This is truly disturbing stuff from a faction of our society so amped up & delusional with pure hate they can’t see straight. Much love to @siouxsiew.bsky.social for all your mahi & please know the vast majority are incredibly thankful for your life saving efforts during COVID. ❤️‍🩹 #nzpol #NZpolitics

Their politics stories were the sole reason I was following them. Sorry to hear about you and your colleagues!

I went to high school in Texas! Teach to the test, anyone? I'm glad teachers here in #AoNZ are pushing back!

I wasn't either. :)

Oh thanks! I think I'd seen an ad for that one on FB a while back. it's certainly a contender! Enjoy your conference!

Off hand, do you know what brand/model that is? We've been considering one and that looks cool. (no worries if you have better things to do than run after a robot mower!)

I found Ian's shoelace site more than 10 years ago, and I changed how I tied my shoes then. I remember alerting my friends at the time time, that, yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks. :)

Wellington Girls’ has moved to WFH for at least Monday-Wednesday next week after another measles case was found. The student was at prize giving, so basically the whole school is now affected. As are family members who attended. Contract tracing is going to be a bit of a trick.

I mean, we all knew this was happening before, but it still is! If anything, we should all want to support @siouxsiew.bsky.social even more! C'mon Aotearoa! Head here: www.pledgeme.co.nz/projects/852...

National so far this term:

Getting to your meeting 30 seconds quicker is a higher priority than protecting kids from cars on their way to school

Keeping school attendance up is a higher priority than protecting kids from measles

Saving a few bucks is a higher priority than a decent lunch

Same. Chicken isn't suffering from the export price issue that beef is, since we aren't exporting it so much.

Now we just found the house that my husband's parents were building on a 10 acre block in 1978, still under construction. If there was more resolution and you squinted very hard, maybe they are in the photo! :)

That site is cool! We just found where our house is now, but bare land in 1963. Neat to see the small stream that still flows through it. #whakaoriori

Have they even learned about rational v irrational numbers at this point? The distinction here seems to assume that they have.

curiouskiwi 🇳🇿 @curiouskiwi.com · 4d

That third example with root 2 which is an irrational number.

“irrational” means “not a ratio” ie cannot be expressed as a fraction.
Guess they failed both maths *and* literacy.

No doubt it’s American influence that we didn’t need.

Maybe not in all of Aotearoa, but it was played here in the Wairarapa (within the last 10 years at least). My kid still remembers the pain of being hit in the face with the dodgeball in PE class in college.

Dodgeball ... that 'sport' where all the bullies get free reign to pick on all the rest of us. I grew up in Texas in the 70s. Dodgeball shouldn't *still* be a thing!

🐧We researched one of the world’s rarest #penguins. The yellow‑eyed penguin (aka hoiho/takaraka) isn’t one homogeneous species after all!
