Will @maddowblog.bsky.social be acknowledging and responding to the critiques?

mine did a disgusted shrug and made a "pfft" noise and left unsaid "who the FUCK knows with this asshole."
while the groupings feel generally accurate to me, the sexism drips from that article. where the men have had it rough, the women are welfare queens.
where the men are stand-up earners, the women selfishly just want to protect their own jobs.
who are those shitstains who wrote this?
a sandwich board a little over 1m high on the footpath outside a clothing shop. in the distance is a red car and stacks and rows of traffic cones, wellington's ever-blooming native flower. the sandwich board reads: KI LT new zealand made & designed 🤍
oh thank goodness someone put up a sign.
there's an association for this???
(i'm ridic excited because plotting out epidemics based on child graves in old graveyards is one of my weird-to-most-people hobbies.)
"People frequently told us that the vaccine mandates caused division in society that lingers to this day," said this last report.
oh, so it was *vax mandates* and not the barrage of russian online antivax propaganda and disinfo the country continues to be subjected to?
😑

two pouwhenua at wai-titi landing, designed by ra vincent. from wikipedia: "The two pouwhenua are 6.3 m high and made of white cement and marble. They represent waka prows: traditionally waka were placed upright in the ground at the end of a journey. Carved onto the pouwhenua are figures representing the people of the land and a kōwhai design representing the spirit of the land." the pouwhenua stand in the grass on either side of a cement walkway across a small park at molesworth st. a bright blue sky with a few wispy white clouds is overhead; yellow brick buildings with red roofs are seen in the distance across the street.
one of two bronze lions in front of the wellington cenotaph. the lion is in a pushed-back cat stretch, with a growly snarly face; the bronze is heavily weathered blue-green on the front paws and top of the head.
the supreme court of aotearoa new zealand, as seen kitty-corner across the intersection of whitmore and lambton quay. the low building is adorned with a recycled bronze and red glass screen along the upper half, inspired by the branches of pōhutukawa and rātā trees. the sky overhead is bright blue, and a yellow city bus waits at the light on lambton quay.
the invisible city sculpture at the corner of lambton quay and grey street. two large, rectangular stainless steel rectangles, invoking book pages, stand slightly offset from each other, with a poem inscribed in braille upon them. a yellow-green high-viz is reflected in the right-hand block. the sculptures read: The word made flesh can bleed; are we bound or free? Embracing visual silence, alone I breed a virtual skin of words across the void but if the fault line ruptures, the word made flesh will bleed. By the unseen quay I plant this graven seed. Flayed by the wind, of permanence devoid, tethered sign to skin, we’re both bound and freed more information about the sculpture is online at https://www.sculpture.org.nz/the-sculptures/invisible-city
