you don't know enough about the history of radium as a do-everything product.
Feel like unfollowing all the people doing that AI caricature thing.
Or any remote jobs for a Project Manager/finance person. Can start asap.
Here is my bank account. Any little funds, even a little bit would help. But not if people are struggling, that would make me feel worse.

#nzpol All workers have a right to be kept safe, healthy, and secure after a natural disaster. Make sure you know your rights at work after a disaster or emergency:
If you think that seeing an image of a 5yo being arrested by ICE is going to change MAGA minds, remind yourself that British bigots and racists weren't swayed by the image of a drowned child who was seeking asylum.
They will do anything to not admit that they're the monsters.
the weird thing about reporting on ICE in america is that my old fear was being tear gassed or pepper sprayed or arrested and deported to new zealand. now the fear is being shot dead, and quickly, and then the american government defaming me & my family in every single way possible
i've been out in minneapolis all day, talking to locals and trying to wrap my head around the murder of alex pretti. it's 11.23pm, and this is what i've arrived at. please RT, it's free to read: www.webworm.co/alexpretti/

If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.
Exactly! A reminder that when you put your body on the line to defend communities against white supremacy you lose your proximity to whiteness. Non-white communities have been dealing with this level of violence since forever.
i was at the scene shortly after ICE executed a man they were piled on top of. my report and photos are on webworm: www.webworm.co/icekillsagain/
"There is no justification for letting that many bullets go. That's messed up, That is no regard for life at all" a lifelong resident told me.
fuck ice.
As an NHS clinical psychologist, I can say pretty much everything here is contributing to the distress people are feeling. It's so validating- to feel heard & understood. This is not the usual 'political spin', this is a presentation of reality that so many people live every day. Thank you.
