A country surrounded by the ocean, with active geothermal zones, buffeted by winds and basking in sunshine should not be relying on tanker loads of oil, gas and coal shipped half way across the world to run its energy network.
Thanks for sharing this! π
Same! Glad itβs not just me
I love how my phone kept autocorrecting skink to skunk!! π€¦π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈπ I literally never talk about skunks, but I talk about skinks all the time!
Donβt worry (too much), they arenβt native skinks, they are an introduced, kinda-invasive Australian skunk called the plaque skunk! All except one of our ~140 native species give birth to live young!!
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me

Recent events show that climate change impacts can be hyper local, and specific areas seem to be getting hit by the same extreme weather repeatedly.
What ideas do you all have on the priorities for an incoming government in building community resilience & preparedness for extreme weather?

Another week, another state of emergency!
We need a government that is willing to do all it can to mitigate the impacts of our new climate.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
Our latest.
So tough to see South Waikato/King Country hit with severe weather again, including tragic loss of life. Look after each other out there! Kia kaha, kia manawanui β€οΈβπ©Ή
How do we engage voters in Aotearoa? Hononga - connection! Where are the relatable politicians? Those who care that folx are struggling, that hospitals, schools, universities are underfunded; that Te Tiriti is a toanga and Aotearoa embraces diversity and doesnβt discriminate! #NZWiL

Those numbers are almost unbelievable! Weβre all on the edge of our seats watching this unfold; that is for sharing these updates!
Time for the 3-30-300 Rule to be Planning Law
And funded by a 50% FAR scheme with Central Gov or with any urban renewal 85% EFAR rate
FAR and EFAR = Funding or Enchanced Funding Assistant Rate
It is a formula NZTA uses with local authorities for transport but can be adapted to Green Infrastructure
I absolutely adore pΕ«tangitangi, and itβs so wonderful to see someone else who clearly loves them as much! Thank you for your wonderful duck content.
Wait for it, wait for itβ¦

Selfie of a man (with beard and glasses) sitting in field with a young donkey resting his head on the top of the manβs heading, looking like a disembodied donkey head hat.
Donkey Hat!
My dogs do that too!
I really really hate the new look iOS. Itβs like cheesy late nineties MS WordArt aesthetic and is an awful user experience.
Why isnβt there any way to turn it off!? I know this is a super minor issue in the context of the world, but better consumer testing was needed before releasing it.
The admission that the police are deliberately siphoning off correspondence to the PM and the Minister of Police from members of the public to make sure it is never seen sure strikes at the heart of a democracy. Corruption at the top level. Heads must roll.
Wow! Itβs pouring here in the Waikato! π
just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
Itβs corporate greed. Itβs an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
I just signed this; letβs get this one going!
Petition of Bevan OβConnor: Withdraw the Regulatory Standards Bill

Yeah my sense of smell has never been the same. And although it recovers a bit after each bout, I feel itβs got worse overall with every time Iβve had Covid (3-4 times now - one time never had a positive test).
this should surprise absolutely no one at all.
But will be said regardless. At volume.
Unbelievable!
Oh true! Hadnβt put those two things together in my mind π
