I went to the Stop the War march in Tamariki Makaurau yesterday. Despite the impending cyclone, and the implied threats of violence from pro-US counterprotesters, a few hundred people attended. Enough to block Queen St and Custom St while we marched down to the US consulate, and did a mass die-in. This video covers it pretty well;

There's another day of action planned for May Day (May 1).

I’m not kidding when I say I spent years asking for recommendations for podcasts “told in a narrative format over many episodes” when what I was looking for was audiobooks 🥲

There are definitely some podcasts like this - like the nonfiction shows “The City” (Reveal), “Unreformed,” “This Land” (Crooked), “Blind Plea” (Lemonada) & “Central” (My Cultura Network); and the fiction series “Alice Isn’t Dead” & “The Bright Sessions” - but FAR more audiobooks!y
