I remembered that moment because I'm reading a book called "All he wants for Christmas is a fingerling", which is about a wolf shifter AND a potato shifter. Anyway.

The other week, I had dinner with whānau. There were boiled potatoes. I turned to my cousin and said, "What excellent boiled potatoes. Many years since I have had such an exemplary vegetable." My cousin did not recognise the quote and said, "Ae tika!"

I don't recommend following me. It's prob gonna be a terrible experience

I get why. But hika mā

That whole whakaaro is rooted in racism. We're going to combat racism with...racism

I'm a little sad that it's not enough that the principles bill is racist and harmful to Māori for ppl to object. We gotta package it up to show how it can be bad for others

Not Marshall reinforcing his privilege

The first time I heard it i think @rakinui.bsky.social played it at a work event and i spent the night delighting in other ppl twigging and then realising they liked it

A referendum o.O maumau taima. Maumau moni.

Almost that time of year when the All I want for xmas/Last Xmas covers playlist gets put on repeat. Has become one of my fav traditions @grumpyyetamusin.bsky.social

I'm about to start Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch. It's a retelling of Arthur, but from Morgan Le Fay's perspective. hoarderreader had it listed on their '10 books with female rage' list

With a bit of re-working, it looks better on its side o.O

I wear the Queer AF one *lots* and a young couple at the Kerikeri market recognised it as being one of yours when we were running our stall

And their pins zomg their pins *heart eyes*

Te atua ki te rangi / Te Aupōuri ki te whenua

As always I recommend supporting our beautiful dying media industry by clicking on the article but this has reminded of something John Campbell said about objectivity in the "good old days" a few years ago

Reminds me of Leclerc's article about how impartiality in discussions of racism are an epistemic privilege

Your shawl, though 😍

Ō kupu, e hoa *te kihi a te kuki* (chef's kiss lolol)

I kī a Joel 'Ka nui te fomo'. Āe mārika

Stop the Treaty Principles Bill - TOITŪ TE TIRITI!! In 1835, 189 years ago, a gathering of great chiefs of Aotearoa signed He Whakaputanga with representatives of the British Crown. Five years from that date, Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed between Māo...

Closing in fast on 200,000 signatures. The current count (194,339 right now) is the same number of people as 6.7% of voters in the 2023 general election, more than the entire NZ First vote. 250,000 would beat the entire Act Party vote. #ToitūTeTiriti

Hīkoi sign that reads "Pākehā stand with Māori it's way more fun!"

Got the livestream playing while I work. There in spirit

I keep it and occasionally use it. But my fav days are now olden days lol
