V tired of the line of thinking that writers, musicians, actors, directors, comedians and artists can live on the love of what they do. This is their business. They deserve the same damn recognition and support we provide to their contracted accountants, lawyers and agents.

The thing is, the *government* isn't making our lives inconvenient and difficult. Covid-19 is. And in nearly every other country in the world, government responses have led to absolute tragedy. Untold suffering. Near collapse. We are SO LUCKY to have these leaders.

I saw the protest from the Beehive. We will vaccinate more people today - in just one day- than turned up to that protest. Thanks to all who have been vaccinated.

The Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Two neighbouring houses are projecting the blue and yellow onto its facade. The ambassador is reportedly “apoplectic”.

Bro if you think it’s “politicising history” to teach the full story, what on earth do you think scrubbing and sanitising colonisation, murder and theft for well over a hundred years was?

No matter what you thought of her politics, the sustained personal attacks and hatred levelled at Jacinda was unlike anything I’d seen- from critiques of her motherhood to hysteria and conspiracy theories to threats of violence. It’s not safe to be a woman in public light

Why is the media only now acknowledging the hatred and the vitriol and the hideous misogyniy. Calling it out would have helped. Ignoring it normalised it. rnz.co.nz/news/political…

The Reserve Bank of Australia has made an ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #Budget2023 #auspol

Māori are 20% more likely to get cancer and twice as likely to die from it. Inequities by ethnicity are real, pervasive, and unfair. Doing nothing about that means you're fine with that. Not this doctor.
