What privacy? When social media platforms are allowed to build giant data profiles on consumers without their properly informed consent (miss me with your wall-of-legalese TOU, ty) this happens: substack.com/@sugarrhi/no...

Any Ōtepoti @greens.org.nz voters at the event at the museum tonight? Say hi! #nzpol

Insomnia sucks. At least the moon is pretty and at 14 degrees it's positively balmy on my Ōtepoti porch. Bring on the dawn chorus.

Far too close to the shitty status quo, which is on-brand for Labour these days. Imagine if people were able to get a university degree for the price Winston Peters paid: Nada, zip, zilch, nothing. That'd be a policy worth party-voting for. Oh, right, that's the @greens.org.nz policy. #nzpol

This is what happens when profit-driven corporations axe people of color to please the racists in charge. We need diverse perspectives on teams so shit like this doesn't make it to market. Especially when actual lynchings are on the rise. For shame. TL;DR - Woke is good, actually.

They could start by watching An Inconvenient Truth or The Age of Stupid. The rest of us watched them 20 years ago, know exactly what's about to happen and are exhausted from screaming about it. Thanks for nothing, finance bros. 🫡

This juxtaposition. 🤦‍♀️ Spare a thought for dual citizens of countries where both have horrific rw governments and are heading into general elections just a few days apart. We really get double the feed fun, don't we @kiwistevemc.bsky.social ?

Kiwi friends: I went to pre-order this the other day but for the life of me I couldn't figure out the best place to do that in Aotearoa. Any advice?

BRB... going to buy some Macklemore albums because fuck this shit. I think I only know Thrift Shop but I guess I'm going to know more now.

That's in America, my #nzpol friends... Now imagine how much of a non-issue it is here.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Mamdani for World Mayor. Labour could learn so much watching him consistently cut through bullshit & deliver the things that matter. Instead, it's more pandering to the wealthy, hoping that maybe this time it'll start trickling down 🙄 Insanity. #nzpol

I've been hearing "tāiki ē" in karakia. Today, I finally looked it up. Pretty sure this means it's "LFG!" In Te Reo. maoridictionary.co.nz/word/13579 (I missed the resurgence of Māori language and culture while living overseas. Trying to catch up now so feel free to correct me when I screw up.)

One of the *many* reasons we shouldn't be locking social media access behind identity verification, for anyone, regardless of age. Corporations cannot be trusted to protect our privacy. cc @miriamruthross.bsky.social @greens.org.nz #nzpol

@jamellebouie.net's secret sauce is... The. Fucking. Truth. We would be in a much better place if more people, especially journalists and billionaires, would utilize his Super Simple Secret Sauce.

I'm ordering the reprint 💚

Reminder: the US used trade agreements to force *many* countries to mirror shitty anti-consumer legislation (like DMCA) under threat of tariffs, and then did tariffs anyway. Every trade partner should tear up those agreements - and those regulations - and rewrite the rules of global trade. #nzpol

The stories of Preston and Natalie Harp are about the strongest case against unregulated Christian #homeschooling that I can imagine. One supports a (rhetorically) socialist dictator and the other, a fascist pedophile. Their mother evidently primed them to be brainwashed.

Stein is a blight. Meanwhile in NZ and the UK we have real Green Parties, who are actually in government and pump out phenomenal policy on the daily. *Our* Green parties are led by three incredible, locally-focused leaders, rather than Putin's puppet, cosplaying a politician in a two-party system.

I first thought Gates was vaguely bad, then understood him to be a philandering shithead, but TIL he's actually a murderer. All billionaires exploit. We need to eradicate them. (By which I mean tax them into non-existence, not something more nefarious.)

@greens.org.nz can we please make this the standard, instead of metrics that bury the truth behind the success of the ultra-wealthy?

Evidence. Based. Policy. It's the only way.

Spectacular reading for TERFs, not that they'll bother until it's too late. Stop listening to that evil wizard woman and heed Martin Niemöller's warning already. Trans women are women and bigots should go extinct.

Read this and reflect... NZ's tax code is even better for billionaires and worse for normal people than the US tax code. Only 🟢 @greens.org.nz is offering a better deal for Kiwis this coming election. Choose wisely. #VoteGreen #nzpol

Every single representative who voted for this law (and all others like it) should be charged with the murder of every constituent who is pushed to suicide as a result. Especially the children.

Ōtepoti friends: The Green Party campaign launch event with Davidson and Swarbrick is on Sunday at the Student union. Doors open at 5pm. RSVP here and come say hi! www.greens.org.nz/dun_260719 #nzpol

Cool. Now release the Epstein files (not just the documents) with ONLY the victims redacted.

Feeling this one in the depths of my big tech escapee soul. "A subset of humanity is committed to a world where everyone else takes orders from them. We have different names for these people. We call the majority of them “toddlers,” but we call the others “bosses” or “tyrants.”"

Aotearoa: we have ONE DAY LEFT to make submissions on this and four other bills. If anyone’s stuck for inspo on either the Conservation or Gender Definition bills HMU and I’ll share my PDFs. You might want to tone down my anger a bit though. Or maybe not. #nzpol

I cut this way too close, whanau, but finally completed my submission on NZ First’s horrific and hateful anti-trans bill. You have 4 days remaining to add your voice. #KillTheBill

This is incredibly well stated. Send it to all your friends! #nzpol #votegreennz

I've put like 60 hours on this game in early access. Best survival builder I've ever played. Minecraft + The Sims (house building) + BoTW/ToTK, but darker. Crushes Valheim, better than Palworld. Check out some community builds on YT. If Minecraft holds nostalgia; this is your graduation game.

Tena koe, whanau. I made a list of all the @greens.org.nz peeps I could find on Bluesky for easy following/checking in. bsky.app/profile/did:... - LMK if I missed anyone!
