The correct name for ‘Our Mate’ is ‘Proper Marmite’. Sooo much better than the sickly sweet Sanitarium yuck-fest!

Really sad to hear via #SCANZ that @fleurt.bsky.social died last week. She's been such a consistent and lovely presence on the #scicomm scene in Aotearoa. What a loss. We will miss you, Fleur 🖤 lychgate.co.nz/upcoming-fun...

I hate it for the students who will have a less good experience for the poor leadership 😐

That, and if you view university education as a commodity you buy (as is the neoliberal way) then it’s more accurate to say you’ll exclude customers of a certain shop, not employees

God I had no idea how lucky we were to have Steve Maharey in leadership when I started at Massey. Jan Thomas is an academic, and has driven the place into the ground

That sucks ☕️ Do you have a Wise money transfer account? I got a digital Wise card in a few mins on my phone. Way cheaper for overseas transactions

Wellington council building consent fees to install wall insulation in one wall would be about $1400. It’ll cost less to do the work 😵‍💫 I know *why* it’s consentable, but it’s a massive disincentive. Have any councils made it a minor works consent with a streamlined process?

It would be great if citizen journalists could photograph some Destiny Church vandals being arrested for the Church’s Wikipedia article, it needs pics. Hit me up if you need help with the open licensing.

Massey’s statement to staff reads: We have been advised that the QE component of our PBRF allocation will continue to be calculated based on the 2018 results, with all other current conditions unchanged. Institutions’ 2024 indicative funding remains unchanged and total PBRF funding is also unchanged

Win: me/colleagues don’t have portfolio prep stress while our PVC has us rewriting our programmes in a thinly veiled attempt to make it deliverable with fewer staff. Not a win: Gluckman overseeing the review so who knows what will happen. In the short term, PBRF funding will be based on 2018 figs.

Post PhD defence adrenaline surge exhaustion and brain fog setting in! Today I have locked my bike lock to a rack (but not to my bike on the other end), put the plastic lid of my food scraps pot into the compost bin and sent barely comprehensible emails. Roll on long weekend! #HappyButTired

… as NZ shares a head of state with the UK, we might consider this tactic. weren’t it for the high incidence of bacteria in ponds and a forthcoming drive to privatise water supplies.

Under the Education and Training Act 2020 NZ universities are required to act as 'a critic and conscience of society'. A senior government minister publicly announcing plans for retribution against an academic because they don't like the opinions expressed by them is deeply troubling and sinister.

Still blown away by Luxon’s ‘I’m entitled’ position on the housing allowance he claimed (the first prime minister in at least 34 years to take the subsidy), while poor people claiming their entitlements aka benefits are a drain on society? Geez the level of National’s ‘entitlement’ is off the scale

Same! I didn't say it. Screw that. NZ has no reason to defer to the British monarchy. My primary reason for doing it was to get an NZ passport, as my British one is no longer an EU one 😱 And citizen just felt more solid—who knows if/when permanent resident rules might change
