Struggling w/ chronic pain or complex illness often involves the experience of trying like hell to minimize what you express (or even acknowledge) about what you're going through so you don't feel like you're "attention seeking"-- & still getting sh*t for being "always sick."

Husband emailed the local dentist to suggest they implement clean air mitigations and help attract clients. He met with the interested practice manager/owner today… did the run down on all the ‘tools’. They’re aware that people aren’t attending, especially older people /1

Just yesterday BVV stated "My focus as Minister is on finding efficiencies and building business confidence". This comes at the expense of employees' safety, and any semblance of fairness and good faith between the parties. I support the NZCTU's comments in the attached thread.

NZ outlets somehow able to pull quotes from far-right *podcasts* so they can verbatim headline Netanyahu, but unable to do same for any of the *clearly genocidal language* or facts published *even by Israeli state media* over last 2 years There's no justifiable reason for that

Seems good for Aotearoa NZ - all that profit going to an offshore company who'll no doubt be interested in making even MORE money. Time to start buying dairy from small local producers as much as possible and affordable, I reckon rnz.co.nz/news/business/…

Israeli-made drones not ruled out by NZ Defence Force. This should be an easy decision for a government with a spine. rnz.co.nz/news/top/57068…

#ChlöeSwarbrick Stood Up for #Palestine. Will #NZ MPs Follow Suit? The #GreenParty's co-leader was ejected from NZ Parliament after giving a speech about Palestine. The incident exposed her government's moral failing over the war in Gaza #genocide #nzpol au.rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

hooray, they've actually reported something at the top of the website not hooray, they're still republishing genocidally complicit Israeli PR without caveat or context

The Israelis are invading Gaza city, which is officially in a stage 5 famine. They are killing a destitute and starving population. Do you understand what is happening here?

‘Research shows 14% of students skip meals weekly due to financial hardship, leading to score drops of 42–76 points across subjects, equivalent to 2–4 years of lost learning.’ thejackalman.blogspot.com/2025/08/curric…

Evergreen tweet.

Never forget how social media was flooded with statements denying this and the extent to which you were lied to

Facebook is a bunch of people you’ve met in person but don’t care at all about your life Twitter is a bunch of people you’ve only met online who care about you so much

Why does it anger people so much that disabled and chronically ill people are just trying not to become MORE disabled/chronically ill by protecting themselves during a pandemic?

do news outlets understand that when you print this on the front page of your website, without caveat, that the immediate brand and trust damage is immediate, immense and hard to reverse?

So soon the government will know exactly where you and your car are. 📲🚙 Big brother is watching 👀 Christopher Luxon Christopher Bishop dailytelegraph.co.nz/news/f-off-nat…

this is a surveillance policy and will be used as the first step for identity-based locks on access to content and services *at best*, just like what we're seeing the US 1news.co.nz/2025/08/23/dri…

Genocide in Gaza gotta be pretty far gone if mainstream liberals are openly talking about it atp and acting like the stuff the left was saying a year ago is now completely obvious “they’ve destroyed every hospital” yes that’s why the protests ??? Anyway Tfp is evil
