I am so, so, so tired.
Tired of the endless barrage of stupidity coming from the #US White House
Tired of the idiocracy coming from the New Zealand Beehive
Tired of people like #Trump, #Musk, #Tamaki, etc.
Tired of being made to feel like I'm not worth anything because I am different (#Autistic)
Tired of seeing an actual dictator get his ass kissed by what the world thought was an "at least half decent" country.
Tired of seeing politicians here in #Aotearoa give in to the most petty and reckless lawmaking, purely out of spite.
Tired of people yelling bloody murder over a fucking 75cm wide #bikelane that harms nobody (The road is still wide enough for 2 cars AND a cyclist)
Tired of narrow minded #bigots treating people differently because they're not white|cis|male|western, whatever the fucking fuck their current issue is they invented to be upset about.
Tired of hearing how a few (5? maybe 6?) people are cheerfully threatening the safety of the whole world

I'm tired. Tired of people yelling. Tired of people screaming. Tired of all the shit.

Please excuse me while I go scream in to the #void, stare in to the #abyss and just... I don't know. Cry, or something. I can't take it anymore.

#Aotearoa #NewZealand changed its electoral system from FPTP to MMP by referendum in 1993. This means regardless of what electorate you live your "Party Vote" will help decide the govt. You get 2 votes a "Party Vote" and an "Electorate Vote" your electorate vote simply decides your electoral representation in parliament but your "Party Vote" will decide the proportional make up of parliament and ultimately decide govt which is usually a majority coalition.

"Only seven countries met the World Health Organization’s guidelines for tiny toxic particles known as PM2.5 last year, ....

Australia, New Zealand and Estonia were among the handful of countries with a yearly average of no more than 5µg of PM2.5 per cubic metre, along with Iceland and some small island states."

#Aotearoa has plenty wrong with it, but I do love living in a place where breathing isn't deadly.

Woke up here again today, a deep tissue off-grid massage. Heard a brown Kiwi (endangered incredible flightless bird species) call out in the night. A big sound, reverberating in the mountain valley. Morning, I met a Ruru (named 'Morepork' by European settlers) shortly after dawn. We chatted for a good 5 mins.

Big bushpigs (invasive, often dangerous introduced species) were munching on rainforest roots near the tent, fighting each other nearby. Had to scare them off to get some sleep. #aotearoa

As I watch the decline of democracy, morality and governance of the people in USA under Trump and oligarchy rule I am seeing the same decline happening in #Aotearoa #NewZealand under the failed leadership of #Luxon controlled by #AtlasNetwork and other colonial powers.
The time has come for NZers to choose a new #NZPol direction, end this embrace of austerity and oligarchic rule remembering this Māori proverb. Māku e kii atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.
