I don't use this site anymore (find me on Mastodon) but came back to say one thing to the masochistic hangers-on of this platform as voting opens tomorrow: Party Vote Green. Also come on @NZGreens and MPs/candidates - stop supporting this hellhole so exclusively?

Apropos the dumpster fire; with great sadness I've started looking around over here: https://t.co/z2jmQDdovh

We're hiring an infrastructure ranger, to help us maintain our huts and equipment:

Feels a bit hard to process the Emissions Reduction Plan. The Greens are responsible for the plan existing as a statutory document, which is good, but Labour’s majority government Cabinet Ministers are responsible for the commitments in the plan, which seem mostly inadequate. 1/

If you-know-who fails to buy Twitter, I might start tweeting again.

@SophieFern @SkinkySam I was berated in the hut this morning for not videoing it, sorry! Was just stoked to take a picture of a chick and it's sibling both hatching naturally in a nest, with an angry Pearl rapidly approaching.

On what planet do you blame exploitative systems on the people being exploited?

It’s like blaming renters for the housing crisis.

Want to be part of helping grow the #kakapo population? We’re anticipating breeding next year (first time since 2019), so are recruiting three field rangers in island-based roles on 1 year contracts. See https://t.co/tTai9OpLJM #conservation #jobs

@SophieFern @AbbyOtago @hamishgspencer @SkinkySam As they say, an hour and a half of misery on the boat, or 15 minutes of terror on the plane. Take your pick! 😉

I take the terror every time...

Thanks Sophie! She's a tricky one to get photos of as she's always 6m up a mānuka!
