Panic! In Pōneke

Here to fuck spiders.
When I was in Auckland recently my dad and I walked around his old High School where the same 'temporary' prefabs were there that were set up when he was there over 50 years ago.
Coalition of chaos announces half baked health initiative to install prefab wards like they're temporary (read stay for years) classrooms at schools. Just desperately spending money to look like they're doing stuff. Who will staff these new wards, Minister?

What I'd just say to you is, a big thanks to the media who reported on our new housing policy for rough sleepers & didn't mention it's not additional funding, just money nicked from other housing needs.

Spending free time reading Regulatory Impact Statements to see officials calling govt ideas straight up stupid.
The best were
- charter schools
- benefit sanctions

I'm not the person to comment on NCEA.

But anectodaly - I'm too neurodivergent to be good at exams. I went a year ahead in 1-2 subjects so had passed 7th form with merit by June. Most of my classes were internally assessed. I didn't even attend my only 7th form exam lol.

"Separate the art from the artist" comes up a lot.

My opinion is that, like so many things, it is on a spectrum.

A long-dead entertainer with a brilliant body of work who, we later discovered, kicked puppies is NOT the same as a living, active entertainer who uses revenue to buy puppies to kick.

Disability is one of the few minority groups you can join at any time.

People believe they will be the exception & have trouble accepting they’re likely to become disabled at some point in their lives.

Work on internalized ableism. Engage in disability justice. It will benefit you in the long run

When I worked in the Women's Clinic at the hospital sometimes I would refer to it as 'obstetrics and gynecology' because we had a heap of patients who weren't women.

Not unlike sexual wellbeing Aotearoa (fka family planning), which has cis male patients, not being called sluts and mums nz

Why is it so funny to me that every act video on yt has clickbait titles that sound like a prank channel for tween boys.
Oh did you SMASH it?
You're putting down FACTS?

A lot of things make you feel gaslit by the world but my biggest gripe has always been the debate around living wage. I know I'm a broken record but the fact that it's ever a debate and isn't the same as minimum wage is and will always be ludicrous to me

How can he once again fail to come across as a human being when the opportunity is handed to him on a platter.

Like why can't he be normal ever.
So many self-aggrandising lies and exaggerations in this wee interview. According to Luxon:
he only sleeps a few hours a night;
he works 20 hours a day;
he read his school library dry;
he's researched 3000 years of his ancestry.

He doesn't need much sleep, watches television in 20 minute chunks and goes to the movies with his bodyguards. The PM talks to RNZ about his cultural highlights.
