Is SubStack ok now? I thought they were supporting N@zi's at one stage?

We know what it's like when housing impacts your mental health. When a family of five is crammed into a 2-bedroom house. When there's no space for privacy, for rest, for peace.

My investigative piece today on Nicola Willis's surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry announcement. She has set it up so that the results are released 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION
Please share where you can - between the voter suppression laws, and this, it could be a real killer come Nov 2026. #NZPOL #NZ
Did Nicola Willis just appoint Atlas Network connections to her surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry?
Willis launches a surprise Covid inquiry with results to come out 6 weeks before the election. Most NZ publications noted her hiring of "independent" experts. I looked further into it.

What percentage of your income goes to rent? Is housing a home or just a business expense? Here's something to think about:

Why not spend $2.7b on solar & batteries instead?
Govt to pay up to $180m/year or $2.7b over 15 years to lease LNG re-gasification plant, paid for by $15-$30 'levy' per household per year. That $2.7b would build four Benmore Dams worth of electricity

So because of your generosity I bought myself a little birthday present that I have wanted for quite a while but haven't quite been able to commit to in our current state. I have purchased Milldust and Dreaming Bread by Scott Richardson-Read which explores Scottish Folk Belief and Folk Magic.

Alt text was on maybe 75% of Bsky images when I first joined. Accessibility is still the right thing to do.

You can hit the gear on the left of yr screen, click accessibility, and get Bsky to remind u to use alt text. It's pretty easy ❤️

Absolutely struggling right now. Partner can't find new work after finishing at DoC last year. We've eaten through reserves. It is such a hard time, I'm depressed af and even my optimism is gone. I'm probably going to have to leave my iwi mahi because can't afford not to now. Bills defaulting. Shit.
