Emotive Language

Andrea from Morningside

When all is said and done
And words have failed me
I look at Facebook posts
And read between the Emojis

These little symbols
That represent a post
Are safe to say what you want… View more
When all is said and done
And words have failed me
I look at Facebook posts
And read between the Emojis

These little symbols
That represent a post
Are safe to say what you want
And used to say what you won’t

A happy face, a thumbs up
Suggest that you agree
A frown, a cry, a grimace
Show a vent for you to see

For when you write a comment
You are open for scrutiny
Better to post an emojion
And leave the audience to agree

Hi Neighbours, membership is free...join the Poetry and Prose group, we would welcome new members :)

I said I would keep you all posted if any new info came to light about the future of the old villa at 59 Spring St, Onehunga. A resource consent application proposes development of 31 terraced houses across two properties – 59 and 61A Spring Street. The old villa would be relocated. No decisions have been made and the resource consent application is still in the very early stages of processing. However, do you have any concerns about the proposal or relocation of the old villa? Would you like to see 31 terraced houses there? Why/why not? Feel free to email me kendall.hutt@stuff.co.nz. Please put NFP if your comment is not for publication.

Activism for 'introverts': Craftivists find their political voice

Auckland crafters are on a mission to change the world one stitch at a time.

The newly-launched Craftivist​ Companions are turning to needlework to find their political voice at Ponsonby's Unitarian Church in central Auckland.

Ten “introverted” activists are creating mini protest banners
– the square placards will form a temporary quilt that will be presented to Auckland Council on April 1 for the updated living wage announcement.

The banners will then be left as “respectful graffiti” on public spaces such as lamp posts.

Group founder and church member Kay​ Parish​ said the goal was to get people thinking from a different perspective.

A midwife driven by a strong dislike of injustice, she was inspired by a movement in England led by Sarah Corbett and the Craftivist​ Collective.

“Sarah talks about craftivism as being an ideal form of activism for introverts, people who don’t love getting out there shouting and challenging people in a confrontational way,” said Parish.

“Craftivism is a way of approaching people more gently and presenting a message in a more respectful and thoughtful way.”

Corbett’s group persuaded British retailer Marks & Spencer to pay its workers a living wage by giving every board member a personalised hand-embroidered handkerchief explaining why paying a living wage should fit with their values.

“The board members really took that message on board ...and it just shifted their perspective,” Parish said.

The Titirangi resident said paying people a fair wage helped them live their lives with dignity.

Overhead Powerlines

Bowan from Hillsborough

Hi all,
Does anyone know or hear anything about the government looking at removing the overhead powerlines that run through Mt Roskill? Or am I delusional as it will never happen?
