Heads up Ōtautahi. M. and I are going to support the kids tomorrow, May 15, at the Bridge of Remembrance. 1pm (midday?) as they continue their call for climate action from the government. More elves required.
M., Ed the dog, and I went to Ōtautahi to support the #SchoolStrike4Climate.
Ko wai ngā tamariki koi ngā hinengaro?
The kids are alright!
Last year I came home very disappointed with the lack of persons. So different from the heydays of the dawn of the movement, on the shoulders of the epic effort by Greta. Cathedral Square was near capacity back then. This year, no more people than last, but it's not knocking me back quite as it did last year. Older, more resigned? But still inclined to resist and murmer.
It was visually fun, being #PinkShirtDay, pink tutus on boys and girls, and such like.
Nice to see familiar faces amongst the few greying folk like myself. I've never shared more than a smile, I'm not normally social. John Minto is always there.
Anyhow, that's my report.
We're fucked. Sorry about that.
