Tania Roxburgh's review of my new YA book 'Migration' made it sound super brainy and intentional, but really I just liked imagining my descendants with laser guns, pew pew 🔫

Ah haha oh god, VUW English Department is closing its Facebook page because Meta AI is automatically responding to comments there like it is the actual English Department. I don't actually know how this is not illegal.

In great news: heroic scenes at Auckland Council, with a near-unanimous pushback against this indefensible government overreach on local streets. 🙌 Including a strengthened response on safe speeds around schools (carried by a casting vote!). Very very grateful for the integrity on display today. 🙏🥰

I’ll just leave this here again. #nzpol New ferries

“The two new ferries would have meant double the passenger and vehicle capacity and triple rail capacity, while reducing the carbon footprint by about 40 percent.”

Now crowdsourcing my reo Māori Matariki party playlist. Already have the anagram powerhouses of Poi e and E ipo plus a few others. What else do I need? (Not sure it’s a Alien Weaponry vibe I’m going for but I might chuck one track in as an amuse bouche)

I really want a daily news journalist, like an AM Show presenter, to ask every Nat MP how it feels to have the ENTIRE COUNTRY taking the piss out of you over the ferries?

Don't panic! Willus and Brown are speeding to the scene in a 1980 Corolla, white if course, and what's that blasting out the cassette deck? Why, it's old mate Chris De Burgh!

Encourage all kiwis to take this survey ... we need to show that not all of us want the detached single family house out in the car-dependent suburbs.

Huh, so the initial 20,000-strong, front-page-news, jubilant, peaceful and multifarious #MarchforNature in Tāmaki Makaurau wasn’t *quite* big enough or loud enough or everywhere enough for this government to really hear it?

Noted.🫡💚

This morning in central Tāmaki Makaurau. I first saw this kōtuku ngutupapa feeding here two weeks ago. When I told some friends, they teased me for not getting down in the mud to get the shot. So today I did! Very smelly mud though. I’d advise against getting in my car in the next couple of weeks… 🪶
