  • Who do you mean by we? I don’t know any boomer who isn’t right wing. I know very very few right wingers outside of that generation. Anacdotal yes, but I can’t help think this is the last gift from their generation before they cark it.

    It also doesn’t help that the right seems to shift the landscape further right, while the left sits on their hands and nothing barely changes. Its hard to label labour left anymore honestly. Just a constant ratcheting towards this brainless neoliberal experiment gone rogue.

    What was the last policy implemented by any party that had a tangibly positive affect on your living conditions? For me, none at the time I left. Made leaving slightly easier. But now I’m overseas I feel like all countries are sinking ships for workers. NZ feels a lot further along and faster than most.




  • Motorcycle accident. Broken collarbone was the worst part. Broken ribs, internal bleeding, and later an infection with high fever that put me on antibiotics for a while were the least of it surprisingly.

    The accident itself wasn’t so bad due to adrenaline, however having one piece of the collarbone almost puncture my lung, and the other piece pop out of the skin a little at the top was uncomfortable.

    The absolute worst part was recovery. The two pieces of collarbone rubbing together constantly, having to lie on my back still to sleep, while resting my arm in the sling on top of broken ribs. Unable to roll in my sleep gave me severe back pain. I basically had little to no sleep for the first 3 months. Was prescribed painkillers that didn’t do much until they upgraded me to tramidol. I didn’t react well to it so I could choose between strong pain and no sleep or strong nausia and vomiting with also no sleep.

    Painkillers don’t take away the sensation of bone rubbing on bone. The memory alone makes me shudder to this day
