Council: Here, look at all of these cool events that already happened, and now that it's too late to attend, did you know they happened? Me: I would have liked to go to that. 😔 Council isn't great at advertising their events.

Could be well worth considering what you've got listed under companies/incorporated societies/charities registers (as committee or board officer or postal addresses for organisations) At very least it's worth feedback to any of these institutions

When will we see action from this government on far right groups using threats to force community events to close? Will it only be when one of them takes the call of "time to kill" literally? thespinoff.co.nz/society/02-0...

A year hence, it's worse. I studied by order of magnitude more content in ~10hrs than DIA's 2023 DVE report flags around the ChCh livestream video. The point is a simple one. NZ's apex agency studying online harms, & by extension, NZ's govt, seemingly clueless how bad diffusion of video really is.

What I study is a worsening context, at pace, but seemingly without any meaningful official response. And this is why Māori, Muslim led, gendered, high-touch, community-led, evidence-based, endogenous initiatives, offline, & online, vital to address the real harms resulting from this material.

Just want to re-up some fundraisers including our own.

Wellington Pride is being sued by some trans-exclusionary Lesbians.
This case is very important because the anti-trans group is hoping for a legal precedent.

People stop rationalising your suffering and accept that it's ok for things to be shit and to be upset about it. 'But I am better off than someone in worse circumstances' is a way of gaslighting yourself into believing you are not allowed to be upset unless at rock bottom. It's unhealthy.

This seriously needs clarifying National are continuing with minimum wage exemption permits, just like previous govts Labour had *proposed* a wage subsidy scheme as a way to address the issue of folk being paid less than minimum wage. They never implemented it. Nothing being cut except a proposal

that's 😳 at Luxon or any government representative here eyeing up policies from UK. Already too much influence from there There's a reason disabled folk here have set up a chapter of Disabled People Against Cuts (the original UK group have been hugely supportive)

I need you, if you can, to get vaccinated: Covid vaccines are produced by commercial manufacturers; if there's no demand, they simply won't produce supply. They're distributed by commercial pharmacies; if there's no demand, pharmacies won't go through the trouble of stocking & distributing.

What I will say is that we won the guidance from CDC that allows people to self-certify their status as someone who needs two (or more!) boosters per year. Self-certify, doesn’t require any additional proof, doesn’t require an Rx. That was a long, hard fight.

The Cass Report doesn't exist because of concerns about trans healthcare provision, it exists because there were gender critical politicians at Health and Equalities in the UK Govt. That's direct from the Minister for Equalities herself.

We’re not being prioritised. The patch shortage impacts us equally and pharmacies aren’t hiding stock from cis women in order to give it to trans women. Such talk is dangerous; and it’s being repeated by bigots to further animosity towards us.
