things have obviously popped off this week geopolitically so i’ve been pretty busy trying to bail some people out of very bad decision-making. this has gone mixed to say the least; anyways a lot of people gotta shut the fuck up about geopolitics because there have been 80 unnecessary trillion bad takes this week
General election day in Aotearoa. High chance of a right wing government that has made cutting my disability funding into one of its election promises.
With everything that's happening in the world it feels stupid to even be upset about it, but I am.
Edit: and the result is in, we now have the most right-wing government we had in years, so worse poverty is on the cards now.
Yeah the next 3 years are gonna be rough ae
Yes super rough. It's not like anything was a picnic now, either. Genuinely scared.
I'm glad you called it Aotearoa because I had never heard it called that before. Happy to have learned that today.
Hey, that's neat! Thank you for learning it!
Here is a good short video on how to pronounce Aotearoa if you want to try it!
I used Google but this seems a much more reliable guide, thanks :)
