Yea, I promise you for the average person having the capacity in their lives to calmly go through a DBT workbook or something will be more effective than seeing a therapist for a set number of sessions when their lives are a chaotic, stressful, traumatic mess due to their conditions.
as someone who needs mental healthcare, i kinda hate it when public figures come out with statements about how we need to invest in mh care. it's an uphill battle to get better if your core needs aren't being met. effective mh care looks like stable housing, sufficient food, and climate action

i am in therapy right now, telling me therapist that i can't afford to live anywhere and i am slowly rotting away trying to find a place.

all my health problems are getting worse and CANNOT get better until i am housed and fed.
yes people need therapy. but as someone who's been in and out of therapy for ~15 years, i made a whole lot more progress once i had a full stomach, stable housing, and better healthcare for my non-mental health issues.

i love the sports drink ad that claims "water got us this far; but it wasn't made for this" while showing someone crossing a river by jumping from rock to rock—something i can easily picture being done by a prehistoric human

I just want everyone who would be interested in regularly cycling to work or whatever to be able to do it free of violent threats and intimidation.

And to be able to travel in streetscapes that are multi-modal with nice public spaces that aren't hostile, austere and flood-prone.

Idaho stop is exactly this. It's safety first.
btw if anyone wants to know why cyclists break the road rules (actual rules—not ones you made up in your head like "you must ride in the gutter" and "you must ride single-file")—it's to get out of the way of deranged and distracted motorists as quickly as possible

There's actual peer reviewed research that indicates the rage comes from aspects of wanting to punish people for not participating in the "normal" of fossil fuel culture. It's not just a few idiots, it's a systemic issue being exacerbated and amplified to serve political and corporate agendas.

The anti-cycleways talking points and spittle-flecked Facebook rants are putting cyclists at risk from aggressive car drivers. They get so angry and feel entitled to take revenge, cutting bike riders off at roundabouts, parking in bike lanes, close passing, yelling "get off the road". It's bullying.

we actually already have a mega-ministry responsible for all aspects of governance—it's called the government
New: The government has introduced legislation to abolish the Ministry for the Environment as part of its plans to build a new super-agency tasked with urban development, planning, infrastructure and transport.

Given the use of GenAI among political parties and all that entails, your periodic reminder that we have an Open Letter signed by over 20 AI experts calling on AI regulation. So far only the Green Party has committed to this. Please share among your networks and sign if you haven't already #nzpol
We’ve published an Open Letter calling on NZ leaders to deliver risk-based AI regulation & a national oversight body. AI has huge potential, but harms (deepfakes, gendered abuse, bias) are real and rising. Read the Letter (and sign it if you agree!) #nzpol

As per usual, a loud and feral minority hijacking the conversation with misinformation.

Also seeing a disturbing & very familiar pattern of hostility toward Tamatha Paul. Our community must stand behind her. We can’t allow another Māori leader to be worn down and pushed out. #nzpol

do it ourselves, have employment, build capability, keep the money in new zealand over importing skills and workers and then letting them go

build a hospital, than another, then another...because thats what was done in the 60's & 70's and why everything is aging out at the same time

worsening spring storms, the delayed start to summer... those were one thing. but getting a freezing cold storm in february? takes climate change from a depressing reality to a perpetual gnawing dread. no more can i get through winter and spring with the assurance that i'll feel better come summer

In particular, we need to incorporate water into urban design and architecture at every level. We need to think in fractal terms, from small scale fixes and smarter integration of landscape to water clearance at roof and street level, to large scale daylighting streams, wetlands and flood ponds.

Fun fact: when I run DEI workshops about trans stuff (it happens occasionally) one of my strategies is to start by getting people to talk about cyclists and their experiences. This usually works to build empathy, but occasionally it turns out that people actually hate cyclists more than trans people
you'd think the worst thing about cycling would be all the people trying to kill you, but it's actually all the insufferable men who insist on telling you that if you don't ride the way they think you should ride then you're no better than a car driver who hits pedestrians
