Haven’t finished the book about Lacks yet but it’s really good. Wake blew my mind and broke my heart. Utterly brilliant non fiction via graphic novel.

And apparently I'm not done, I'm enraged that we are back here again. Look at this, from the policy. These are their focus areas. All of this will fall on mothers the hardest. All of it. I tell you what does make the biggest difference in the first 2000 days? Decent incomes.

It is unbelievably ghoulish for WP and NZF to celebrate the restriction of puberty blockers in NZ during Trans Awareness week (and at any time). It is *already* hard to get access. All this will do is increase rates of self harm and su1cide.

Having a pretty good day :) it's not every day where you get to say publicly that you've secured an inaugural Mana Tūāpapa Future Leader Fellowship from Te Apārangi - The Royal Society worth $820k. royalsociety.org.nz/news/202…

Don’t let them tell you we need to be individually resilient. That’s neoliberal code for putting up with oppression. What we need and have always needed is collective resistance. We should never need to be resilient to oppression. That’s systemic gaslighting.

Imagine if you will, for just one minute, if Jacinda had used the word “fricking” in a stand up. Just imagine.

Does lavender have to be blue to be manly? ** if you’re coming here to make a point that misses mine then the question is rhetorical for you and doesn’t need an answer, bye.

Not a big fan of the term “high functioning” (think about the opposite, always think of the opposite with binaried terms), but this internal external thing, yeah it’s me. Well, until i accidentally discovered that my nerve blocker (for the head) is also an anti anxiety med!
