If you need me I will be in bed crying.

And then I will get up and fight for the things that matter, like Efeso did.

What profound, deeply unfair loss.

The Savagery Directed at Golriz New Zealand has an amazing ability to drop the mask, and its not very pleasant underneath.

I see no reason why past English treason
should now be remembered instead. #parihaka
