There's no food they haven't gentrified, offal, what we used to be cheap cuts of meat, canned corn beef, tins of tuna, these used to be things you could get cheap & make a nice meal with. There is nothing left. Sausages, even polonies are expensive now. Fucked if I know how people feed their kids

@jeffcannata.bsky.social Just heard on the Patreon feed the issues around your book. I live in New Zealand and was so pleased to receive the two copies of your book that I ordered. Then recently I received, completely unexpectedly, two more SIGNED copies! Mind blown & they are fantastic. Well done.

Bishop. What a blithering shambles.
That he expressed those his thoughts out loud in public while on the piss shows his contempt for others expressing and enjoying themselves. Tosser.

It's amazing that southern plantation mansions are popular resort and event destinations. People get married there! It's like having your wedding at Auschwitz!

The reactions of trapped animals are horrifying for sure, but also note the scale of collateral ecological and environmental destruction. This is what the Trump administration wants to allow and encourage in marine protected areas, including the Pacific Islands Heritage National Monument.
I will forever be haunted by this footage.
Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity.
What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives.

So American tourists will travel overseas and buy a lot of products like personal electronics, clothes and toiletries, to excitedly take home because of how comparatively cheap they will now be. Which is exactly what it used to be like when we all travelled to the US in the 1980’s.

Look. What say to you is this.
The homeless are a burden kianga ora can't afford.
Just like the sick are a burden our health system can't afford.
Or hungry children being a burden our school lunch programme can't afford.
We've got $3 billion for landlords though.

So how bad does a global trade war have to bring to bring the domestic cost of NZ butter, cheese, meat and other agricultural products down?

Hey one of the largest disability support providers in the country has COMPLETELY RUN OUT OF MONEY and no one is hearing me SCREAM IT FROM THE HILLTOPS. Please boost this and please send it to your MPs.
Yesterday I was told that even though my kōtiro now qualifies for NASC, we would not be able to access any supports because the funding body has completely run out of cash. I needed to do something productive instead of spiral so I wrote. kahukurascout.substack.com/p/at-least-o...
At least one large disability support provider has completely run out of funding to provide support to autistic people.

If I were an opposition MP I would be absolutely hammering the message that Nicole McKee and the Government are trying to get cops killed. Get it through to the "blue lives matter" right wing voters that the government hates cops.
“Police are identifying "straw buying" so that is where a legitimate firearm owner buys a gun and then sells it to a criminal, someone who isn't licensed, that is now the most popular way criminals are getting firearms,"
So maybe not the time for less gun control 🤷

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

This is a wonderful story from Te Ao with Moana. Not only the waka emerging from the Chatham Island sands – which may be the most import find in Polynesian archeology – but the people around it. Young Nikau is a bit of a star. Find 20 minutes to watch it today. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cnt...
A waka found on the beach could be the most important discovery in New Zealand archaeology.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again
Prediction: the Nаzi salute will become common within 2 years. RWers will half-аss it for plausible deniability, memeify the backlash, then start fully doing it "as a joke" "to troll the libs" "for being hysterical enough to think we were doing it in the first place"
