Imagine giving an impassioned speech on how important it is to be able to pay people less
Yes Nicola, the minimum wage is the floor, the absolute floor, the bottom rung, the complete and utter least. Then you wonder why folks aren't productive #NZPol

QEII National Trust's work is critical for conservation in Aotearoa. It is a failure of successive governments that their funding hasn't been increased to meet demand.

The very best thing about wrapping presents with material & ribbon (apart from sustainability) is that when you've unwrapped, there's no rubbish to sort through. You just fold it all up & store in a bag for next year! Sorted! #ecoChristmas

Your posts brighten my morning. Love them.
🧵Spotted at a Christmas fair in rural Aotearoa New Zealand:
A woman (40s?) leans against a tree while talking to a man (70s?). She says: "I worked in Emergency Rooms for 20 years before I moved here for the slower pace."
He nods: "Right decision?"
She smiles. "Yeah. Right decision." (1)

I remember seeing the memorial when I lived in Bristol as a student. Really cool to read the story again many years and miles later.
This is such a sweet story ❤️❤️❤️
This is a vintage postcard from my collection that I bought because I loved the image so much and the man looked so kind. It was only later that I was able to find out the story behind it: www.purr-n-fur.org.uk/featuring/ch...

The Government just halved pure science investment so it can help pay for tax cuts for landlords and try to lower mortgage rates in an economy which has become a housing market with bits tacked on. 1/2
A housing market with bits tacked on doesn’t need many (if any) pure scientists
Government shocks scientists and universities by halving funding for blue-sky research, raising fears it will worsen the brain drain to rest of OECD, which spends double on R&D that spent by NZ

1. Science is more than just commercialisable widgetry
2. Making progress on our biggest problems (climate change, infectious diseases, misinfo to name a few) will need more collaboration between STEM and hum/social sci not less.
