ich finde superschwierig, wenn Leute online fragen "Can you be queer in NZ?", weil sie da mal hinreisen wollen. #neuseeland #aotearoa
weil: nach allem, wie man das messen kann und woran man das festmachen kann, würde ich sagen "Ja".
aber ich finde völlig normal (und auch wichtig), wenn marginalisierte Leute, die gefragt werden, ob sie irgendwie sie selbst sein können, stattdessen antworten "Es gibt da keine Sicherheit, es ist schlimm hier, ich hasse mein Land!"

@pistonblown Hence the immortal words of the Famous Sage Arthur Dent:
It must be Thursday, I never could get the hang of Thursdays.
Living in the future at the top of the world here in #Aotearoa, this is obviously the price we must pay, leaving us no choice but to follow Stan Walker's advice

For those failing to recognise the threat the #ACTParty poses to #NZPol democracy, #TeTiritioWaitangi and #Aotearoa #NewZealand sovereignty this brief overview of the #AtlasNetwork spells out precisely what is behind every action and policy the Act Party champion.

Have we reached the point where the #NZPol Act Party should be considered an enemy to the people of #Aotearoa #NewZealand and an existential threat to humanity and the planet?

I'm continuing to catch up on New Zealand TV shows while we've got Neon.
Homebound 3.0 is an awkward name but it was a very fun, funny and weird show which is my favourite kind. I wasn't expecting this much weird from a seemingly boilerplate rom-com premise. And I'm very happy to find out the second season is coming out in just a couple weeks!

"Across Aotearoa, young women and gender-diverse people are doing extraordinary things. They’re leading climate action, championing Māori and Pacific communities, advocating for mental health and hauora, and reimagining what leadership can look like.
It’s these changemakers that Y25 celebrates."

#Aotearoa / #NewZealand - #RepairFestival 2026
"The Aotearoa New Zealand-wide Repair Festival was launched in September 2024, successfully bringing together the many Repair Cafés, businesses, organisations, and Councils that are joining the growing Repair Community. In 2025, we saw an even higher and broader participation, leading to a strong desire for a month-long festival.
The Repair Festival 2026 runs from Saturday, September 5 to Sunday, September 27 (the first Saturday to the last Sunday of the month), as we host continuous repair activities and events all across the motu. We invite everyone to join the Repair Movement: communities, businesses, schools, universities and libraries, advocacy groups, and government.
Watch this space!
More events are on their way, they will be uploaded as they reach us!"

Anyone else suspect this is a subtle way of saying 'no war but the class war'?

‘Crazy, crazy moment’: Clarke Gayford unboxes his two Emmys
Somehow I didn’t realise that Prime Minister won two emmys, that one slipped by me.
I haven’t seen it yet but now I want to. The only place I can find to get it is YouTube rental, which is less than ideal. Any other options? I don’t mind paying but preferably not big tech.

Has anyone else in #Aotearoa #NZ already tried #FediHood?
It looks like there are only two accounts in this contry (my trial one and another).
But I quite like the approach of using geographical proximity for interactions as well as using full end-to-end encryption for messaging. While all based on the #ActivityPub protocol.
It might also be a good platform for local organisations (e.g. sports teams, scouts, communities, neighbourhoods, etc.).
