Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: Clouded Leopard Cubs

Heather Hastie — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:59:26 +0000

Two very cute cubs were born to Lowry Park Zoo’s (Tampa, Florida) clouded leopard couple, Malee and Yim, on 29 February. However, Malee stopped feeding her cubs after the first day so zoo staff have stepped up to the task. The cubs are a male and female and the zoo says they are “stable.” They […]

Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: The Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth

Heather Hastie — Sat, 05 Mar 2016 21:49:13 +0000

Once again my Tau Kē (very cool) of the week comes via Amy Carparelli. She monitors the videos that come from ZSL (Zoological Society of London/London Zoo) and they released this one on Friday about the critically endangered pygmy three-toed sloth. Apparently it’s only since 2001 that this animal has been properly described by scientists. […]

Auē Tēnei Wiki: My Patron Saint is St Francis of Assisi

Heather Hastie — Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:55:52 +0000

It must be true, because the internet said so. I’m not quite up to thinking too hard yet, but I thought I’d make the effort to do my weekly Auē a Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki posts anyway. In an experiment to see whether God would intervene in the heresy of an atheist taking the test, […]

Auē a Tau Kē – 2015 Update: Bangladesh, Serco, Kim Davis, Rosa Rubicondior

The Murder of Atheist Bloggers in Bangladesh On 14 May 2015 I posted Bangladesh: Another Atheist Blogger Hacked to Death. This post was mainly about the murder two days earlier of Ananta Bijoy Das, the fourth atheist blogger hacked to death in the streets of Bangladesh and the (then) third this year. The response of […]

Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: An Atheist Christmas

Heather Hastie — Sat, 19 Dec 2015 23:28:43 +0000

I celebrate Christmas. Not Christ’s mass, but all the other stuff. I have a big Christmas tree with lights and decorations, other decorations around the house, and my front windows all have lights in them to delight passers by. New Zealand pretty much closes down over the Christmas/New Year break. We have a couple of […]

Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: GOP Disavows Trump

Heather Hastie — Sat, 12 Dec 2015 23:17:19 +0000

It’s about time really. Ever since he entered the race to become the Republican party’s candidate for the 2016 presidency, Donald Trump has been abusing and insulting just about every demographic imaginable. Despite that, he has continued to mostly lead the polls and dominate the media coverage. It seems that no matter what he says, […]

Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: Some Funnies

Heather Hastie — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 23:20:23 +0000

You may have noticed there was no Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki yesterday. I just couldn’t think of anything positive to write about. However, it’s still Sunday in some parts of the world, so I thought I’d just put up a few funnies for you to enjoy. You gotta wonder just what the teacher was good […]

Auē Tēnei Wiki: Fox News Coverage of the California Massacre

Heather Hastie — Sun, 06 Dec 2015 00:13:38 +0000

We’re back to the show I both love, but frequently gets me all riled up – Fox New’s The Five. On Friday (Thursday US time) they discussed the horrific events in San Bernadino, California at length, insisting it was terrorism, and being angry with the FBI (and, by extension, the Obama administration) for not saying […]

Tau Kē Tēnei Wiki: A New Refugee Centre for New Zealand

Heather Hastie — Sun, 29 Nov 2015 04:43:57 +0000

As a New Zealander, I’m proud to say that my country is not only improving the facilities for new refugees coming here, but increasing our capacity so we can take even more than we do currently. Pride wouldn’t normally be my response in this matter. As one of the wealthier countries in the world I […]

Auē Tēnei Wiki: Terrorism in Colorado

Heather Hastie — Sun, 29 Nov 2015 02:31:08 +0000

I watched the events at Planned Parenthood in Colorado Springs unfold on TV on Saturday (Friday US time), mostly on Fox News. Throughout they were careful, as any news organisation should be, not to attribute any motive to the gunman. (For those that don’t know, Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organisation that provides women’s reproductive […]
