The term “patriarchal bargain” was coined to describe how women sacrifice dignity, opportunity and self-determination to survive male domination.  I write in The Diplomat about how Fiji as a society has also made trade-offs to survive violence. thediplomat.com/2025/07/fiji...

Excellent writing by @mnailatikau.bsky.social 👏🏽

A great piece by @mnailatikau.bsky.social that all our fellow Fijians should read. Ashamed of the leadership in my country.

Latest developments highlight the serious moral costs of Rabuka’s support for Trump and Israel. From me in @Diplomat_APAC: thediplomat.com/2025/04/rabu...

Just found out my image, along with a made up testimonial, is being used to promote a “Finance Legend” so-called investment platform I’ve never heard of. It’s been reported to the Online Safety Commission. Stay sharp out there, folks - don’t get scammed. #TeamFiji

A joy to be in conversation with ‘Ofa Guttenbeil-Likiliki, Niketa Kulkarni, Virisila Buadromo, and Nikki Bartlett, reflecting on how Pacific women are challenging norms of credible research. inoceania.substack.com/p/thinking-a...

Fiji’s Jerusalem embassy raises key questions: Why now? What’s the benefit? I spoke with #PacificBeat on how it contradicts Fiji’s foreign policy, flouts international law, and shifts focus from urgent domestic issues - with an election looming: www.abc.net.au/pacific/prog...

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

No. Also historically this is hilarious. See: Gilgamesh.

Rewatched SUCCESSION S1 and had to laugh when Tom Wambsgans mentioned he’s from Saint Paul. Totally forgot that detail! Missing the Twin Cities this time of year ❄️

Calling Colombians in Fiji and the Pacific! 🇨🇴 A Colombian radio station is looking to interview Colombians living in the region for an audio segment in Spanish on New Year’s Eve. If you’re keen or know someone who might be, let me know. 👋🏾😊

“For me, one of the most subversive images in art is a Black man resting—not dead but resting—his body not compelled to work for anyone’s gaze. His body ungovernable…” Roger Reeves’ essay ‘When The Prince of Heaven Sleeps’ is such a beautiful read. emergencemagazine.org

AND SO I WAKE IN THE MORNING AND I STEP OUTSIDE AND I TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND GET REAL HIGH AND I SCREAM FROM THE TOP OF MY LUNGS, "WHATS GOING ON?" AND I SAY HEY-EY-EY HEY-EY-EY I SAID "HEY, A-WHATS GOING ON?"

They made it very clear twitter was a nazi bar and now they’re terrified that people don’t want to hang out there anymore

Whatever the opposite of FOMO is, I feel that about Threads

Threads is my absolute limit.

I wish people who kept rejoicing at Twitter dying realize that people had source of income from Twitter.
