So much fun at Pub Choir tonight, absolutely worth the earworm that will stay with my me for a long time. My face hurts from smiling and my throat knows it’s been singing loudly!
Wellington And Christchurch - there are still tickets left for shows this week - it’s a fab night out!

This Parihaka Day, it's even more vitally important we acknowledge the ugliness in our past, as our government twist themselves in knots undoing all progress towards redressing such injustices. They're arrogant, racist and dangerous.

I’m on a 3-day course for work, and was surprised to find it is lecture-style. This guy just spent 40 minutes lecturing us about differing learning styles and how most of us learn through doing or talking/reflecting… without a flicker of realisation or irony. I thought the ed sector had moved on!

In my heathen westie bogan petrolhead family, St Bathurst’s Day is what passes for a religious holiday. In position on the couch for the next 5 hours!

Can anyone recommend a trusted sleepover-in-our-home pet sitter in west Auckland? Our amazing sitter has moved away and I’ve had no luck finding a regular replacement. I’ve tried Pawshake and they’re great but would prefer consistency. 🐈⬛🐈⬛🇳🇿

Even if you don't vote for your council (pls do but), tick that box for the referendum.
It is BINDING for three terms - so if it fails, no Māori ward for nearly a decade.
And EVERYONE votes, not just Māori. Tāngata Tiriti step up, Pākehā mā, you need to vote.

Excellent summary ⬇️
The average debt-to-GDP ratio in OECD countries is 85% - NZ is 47.7%. Interestingly, Singapore is 175% & the lowest debt to GDP country in the world is Afghanistan.
NZ's debt conversation has been hijacked by right wing hawks & at what cost to the country? I'd argue a lot #nzpol

I Hate Labour! But...Wait...Why?
Labour suffered heavy misinformation during and post Covid. They've done well to regain public trust.

I ain't doing your so called "strategic voting". I am voting as progressive as possible so that Te Pāti Māori and Pati Kākariki can drag Labour and have bargaining power.

An observation…I’ve just had most of the last 2 weeks away from work due to illness. I probably stopped being infectious ages ago, but stayed away due to a lingering cough and not wanting to risk sharing germs.
So when I returned yesterday, I was disappointed to experience 3 people clearly sick…

You should do due deligence on candidates for local govt (also school board, liquor trust etc). Not all of them declare their affliations or beliefs in short candidate statements that comes with voting forms. Anyone who not selected by political party may still stand as independent

An earlier post prompted me to livestream Triple J’s broadcast today of the top 100 Aussie songs. The tunes are great, as was the caller just now talking about her outback rodeo drinking games featuring tequila shots and (actual) donkey racing. Stay classy Australia!

Done my #nziff homework, ready for the presale starting tomorrow. It would have been easier with a hard copy programme but the mobile interface is really good this year. Narrowed it to only 20 films in 6 days 😬

I’ve been fortunate enough to get up close to a few kākāpō in my time, and they’ve all had such cool personalities. And it was so cool listening to Sirocco natter away to himself.
