first thing im interested in for the new TOP leader is whether they support a free palestine and can use the term genocide, given that one of TOP's EX leaders routinely promotes pro-Israel propaganda and engages with the worst genocide denialists in NZ to smear anti-genocide activists

She was a perfect example of why other people need to wear masks even if they don’t personally think Covid will hurt them”

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

I don’t often do organised tours when I travel but they to make it easier to see parts of a place I wouldn’t otherwise access. So I just booked 2 trips out of Tokyo so I can see some nature and things.

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑
Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for.
We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

How did we let our politicians turn us into a society that resents public services, support, and kindness?
How did we let them convince us that human decency and empathy are wrong?
We really need to sort ourselves out before we kill ourselves through selfishness.
