Anyone in here #nz have Mercury as their broadband provider? Have you ever had random issues with email or websites being unavailable, especially in the last fortnight or so?

Asking for not one, but two friends.

Un mouvement facho essaye de prendre le contrôle de l'équivalent de l'#AFNIC en Nouvelle-Zélande : https://www.feijoadispatch.nz/p/free-speech-union-plans-hostile-takeover

2600 personnes ont pris une adhésion récemment (alors qu'il n'y avait que 400 adhérents récemment), dans l'idée de prendre le contrôle de l'organisation, pour lutter contre un changement de statuts qui indiquerait une volonté de combattre le racisme entre autres…

Check out Aotearoa's five-finger looper moth, Xyridacma alectoraria. It's a big, elegant, yellow moth with a fringe of *hot pink*.

This one came into my home moth light in January, in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and I uploaded it to #iNaturalist today.

My best guess for why it looks like this is that the older leaves of its host plant, five-finger, often turn yellow before they fall. I'm not sure why the hot pink works (but it does).

@teslatakedown #Resist #Tesla #BoycottTesla #NZ

actionnetwork.orgTāmaki Makaurau joins global day of action Tesla Takedown protests against fascismWe are protesting against the fascist coup occurring in the United States of America. Trump's election was funded by billionaire CEO of Tesla, the deplorable Elon Musk. Under Musk, the second Trump administration is gutting government departments and undoing decades of hard-won progress. When Tesla loses money, Musk loses money. So boycott Tesla and join the Tesla Takedown! We encourage people to join our peaceful picket outside the Tesla warehouse in Māngere, South Auckland on Saturday, the International Day of Action #TeslaTakedown, from 10.30am to 11.30am. We are standing in solidarity with the many migrants who are being snatched and imprisoned into detention camps and forcibly removed from the USA under the racism and political prejudice which Musk incites. We are making a show of solidarity for Palestine supporters who are being deported and politically repressed. We are in solidarity with all disabled people with uncertain futures as the Trump regime slashes the availability of government support. We are in solidarity with people who need to access reproductive health but have been stripped of this right, as people in power enforce their religious beliefs on civic society. We are in solidarity with everyone impacted by the anti-DEI (Diversity Equity and Inclusion) purge which includes defunding education, programmes and research, deleting information and firing people who don't fit into the conservative Agenda 2025 plan. We stand in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ Americans facing erasure and criminalisation for being their authentic selves. The creation of the Department of Governmental Efficiency - a pseudo-governmental agency headed by one of the richest men in the world, and staffed by handpicked officials - represents one of the most flagrant examples of wealth influencing politics in decades, and underlines the continuing trend of ostensibly democratic governments shelving the needs of their people, in favour of those of oligarchs and billionaires. We are appalled by the mass firing of Government workers, as well as the cuts to social programmes created to support the marginalised and vulnerable, while companies which Musk holds large shares of ownership, benefit from continued subsidies, tax credits, and government orders. The US Government has become a textbook example of corruption. Both Elon Musk and Tesla are notorious for their harsh stance on unions and worker's organisations. By protesting Tesla, we are not only sending a message that the sort of democratic backsliding that is happening in the USA won't be accepted here in Aotearoa, but also standing in solidarity with Tesla workers and their right to organise. On the world stage, the US government has presented a threat to peace, with President Trump enthusiastically supporting and abetting criminal administrations in Russia and Israel, while repeatedly threatening the sovereignty of neighbouring states such as Canada and Greenland. As advocates for human rights and international law, our Government has no business cooperating militarily with the US administration. Meanwhile in Aotearoa, we have seen glaring similarities to the Trump administration with the firing of public sector employees and broad hiring freezes, with claims that these workers were superfluous to efficiency. These cuts have even targeted vital sectors such as Te Whatu Ora, and the Māori Health Authority. Despite these austerity measures, the National government has prioritised tax cuts for the wealthiest individuals and landlords. The Government has made numerous attacks on Māori through rushed law changes and hotly contended bills; bills which aim to strip references to Te Tiriti o Waitangi from New Zealand’s laws and disadvantage Tāngata Whenua. New Zealand First and ACT, are taking a page out of the MAGA playbook, using attacks on the rights of transgender people and culture war rhetoric to divide and distract the public from the crisis of capitalism and its outcome, climate change. Trump's regime is not a tenable ally for Aotearoa New Zealand. We demand the NZ Government stands up to the global menace, Trump, and withdraws the New Zealand Defense Force from cooperation agreements and exercises with the US Military. Tesla Takedown is a peaceful protest movement. We oppose violence, vandalism and destruction of property. This protest is a lawful exercise of our First Amendment right to peaceful assembly. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla

Somewhere in the Middle-Earth, I mean New Zealand. The peach colour and how it barely touches the peak is my favourite thing about this photo.

distant mountain peaks during the sunset. The sunset is peach colour with streaks along the sky. The peaks are layered and one in the middle has some snow barely touched by the peach colour.

Is your day really complete without seeing some velvet worm feet?

I found this excellent wee critter on the coast-to-coast field trip over the weekend for my Biological Diversity course at #LincolnUniversityNZ.

Its name is Ooperipatellus viridimaculatus.

A close-up photo of a velvet worm foot. It's pudgy and covered in purple and orange bumps and the end of the foot has two small claws.

A photo of the whole velvet worm, on moss. I photographed this on the floor of a native NZ forest near Moana. It looks like half-way between a worm and a caterpillar. It's covered in purple and orange bumps and it has lots of chubby legs.

So in July last year, #NZ had a minor tax reduction.

It turns out that those relying on government support were not so lucky. Instead of passing these tiny amounts on to anyone on income assistance, the government reduced the entitlement by the amount of the tax cut, meaning these people did not receive one cent more a year, they just “earned” less

Colour me cynical, but that is unfair.
