So some news from us - inbetween the chaos of moving house. Te Whare Hangahanga and I are finalists in the Sustainable Business Awards this year in the Transformational Leaders category sustainable.org.nz/next/whos-ne...

Many mainstream outlets may be silent, but we cannot be. IWCNZ calls on the NZ Govt to act with integrity: recognise Palestine, uphold international law, and end silence in the face of injustice. Read the full press release here: #Palestine #NZPolitics #HumanRights #NZPol

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Can Bsky sort their shit out. Changing platforms farks with the audience non privileged people have for help, crowdfunding and other kaupapa.

This whole jobseeker crackdown on "young people" just seems like highly privileged people who don't understand not everyone's parents can get you ceo jobs straight out of school.

There was one in Turkey earlier this year 😂

#BringSamHome Winston Peters and Chris Luxon, may your ancestors haunt your asses.

Yeah guys I drink way too much craft beer and eat way too many cheese plates for it not to be known that there’s an implied ‘not all white people’ in all my criticisms of y’all ashy non-handwashing Salisbury steak eating asses

Fuck this government

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

If you can koha to this e te whānau, I feel like Heeni has given so much in her mahi that now it's time for us to give back to her and her whānau: givealittle.co.nz/cause/koha-f...

They hate us, but Māori is the number 1 search on P0rnhub in Aotearoa. So you actually fetishize us. Which, tbh i think I'd prefer you just hate us.

We have a project that has been in motion for a LONG time and we are looking to launch for this summer. Between me and my cousins we are launching a cultural eco tours in Wairarapa. If you're interested, let us know via the form below if weekday or weekend tours work for you. wairarapatours.com

24 September 1915 | Czech Jew, František Hoffmann, was born in Prague. He was deported to #Auschwitz from Theresienstadt ghetto on 1 February 1943. He did not survive. https://t.co/Z0jhYN920m

Also I need to make time to move my domains off i want my name. It is like 80% of the time when I apply the changes. They fail. What kind of system is this now!?

Yayayayay! Whānau are putting us up in Waitangi!! We are going to the Māori Housing Forum!!

Sunrise, Saturday, 20 September, from Makorori Headlands, Aotearoa / New Zealand. Ata mārie / Good Morning ☀️

We're a finalist in Business Wairarapa awards.

As Bird of the Year in Aotearoa swings into full campaign mode for 2025, I found myself reflecting on my time as the pekapeka spokesperson during the one (and only) time a bat was allowed in the competition 🦇

I am noticing how Jonathan Ayling is not getting on his platform after the firing of TV live hosts being fired for freespeech issues. But is first to put a post up when literal fascists are being held accountable for their bullshit human rights violations.

I find it hilarious that people invite these "futurists" to conferences to share their visions, and they are mostly boring af.

Media report on Gaza. Do they include historical context? No. Media report on possible cuts to the OCR. Do they explain WTF the OCR is? No. But Benjamin Doyle gets hounded out of Parliament by a hate mob whipped up by the Deputy PM and by god they WILL explain what "bussy" means one last time

No movement at all. Help?

Nervous af, yolo

We have a massive hui tomorrow and need all the karakia and luck you are willing to send our way please.

Look, did a bunch of us organise to have a pro Māori wards billboard on the same sign Hobson’s Pledge put their bullshit? Absolutely. Did we all put our names to it cause we're community leaders staunch in our position? Absolutely.

Have they considered the positive climate impact of Using People To Do Things Like This?

I just watched Shane Jones thoughts on Te Arikinui Kuini Nga wai hono i te po. I want to wash my brain and ears our. What an absolute condescending asshole.

I don't want to sound like a dick but "Vote Māori" doesn't really work for us when we have Jones, Seymour, Peters, Pōtaka and all the other Māori in here being the colonisers tool in here. We need to vote for te ao Māori, for kaupapa Māori, for Mātauranga Māori, for a decolonised lens.

They look like Pūkeko!!

If you’re not from NZ, saw viral videos of that haka at London’s Nazi rally yesterday, and were very confused by what you saw, check this out so I don’t have to explain a million times over the next few days how Brian Tamaki and his cult aren’t representative of all Māori. Kei te tino ngenge ahau.

Are we all watching Nepal?

14 September 1933 | A French Jewish boy, Jacques Vigderhaus, was born in Paris. In June 1943 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber. https://t.co/CemwXeV01o

They assumed they had trust. They never had trust to start with.

anyone used these guys? Can't seem to find a physical location. homemart.co.nz

Quick question - has anyone been to or bought gear from Urban Sales? Thoughts? www.urbansales.co.nz/pages/showroom

This. We are getting hounded. We are getting worn down. Please ring your mates, have the awkward conversation because it is so exhausting having to justify this and our existence.

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

It is absolutely idiotic that far right free speechers in NZ (No consequences! Only incitement!) are having any success framing this as a 'free speech' issue when the actual cause is 'no gun control'+'rapid disassembly of US democracy into era of chaotic & violently repressive authoritarian fascism'

This whole not printing Māori Ward Candidates in the electoral booklet is a fucken disheartening process for South Wairarapa. We have had racism throughout the paper road bylaw with South Wairarapa District Council submissions. This is on top of the continued attacks from our Government.

We are also moving soon as the whenua will turn into a felling and construction site. Mixed feelings, but very excited as our whānau have outgrown the whare here. Lots of things moving and changing.

I am feeling even more out of control than normal. Please karakia for us that this lands in a great way and everything can be paid for in the future. I don't even need lots of money (although that would be nice), just paying the bills would be absolutely great.

🎉 He Pānui 🎉 For as long as Sweet Noah Animal Rescue has been running, they've always managed to cover vet bills thanks to the incredible generosity of our community. But since losing our old FB page (and with it over 3,000 followers), they're struggling to keep up. If you can koha to help them!

I was in a hui yesterday where the Regional Council now have a paper that suggested native based solutions reduce flooding. Me:

From @komerata on Twitter. $44,000 to charter helicopters so Luxon could film a tiktok video. #nzpol

This guy is unhinged. Also if you're using content writers in Pakistan and are worried they are being exploited. Why use them!?
