Tēnā koutou katoa,
Now that Bluesky has video, thought I'd do quick introduction in New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) for fellow Deaf folk.
My name is Jasmin, I'm Deaf, live here in Aotearoa NZ.
I grew up mainstreamed, oral, NZSL is my second language.

Apart from everything else that’s wrong with the govt’s continued degradation of the original school lunch programme & its range of objectives, note that David “Attendance is paramount” Seymour has now done away with the objective of ‘providing healthy lunches to promote school attendance’.

This shit just reminds me of how surface level some journalists understanding is of local govt is - so you get these weirdo takes that don't really make the points they think they are.
And no, despite being mentioned in the article, I was not approached for comment.

You may think 5 dollars is nothing, but for my son fighting for his life, it can mean everything. When many people give a small amount, it becomes treatment, medicine, and hope. What feels small to you could be the reason he survives.

Writers, scholars & other speakers: learn to say no more often. Expand your boycotts & solidarity. If its an all-white panel discussing impact of colonisation on First Peoples, stolen land, or their sovereignty, say: "no, not unless there's First Peoples on the panel". Nothing about us, without us.

This is an outstanding resource and very clear rundown on a) why Substack is bad because people apparently still need to be spoonfed in 2026 and b) the MYRIAD options to use instead
That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

Especially stop tagging powerful figures - cops, politicians, media - to posts on zionism and the Israel lobby. You actively endanger us🖐🏼

Anti-trans hate is an industry. Not a movement, not a moral concern, not an organic uprising of worried parents — an industry, deliberately constructed, lavishly funded, & strategically deployed to protect the interests of the powerful men who finance it
