NZ PSA re Animates:
Don’t buy Playology products that look like this - Indie ate half a lizard tail before I realised what she was doing (she’s fine but monitoring.)
From the online reviews there have been very bad experiences across the range - alarming that Animates is still stocking them.

I haven’t posted on X for a long time but did a bulk tweet delete today - so now officially out of the building and feeling much better for it.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Thank you to those sharing art and music and poetry and cat and doggo pics and athletes nailing it and their lunch and the night sky and birds and sunrise at the beach as well as those sharing information and grief and rage and ways to protest, to fight back - we need both, and they feed each other.

I’ve heard from multiple friends today about daycares being raided and parents being ripped out of cars (in one case with a child left behind in the backseat). Grim times here.
The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

As Chair of the Australian Society of Authors, I stand for writers’ rights to participate freely in public discourse, to be engaged fairly and to work under fair conditions.
The Board’s decision is one that undermines all those rights.

Thinking about what it means that our elected representatives in Aotearoa are so close with those in the US who are complicit in the murder of their own citizens and what that means if our current elected representatives are elected for another term.

Pity the nation whose people are sheep
And whose shepherds mislead them
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
And whose bigots haunt the airwaves
Pity the nation that raises not its voice
Except to praise conquerers
And acclaim the bully as hero

“Are you going to murder someone else?”
… It’s not an idle question: the protesters, civilians and ordinary people, are facing down armed men who have shown themselves capable of bigotry, brazenness, and murder.
A moment later, someone shouts: “You can’t kill us all, Nazis. You can’t kill us all.”

Meetings with Noem, Gosar, Patel, Hegseth. It’s like a Who’s Who of all the Worst People.
She’s also best buddies with Paul Gosar, a white supremacist racist shithead. Might be worth asking if Judith is just more comfortable with that crowd

The Homeland Security Secretary is Kristi Noem, who oversees the entire Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under which ICE operates.
IMO it’s important to query and challenge our elected representatives when they use the word “friend” to describe those enabling the murder of their own citizens.

Quite the encapsulation of how racism, anti-immigrant hatred, sexism & patriarchy & trying to return women to the home, & the neglect of early childhood/ willingness to harm children, are all bound up in one another.
That's why I don't "stick to one topic." These intersect. Fascism relies on all
