This has John Tamihere written all over it - he is a snake and should be nowhere near Te Pati Māori.

Thank you David and angel - that was a very difficult read. Anorexia is evil and I feel so heartbroken Alex died alone. Thank you for giving him dignity and agency in this article. I’m afraid his parents might never understand their heinous behaviour, it will be devastating for them when they do. ❤️

I learned today that a language dies every 14 days on average in this world. The most powerful act against this is to speak languages daily.
Kia kaha te reo Māori e te whānau.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters continues media attacks during first Cabinet meeting photo oppo... Winston Peters has again taken a swing at media, and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has ignored questions about the appropriateness of his deputy's remarks.

I have resigned as poetry editor of The New York Times
Magazine.
The Israeli state's U.S-backed war against the people of Gaza is not a war for anyone. There is no safety in it or from it, not for Israel, not for the United States or Europe, and especially not for the many Jewish people slandered by those who claim falsely to fight in their names. Its only profit is the deadly profit of oil interests and weapon manufacturers. The world, the future, our hearts everything grows smaller and harder from from it. This is not only a war of missiles and land invasions. It is the ongoing devastation of the people of Palestine, people who have resisted throughout decades of occupation, forced dislocation, deprivation, surveillance, siege, imprisonment, and torture.
Because our status quo is self-expression, sometimes all artists have left is to refuse. So I refuse. I won't write about poetry alongside the "reasonable" tones of those who aim to acclimatize us to unreasonable suffering. No more g

I only decided to go to medical school when my GP told me a story about the time he looked in a kids ear and a cockroach was looking back at him. And honestly that hasn’t turned out to be a big part of the job.
