They should have translators at hand for every time Bish murders te reo Māori.

The major threat to the health of children in the US are the men in the photo and their thick as pig shit teams.

Record fair tomorrow is an absolute fucking stunning line up of sellers and i am stuck painting the fucking house fucking fml

Late night thought. For all the raru around Tākuta, when he talks about “we are the sovereign” or whatevs you know who else said that? Those who signed he whakaputanga and those that signed te tiriti when they too asserted their sovereignty. Just a random thought.

UPDATE—21 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Ro Khanna: "I agree with the UN commission's heartbreaking finding that there is a genocide in Gaza. What matters is what we do about it—stop military sales that are being used to kill civilians and recognize a Palestinian state."

Rep. Becca Balint: "I believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. As the granddaughter of a man murdered in the Holocaust, it is not easy for me to say that. But the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

Breaking. "To count as genocide [under the 1948 UN genocide convention], at least one of five acts must have occurred. The UN commission found that Israel had committed four of them." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Halbert can say all he wants but it was TPM who called for an Aotearoa Hou not more of the fence sitting peeps despo for that centre. It was they who told us whakapapa was enough, they who centre intergenerational trauma and healing, who by embracing whakaputanga and TOW create space for all.

If TPM had done that ad you can fucking bet the others woulda piled in.

Who gonna save the states from ChrISIS

The Gilded Age star Morgan Spector — who joins Hannah Einbinder & Javier Bardem in boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide — explains why he & others are speaking out despite industry pressures: "Israel wants to portray itself as David, Israel is Goliath."

America took their religion and inbred the shit out of it.

The energy put into making a white conservative look all MOR is the same in the opposite direction used to demonise black people killed by the system. Fuck that dude. Fuck that country.

New album from Leisure beating the greys of the day away

Main takeaway last night is that i could walk a loop with the stu at centre, mt Eden rd, back of prison, by the hosp over to k and along to gt north down bond to new nth and back to roundhead with plenty of time to get ready. Good intel

First gig in 5months. Some musical ups and downs. Mum was on the mind, saw someone in that audience that reminded me of LB, and i had a lot of internal chatter. New phase of music coming up, playing wise, i think. Lotsa mirror looking and lots more how to impart my active brain into coherent lines

The Israeli military assassinated five journalists and at least 19 Palestinians total in two targeted strikes on Nasser Medical Complex this morning.

Haven’t solved the centre combo since ‘15….

Until the day that my soul takes flight, Babylon will hear my voice youtu.be/n8j7vojNYco?...

Never again is now.

Each day the intl community do nothing more than spout words against the genocide, they become more complicit. Words are hollow.

Genocide hasn’t gone away. Starvation hasn’t gone away. But christ how quick those media types like to point their proverbial cameras elsewhere.

That security intelligence report seems like it was written in the new fbi offices. Talk about reinforcing a narrative to justify shit lol

When your report doesn’t put cost at the top of the list, you missing the goddamn point. I say as i gobble pain relief to hold off bankruptcy of needing to go dentist. This isn’t taken seriously enough www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Hey, come on, who hasn’t taken time out of a meeting to confer with the boss

Love feeding the local tūī through winter. But these lil MF so confident that when they want a top up they fly to my deck and wait for me, then follow me and possie up above me waiting like impatient…..well…..my kids basically

Still complicit in genocide

The ol clear out the house process for Mum’s. Aus fam have arrived again, so i’ll have my two rugrat iramutu annoyingly call me Uncle Chip while they and daughter trash my house and hassle the son, who we forgot to tell until last night

Never got to the admin. Got to the wine tho. Got to life shit (dinner, wrangling kids to bed, spending time discussing the next thing to be discussed and sorted as we sort through Mum's life). Āpōpō.

The way starvation came and went in the news cycle amidst an ongoing genocide, Usain Bolt himself would be thinking "now that was quick" The amount of desperation to "look over there!" in the media throughout all of this shit is so despairingly exposing

Right….tonight [not yet] i open my fb messages and read emails….i may be some time…..thank you for your patience……please come again

Never again is now.

“Guys we’re struggling to get traction, how can we get something rolling?!” “Have we turned up the racism dial lately?!” “ZING”

Jump on FaceTime with bro to get some reno advice. Convo high jacked by daughter, finally get it back then spend the rest if the time trying to stop looking like a fuxking unicorn while my niece and nephew laugh their asses off I’m never gonna get this house done

They whined so much around these ways the council backed down and put less safe things in place. Cause people around Greenhithe fucking suck at staying in a lane.
