Spent a lot of time telling budding (and actual) writers that I don't like writing (much). I say 'I hate writing; I love having written.'

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

GST, income tax, the actual cost to produce the product, Shopify fees, AfterPay fees if you use AfterPay, packaging costs, advertising costs, etc. It’s a lot.
When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account
Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half
We price for that, so please be understanding!

DO NOT call up the homeless shelter on thanksgiving or Xmas to see if you can pass a few plates and show your kids the “reason for the season”
The homeless shelter is not a petting zoo of human tragedy! The homeless shelter is not a drive thru nativity scene for you to enjoy!

"Portland was so great in the 90s."
No it fucking wasn't. We had six homicides on Burnside between the bridge and the brewery in one fucking calendar week in '96, and the shootout on Pioneer Courthouse Square in Crack '95.
But it was a lot wh*ter, and we all know what the actual desire is here.

40 years later… And the thing is, we already have mountains of data NOW that show what COVID does to brains. Why can’t we acknowledge it? Why can’t we face it? Why can’t we say it?

As I often talk about, there are too many confounding factors to narrow it down to a single explanation, but people will still try. There’s nothing NZ right wingers and talkback social theorists love more than a monocausal thought-terminating explanation for something that makes them uncomfortable.

The “young men crisis” is excuse-making for the very real mental problems stemming from growing up in atomized car-centric suburbia with no community. Childhoods being stolen by dangerous streets, surveillance and adult control, and a pervasive visual/tactile environment of hypercommodified slop.

It bears remembering that this woman, according to the IPCA report, sent at least 36 emails to media outlets, presumaby including NZME, as well as the PM, Police Minister, and police command in Dec 2023 & Jan 2024, and they did fuck-all about it too
