@secondzeit Had a wonderful summer traveling from Northland to Dunedin with our caravan and our young kids listening each day. The kids loved "Dead Puppies." We never managed to capture that feeling again and drifted away from it, but I think they were genius in the early years.
The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. This was her bio:
"Renée Macklin is from Colorado Springs, Colorado and is studying Creative Writing at ODU. Her poetry has been published in Metrosphere and Coronado Literary Review, and she currently co-hosts a podcast with her husband, comedian Tim Macklin. When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons."
(People are posting the wrong woman's photo, the red lipstick photo is not her. This is Renee, from her social media accounts.)
@CheckpointRNZ Lisa Owen, do you listen to yourself?
Asking a 23-year-old who has volunteered to come on air and talk to you, "Do you REALLY want a job?"

@VeronicaGlamis I have a teenage son who loves theatre. We were toying with the idea of going to New York next year but it's not a thing. Not a thing at all. Not for the foreseeable future. Nup.
The first MP Speaker Brownlee sends from The House is Willie Jackson…, not Peters, not Jones, and not Seymour who have repeatedly challenged him, but Willie Jackson, a Maori speaking in support of the treaty
@secondzeit Yeah, for a woman who's so fixated on women's spaces and women's freedoms, it's pretty damn sad (and weird) to see her celebrating the reelection of a sexual predator.
@VeronicaGlamis He has said nothing of any depth in this piece. We've known the Trump schtick for some time. His thoughts are kinda like his protege who says even less of any import. Smoke and mirrors.
White people in America should never again talk about criminal behavior, amongst Black people, immigrants, or anyone else when they are literally casting ballots for a convicted felon to be president of the United States.
