I am presenting a workshop on Tuesday. I love this kind of stuff and going down rabbit holes. Today I learned about Rawiri Hindle (and read a couple of articles he's written). Why have I never read him before! Also Harold Bloom is da bomb

#nzpol Just think of how many healthy school lunches could have been bought with the money wasted on processing ACT's terrible bills. And/or hip operations, or senior doctor's pay rises, or disability designed houses, or... te reo classes for Chris Luxon. 🧐

Unpopular reckon, I guess but if I were Labour, I'd be all about Labour. The potential coalition can happen once the dust settles. Each party (on the Left) should go all out to get as many votes for themselves (but do it in a way that holds mana). Maybe I'm naive to think this might be the way

I left the Ministry of education because it wrecked my mental health being instructed to do things that were morally wrong. How are these people sleeping? Do the managers in our govt organizations get their souls removed?

Justice Committee recommends passing Electoral Amendment Bill with some amendments
The bill would prevent same-day enrolments, ban prisoners from voting, and tighten up the rules around treating.

I've accidently paid Southern Cross 80 a month since Jan 2024. It was cover for Vet Girl & payment started up again after a pause. They notified her not me even tho I paid cos it was her policy. She didn't understand the notifications so ignored. I contacted SC yesterday to enquire about the 80

Stanford just said that principals are ringing her to complain they're getting bullied to 'publicly declare' their school's support for the treaty of Waitangi. Really? Really? Which principals? Which schools. Principals, she said, told her they are getting harangued by the community.

Second quote, this time from my final post on textual analysis:
"Authorial intent, slippery as it is, is only part of the equation. Readers will always, for better or worse, bring their own interpretations to a text, which is how we ended up with... conflicting readings."
