Word of the day, should it be needed, is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a love of solitude, an aversion to other people, and the desire to be left alone.

Calling on my Pākeha countrymen and women to speak up and stand up for te reo.
It's so much better when we do this together. Kia kaha te reo Māori. 🫶 #HeTaongaTeReo

Two Deputy Prime Ministers.
This is the most childish, ego-driven, stupid outcome possible. Gonna be an incredibly funky 3 years.

Just got ‘lobbied’ by a #karearea for my Bird of the Century vote; spotted it 2m away from me standing under a totara in our suburban street. Having eyeballed me it took off, flying low up the street with its dinner clutched firmly below. That’ll be hard to beat!

OK, enough. Everything about this is utterly grim. Ava isn’t afraid of criticism or debate - but this is neither of those things. It’s bullying, misogynistic arrogance from people who should know better. This should never have been broadcast.

Aotearoa students deserve access to a school library supported by a specialist librarian with an adequate budget. Make it mandatory.

Highly recommend Harriet Gilbert’s Worldbook Club. This link is to a 2012 interview with Witi Ihimaera about The Whale Rider. Many other recordings about with authors of texts in use in NZ.

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

Is This for Credits? Jack Remiel Cottrell
Micro fiction is a helpful classroom tool & this chat w Jack Remiel Cottrell is fascinating. His collection ‘Ten Acceptable Acts of Arson’ is a favourite of my seniors.
