Yep, SAD is common there because of lack of sunlight in winter, as reported by an #NZtwit who went and lived there for a few years.

One thing I miss about Twitter is being able to ask a question like "Did ANZAC troops on the Western Front in WWI paint kiwi or other symbols on their Brodie helmets?" and actually get relatively regularly expert input.

The Fedi rocks. But it's very fractured 😔

#NZTwit and Aussie mates who like #pirate rock/metal 🏴‍☠️🦜 (or just like to have a night out and a laugh)

Does any #NZtwit remember the name of that guy who used to post a heck of a lot on Twitter and he’s in academia, maybe worked for a CRI, sometimes wears a black hat like Terry Pratchet, uses an olde English pseudonym like Aetheylraed? We were at an eScience conference together maybe around 2009 and maybe another time at a data science retreat with Dr Mik Black and Prof Peter the partner of Helen Clark.

Wow, how many names have I forgotten.

I want to confirm a story he told us.

Please consider:

Time for another #NZTwit #NZPol outcomes poll.

The question is; Which govt Minister shows the most confidence in their pursuit of harmful and backwards policies for the people of Aotearoa New Zealand?

Does anyone have any idea why the data on Poops.NZ is so far out of date?

Suffering #Philosophical whiplash:
#TodayILearned about "Chesterton's Fence" & thought "That's a great term to advocate for fact/context based policy decisions & argue against reactionary politics"

Then, after reading into it further (including #GKChesteron's original quote) I found it's mostly used by #Conservatives to justify inaction & the #statusquo.

Net zero insights. My brain is just spinning its wheels.

Don't you hate it when you're on a #videocall and you're not really paying attention & someone laughs, so you reflexively laugh politely, and then they're like "Rupert knows what I'm talking about" And now the two of you have bonded over shared experiences, and YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT EXPERIENCES!

It's funny when USAmericans say the rest of the world can't have an opinion about their country.

Not funny "haha", more funny "telling someone in the rain they don't know enough about water to complain"

Here's Marley's Hill in the Port Hills of Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, as seen from our house. The photo of it on fire is this morning, the other I took on Saturday.

I've been taking photos of this view every fortnight from our deck, watching how the hill has been recovering from the 2017 Port Hills fire. The clock has just been reset.

See Flickr for the full-res photos if you want to zoom in.

I'm starting to move here from the bird app. So apologies if I miss some etiquette, happy to be told

Do we "like" things here

If you are on Facebook I run this page
Non-committal labour induced memes for depressed disenfranchised post teens
Where I try teach people about l capitalism and anti capitalism, how to spot right wing shit, and talk about how the labour party is right wing and occasionally encourage people to vote green (yes I know greens aren't left enough but they are the best we have within the system, I also post a lot about Anarcho communism, harm reduction includes political harm reduction)

I make no money from this. But it's kinda been my lil project for a while. It doesn't take a lot of effort to repost stuff most of the time vs my usual hobbies which I'm still trying to start up again but my focus is so incredibly bad still after my covid infection in May last year.

If you would like to donate tho I am gathering donations for a move out of emergency housing and into permanent social housing hopefully this march. Link in pinned post. I will also boost it so people can see.
