Quite like this shot I got at Lake Ohau a few weeks back.

ive actually never felt so disheartened and let down by my country bro. having been well-entrenched in the health system for the past 5 years, i would have hoped that nzers - having heard the stories of overworked healthcare workers - would have voted against the coalition that

We need to end this myth that the private sector runs things well, and the public sector runs things badly, before it is too late. It is very easy to make the public sector look bad by starving it of money and resources over time. We must learn to see through this.

People aren't just TIRED. They're grieving the lives they thought they'd be living by now while trying to survive a reality that keeps moving the finish line.

i still can't wrap my head around the fact that humans were given a planet overflowing with trees, fruits, water, wildlife, and sunlight, only to create debt and war.

It's crazy how you can put this video in context of any country across the globe and it would still make sense. Everyone is growing tired of their incompetent government.

The idea that “Money can’t buy happiness” is such a Baby Boomer concept. I don’t want extreme wealth for luxuries like a gold plated toilet seat, Karen. I just don’t want to be crying because I can’t afford both spaghetti and rent after working 40 hours a week.

I never skip this video.
Prince was asked to do a solo on a cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps and he showed up to the rehearsal and barely played anything. Didn’t have any solo ready at all and didn’t play one. They asked what he was going to play and he just said “Don’t worry about it.” Then, on the night of the performance he just looms out of the shadows and plays this. The way he pivots off that F# root note into Dorian mode is so good. Massively underrated guitarist.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy Limitless growth in a closed finite system. In Biology,such behavior of cells is called CANCER.

A wetland is not wasted space waiting to be developed. It is part of nature’s infrastructure, storing excess water during floods, releasing it during dry periods and supporting entire ecosystems. Calling it useless land only makes sense if you ignore everything it does.

WHY ARE WE SO QUICK TO ASSUME POOR PEOPLE WILL TAKE MORE THAN THEY NEED, BUT SO QUIET ABOUT THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP WHO HAVE ALREADY HOARDED MORE THAN ANYONE COULD EVER NEED?

SMDH at those people who are like "nothing is free, the taxpayers pay" like Yes and we'd rather pay for free medical care and education rather than into the pockets of landlords and tobacco companies fml.

the french would rather burn paris to the ground than be forced to have a job for two more years, gotta respect that.
French workers staged a nationwide strike to oppose the government’s plan to raise the retirement age by two years, to 64.

luxos campaign being centred around “here’s why you shouldn’t vote for them” and not “here’s why you should vote for us” is brutally amateur

i just saw a woman say: “isn’t it strange that we were taught to fear the witches, but not the men who burned them?” and honestly… that stopped me in my tracks.
