@SpeakUp4WomenNZ Oh come on, there were less than 30 attendants and you were peacefully protested by around 250 people. Guess you can't even be honest about that!

Anyone near the coast who felt a LONG or STRONG quake should MOVE IMMEDIATELY to the nearest high ground, or as far inland as you can #EQNZ

Confirmed: Biden has signed executive order implementing SCOTUS decision in Bostock v. Clayton County against anti-LGBTQ discrimination in all federal agencies.

I am deeply concerned for the US. What is going to happen to the "Space Force" now?? It was supposed to be the biggest and best. Yuge, even.

BREAKING: President Biden has signed an order implementing the Supreme Court’s ruling on LGBTQ workplace nondiscrimination.

We are grateful to Aimee Stephens, Don Zarda, Gerald Bostock and countless others who fought for this victory.

The reply was basically - "Not a hoax, LOL".

[Athena Macmillan @AthenaMacmillan]

I literally emailed the Law Dept to make sure this wasn't a hoax:

"Congratulations.... for an outstanding performance in your Law papers. Your mark of XX was the top mark for LAWS528 Law and Emerging Technology, making you the top performing student in 2020 for this paper."
