Amazing how you can go without some music for maybe years, and then know it so intimately, every beat and note when your listen to it again 🌞

On the one hand, lol stop making shit bills and you won’t have to deal with the loud collective disagreement
But on the more cynical hand, they better not use this as an excuse to further erode the foundations of democracy

I do miss the glorious mountains Wellington has surrounding its harbour, jaggedly steep & strong … but Auckland on contrast has Big Sky, nearly completely from horizon to horizon, allowing you to see sweeping vistas of some truly epic storm clouds, stretching as a true panorama wrapping around you.

Yes I did release it. I’ve been open about this and the Herald reported it.
To be clear: I decided to speak publicly and take a stand against unethical and dirty politics because our city deserves elected members who uphold the highest standards of respect, honesty, and integrity. End of. #nzpol

If you’re not world famous or someone who can get him a knighthood he just does not give a flying shit who you are. That includes mayors and councillors. He just does not give a fuck

If it’s anything, a lot of schools have dialled back on compulsory participation. Walks are encouraged and those kids who can’t are given tasks alongside teachers. Any school not doing that deserves to have a thorough ERO investigation and a kick in the pants
