My understanding is there is no definition, in law or anywhere else really. But a proper law person will know more.

Pro-tip for any budding politicians: Saying "It's a distraction" when your opponents begin a policy directly targeting a minority, one which will reverse your own governments gains for that minority, tells everyone in or supportive of that minority that you didn't give a fuck then and you don't now.

It’s weird that Helen of Troy being played by a black actress is a problem, but most of the rest of the Mediterranean, Greek and Turkish characters being played by incredibly fair and blond haired people of British, Irish and Scandinavian descent isn’t. And by weird, I mean entirely predictable.

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

I am trying to get in touch with the whānau of Dave Terangi, a Ngāpuhi fella who lived in Margaret St, Papakura. We did some research with Dave, and we know he has since died, but we would like to return a taonga. If anyone knows his whānau, pls DM me. Also Pls retweet (so to speak).

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

The Andrew Little situation strongly implies he just confidently assumed he could manage Chung fine, and put zero thought into it beyond that. Which means he also just assumed Tory Whanau was doing a bad job when he could cruise through. And that's disrespectful/racist/sexist as shit.

If you have any interest in trans rights, this is a pretty incredible documentary. It’s about Chase Strangio, the trans man who has been arguing before the Supreme Court. And about the ways the news media can misunderstand and misrepresent trans people.

Opinion: If The Herald's political staff wants to sneer about a "C-grade scandalette" let's go there. There's a lot of material in the archives of a newspaper, let's not forget, that waged an obsessive, and increasingly petty and bizarre, campaign to slut-shame an elected Mayor out of office.
