I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.

Kia ora, Talofa, Hello everyone! I saw a few other people recently that were new to Blue Sky that had posted introduction posts, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. So this is me. My name is Mark Fa'amaoni, but my friends call me Big Mark.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Cis people: This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand. And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

It’s not a debate, it’s a disinformation campaign ✒️ A necessary and important response to recent commentary on trans rights in NZ media Massive thanks to @jennifilm.nz for trusting us to host this

Kia ora talofa all! I just posed a quick update on my blog. It goes into details about my health, where I'm at...and where I'm heading. Check it out here: www.bigmark.co.nz/posts/2025-u...

Today's information environment is spectacle. It's about attention. The way to win in that environment is to genuinely believe what you believe, to believe in yourself, to *actively try to draw attention*, to showboat & peacock & find gimmicks & excuses to highlight the fights you want.

Proud to share the new CaringStay website, built with Lizzie over the past few weeks. It’s clean, modern and easy to use. Lizzie’s also launched CaringStay to You — helping people get support at home after surgery or hospital stays. See it live here: www.caringstay.co.nz

Appreciate the pātai. Te Pāti Māori won’t let Aotearoa import UK/US-style hate. We reject attacks on trans, non-binary and takatāpui whānau. That’s not who we are. Our Te Tiriti commitment means protecting mana, inclusion, and whānau safety. Whakapapa over wedges. Manaakitanga over fear. Always.

I'm going to be more active on Blue Sky now. Gonna keep it to work stuff mainly :) So I'll just reshare my introduction from a couple of years ago.

"In moments when you wish you were dead. Live. You are a good person. Don’t give up. Just by having someone to cheer you on like that You can breathe again." RIP Lee Sun–Kyun. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjZ6...

I've got a relatively light schedule over the next few weeks, and I'm available to work on new projects. I can build you a beautiful, functional, website that is easy-to-update, accessible, and friendly for your visitors to use. Just give me a shout, or share this around :) www.bigmark.co.nz

Kate Herron and Briony Redman have written an episode for nu-who. I LOVED Kate's work on season 1 of Loki, and LOVE that RTD reached out to her for the new show. www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...
