I hate that Winston Peters has made me agree with him. I hate that some parties will disagree with him on principle.

Occasional moments like this remind me of the days on Twitter when things didn't seem quite as bleak, and people could make harmless jokes, commiserate and celebrate, and just commune. I miss the communing part of community.

Can think of few others as deserving as Siouxsie - who helped protect so many lives, & was NZ'er of the Year in 2021 - of our support now. She won legal case on truly awful online harassment/hate but remains 400k+ out of pocket. Absurd. Time to help her move forward www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7PB...

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it.
it kept him out of jail.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*
I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason
I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself
I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

I missed Brown Sugar being the seminal album it was for so many, but Black Messiah hit me harder than just about any other album of that period. D'Angelo was a singular, important voice. Much love to his people ❤️ R.I.P.

As ever, Anne Salmond is on point
"When Act mounted its despicable Victim of the Day campaign, delivered by Act’s parliamentary staffers at the taxpayers’ expense and attacking individual scholars as ‘deranged,’ that was another attack on institutional autonomy and academic freedom."

Anne Salmond: Academic freedom and its enemies
In NZ there are chilling moves towards illiberal democracy. While they are being strongly resisted so far, political leaders and others must wake up.

In a meeting to advocate for my grad program, and I was asked to wrap up my "emotional" argument. No thank you. Would you say that to a man? I got an apology, but still.
Luckily this was striking because people don't normally say this shit - & other people spoke up to thank me for my advocacy.

I appeared on University Challenge years ago. I didn't actually attend the university in question. I used to take short cuts through the campus and saw the notice for the try outs. Went along for a laugh and made the team. No one ever checked if I was actually a student there.
