Some hard-hitting investigative journalism to start your weekend: we identify who's who in Lorde's sunny new music video for 'Solar Power', at the link in bio 💛🐝☀️🌼☺️ #solarpower #lovesummerhateeverythingelse ![We stand with nurses! ✊ Thousands of nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants are striking across Aotearoa today, advocating for better pay and working conditions. Those concerns, and the national nursing shortage, have been raised by the New Zealand Nurses’ Organisations, with the latest DHB pay offer of a salary increase of “little more than 1.38%” rejected (the union is requesting a 17% increase). In Auckland, nurses will march up Queen Street at 1pm, and in Wellington, a rally starts at Civic Square at 12pm. For a detailed breakdown of the strikes, head to @radionewzealand]()

VISIT 🌊 My heart is in the Coromandel and I get there whatever chance I get (including this weekend). I’m planning on some blustery walks, cold-ocean swims and eating at @lukes_kitchen, @kuakawhe and @cookedcoromandel.
LISTEN👂 @maintenancephase is a super-entertaining and impeccably-researched podcast that debunks weight loss and exposes the insidiousness of diet culture. It’s hosted by @yrfatfriend and Michael Hobbes (who co-hosts another of my favourite podcasts, You’re Wrong About).
MAKE 🍌 Every Sunday I make the Ultimate Banana Bread from @smittenkitchen (but as muffins for the school lunchbox) and a salad dressing for the week ahead. Either the sherry vinegar vinaigrette from @turshen, the carrot ginger miso dressing from @goop or the tahini one from @littlebirdkitchen.
READ 📚 I pre-ordered 'The Summer Job' by @lizzy.dent, a Kiwi friend living in Austria, and it’s happily arrived in time for the long weekend.
WATCH 📺 I’m currently re-watching 'Community' with my kids and love it just as much the second time around. It makes welcome relief from the other two shows I’ve loved lately (after they go to bed) - 'The Serpent' and 'Mare of Easttown.'
FOLLOW 📲 One of my Instagram favourites is @monachalabi, a data journalist who uses stats and data to impart FACTS. Groundbreaking stuff.
EAT 🥣 The Vietnamese crepe at @Littlebirdkitchen, fried chicken at @ockeedokey, milk buns at @gochugotyou, kumara tortilla at @orphanskitchen, and the orange blossom choc chip icecream at @duckislandicecream which I’m so excited to see back on the menu for winter.
DO 🧩 My favourite Sunday afternoon activity is sitting down with a CBD honey tea from @aureila.ora and losing myself in a jigsaw puzzle. Friends recently sent me several @pieceworkpuzzles from the US and it’s my fave new brand. For something more active, I love @kcore_pilates, @yogawithmartina and @eridani.francis.milly.]()

If you're in Tāmaki Makaurau over the long weekend, it's worth a visit. ![Happy long weekend (for those here in NZ)! 💖 Make the most of it with these weekend recommendations from Ensemble co-founder @iamzoewalker ➡️
LISTEN 🎧 ‘cloud bursting high femme energy’ - a Spotify playlist based on a TikTok requesting songs that have “raging femme energy and you passionately dance to like a white grandma on her 7th Sherry. (I'm still listening to SOUR by Olivia Rodrigo on repeat, too)
VISIT 🕰️ Sunday market @centralflea, just off Dominion Road by Junk & Disorderly; and the full-to-the-brim Antique & Collectors Fair at the Avondale markets on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month (that's this weekend!). Very good vintage homeware at both.
EAT 🥢 The Katsu sando from @omni_akl, one of my favourite restaurants. And maybe one of the best cheese scones in Auckland, from @baciofoodstore
READ 📖 ‘Because, Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language’ by linguist Gretchen McCulloch explores how being #VeryOnline is changing how we speak and write. This nerdy language stuff speaks to my nerdy soul (see: the rise and fall of the word cheugy).
READ #2 💻 ‘The Anxiety of Influencers’ by Barrett Swanson for @harpersmagazine is a brilliant long read that's both reasoned and very sceptical.
WATCH 📺 Late to this, but ‘The Other Two’ on Neon is intelligent-but-extremely-silly dark humour, following the clueless siblings of a young Justin Bieber type character who has gone viral and is becoming famous (or, “the next big white kid”).
FOLLOW 📲 New account @callsheet_nz, sharing old local fashion editorials. I like the element of surprise, and how it acknowledges the importance and richness of our NZ fashion history and imagery.
