It's so cool how this government is doing so many Trumpian things- voter suppression, climate denial, interfering in education against expert advice, destroying healthcare, rolling back environmental protections- but we're still largely treating them as normal and being like 'But how's the economy?'

The tiny hobbit can say “big mess” so now we are working on the word “capitalism”. They talk about sleep deprivation, school drop offs, endless snack supply running but they don’t talk about how hilarious it is when a 2 year old says: captilim is beeee mess

Looks like the 2nd amendment argument about its necessity for citizens to protect themselves from the perceived tyranny of the federal government is undergoing a stress test.

If Labour came out today with a bold strategy to radically increase jobs and denounced the puberty blocker ban, you know, give people some fucking hope, they would do even better at the polls. Ugh

My husband losing his job and people willingly or unwillingly leaving my work are the direct consequence of what the NZ government has chosen to do.
And Willis is threatening MORE budget cuts for next year. Will anyone be able to live here next year? Will anyone have a job?

If any other political party pulled what Nats have on Kiwisaver this week and the comments on the regulatory standards bill, they would have been raked over the coals given their history. No one would have made it out alive from the news cycle.

So sick of successive govts making policy decisions to get a rise out of people instead of solving societal problems. Yeah I know people hate poor people and we are a democracy but where is the leadership? Where’s the integrity? Where is doing the right thing? Nowhere to be found.

I was thinking about getting the tiny hobbit a doll cause he likes playing with my hair and is doing role play voices and I thought since he doesn’t have a sibling we could use it to teach him taking care of people. First of all why aren’t there any good boy dolls. Secondly why are dolls so creepy.
