Talia Marshall

We wanted to understand how rugged English-Scots-Irish culture has shaped America. So we talked to three white South African billionaires at a sex party in the Bahamas.

The official border between baches and cribs is the Waitaki River

Took six years but I finally got Covid. It sucks. Send treats.

Week in Review:
A Talia Marshall meditation on Dunedin life, inspired by powerful new novel Party Boy by Breton Dukes

my son says that with brown genius, players get hurt more, and i would have to agree

I neglected to mention in this that my grandfather Mugwi Macdonald is Jamie Joseph's oncle and that JJ's daughter played for the Blackferns in the RWC25 on a break from medical school. Also, last night the Highlanders beat the Crusaders based on audacity and skill so keep it #tututru and in house

the other thing that is troubling to admit is that National governments have engaged more meaningfully with iwi than Labour, aside from Michael Joseph Savage's first Labour government which has proven to be the anomaly not the rule

the troubling thing about pakehas with power is that they always believe they are sincere.

pakehas don't really fuk wit her either, and by pakehas i mean the people of Thames and Takaka who are eternally concerned that they can have festivals in ugly pants

someone has to lol

i love k road but it feels like that is her version of us and that kind of thinking is faulty af

why is Chloe Swarbrick cosplaying being us in her bougie blanket and tiki heavy chest without ever getting deeply amongst us, all power to the wahine coming in but who is she really? Sadly optics is everything in politics and she ain't it.

i mean wtaf

my son alerted me to the fact there is a social media app for bots now, humans are only allowed to watch, its uptake is rivalling upscrolled, can the revenge of the nerds stop now please

them (via text): give me a 25 word synopsis

me: sends a wine-driven 5 minute voice message

Hm, also the Brian Boyd fiasco broke on X not here.

Plus, nosy.

I have taken the paywall off because I realised the only honest reason I'm on this site is to make sure I can chat to Alice Tawhai if I need to.

I mean Africa and southern coastal Europe are so close.

Also have they ever looked at a map.

memes are funny but they are also a sign that language and the image have become divorced from each other because irony is a form of cope.

So much unfiltered atrocity online and people have to be coy and say graped, unalived and pdfile if they want to call it out. The way we use language isn't working.

As much as I appreciate Billie Eillish saying that no one can be called an illegal alien on stolen land these statements tend to backfire because famous rich people are not good at looking in the mirror, or maybe they are too good. If she wants to be true to her Irish tipuna, refund the IRA.

Lipstick on your collar Being gleeful about the Epstein files only works if you think there is such a thing as justice in the world and that it can be meted out when the very existence of the files has so far proven otherwis...

paywalled this one to protect myself tbh
