Elite Brownies Fundraiser… 2mo $10 brownies, art, signed books and treats auction, April 1st, 4.30-7.30pm St Andrew’s on the Terrace church hall… Raising funds for 4 sexualised violence support services, Moana women MPs of the opposition and women harmed by racism. Come sugar-rush for good causes!

This is a great project!!!

e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-... Super important that we can understand the discursive techniques so that we can catch them - and if in an interview with him - can challenge him when he’s talking! It takes some training but rhetoric devices can be spotted and challenged in the moment. It’s powerful.

I’m so looking forward to this conversation 💜💜💜

Inclusion, respect, equality. Such terribly wide awake brains consider these. Nana naps… going back to sleep, numbing, dumbing, lobotomy material. It’s the revenge of the privileged feeling like they are not good enough even without their obvious advantages…

Gaslit!!!

Grateful for a functioning judiciary

Topped with imaginary marmite

Advice for our allegedly Christian PM. When Jesus said “Suffer the little children...” he really didn’t mean “Make the little children suffer” Just saying. #nzpol

“All these fools, however, find other fools who will vote them in.” 😂😂😂

He has no idea of how much families are struggling under his watch. “Let them eat cake.” This man only knows privilege and doesn’t even know his own privilege.

Whoa. Thank you Tory ❤️

Palau and Marshall Islands vote with the U.S. :( This is why Tino Rangatiratanga in Moana-Nui is so important.

“Nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have.”James Baldwin

Lolz!

🇵🇸 :(

Aargh. Whakamaa Aotearoa.

😂😂😂

I hope we stand and hold.

None of my playlists work for these times.

This is how I feel about the U.S.

pmn.co.nz/read/politic... So proud of Tongan horse power supporting and uphold Te Tiriti 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴 Mate Ma’a Te Tiriti!!! #pacificcousins

I’ll be using this word! We need the language!

How beautiful

Tautoko!

It must be satire. No. No. No.

My fav thing on the internet today.

Ahahahaha

Everyday another dumb thing.

I can’t watch this myself, cos #cringe 😂 but it is doing the rounds. Honoured to honour my ancestors (Tangata Tiriti) who needed this stuff said. www.facebook.com/share/r/1BY1...

Sign the petition: The Green Party is calling for Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to restore proper funding for the school lunches programme, to drop the cut-price corporate model and restore the nutritious, community-led lunches we had before these changes. action.greens.org.nz/save_school_...

I know there’s some old saying about when you give with contempt or bitterness in your heart, it’s perhaps better not to give at all. #Seymour

That little sick feeling in your stomach when you find out you are the speaker straight after Annette Sykes… just the most incredible, dynamic, fierce, clear, confident and on-kaupapa speaker in the country 😂😂😂👀 *sweet* *no presh*

Conundrum. 😂

open.substack.com/pub/emilywri... Ahh Emily, thank goodness for unflinching, brave, funny Emily. I have written a poem called “For my friends who’ve received death threats from white supremacists” Email [email protected] to read it and fabulous poetry from Moana poets.

This makes me feel happy 😂😂😂

Some days it feels liberating to be a Karori housewife! See you at 1pm

Gold as per usual Tina ❤️

Like a beautiful “found poem” (composed by M. Bradbury)

www.1news.co.nz/2025/02/23/w... To blame this on China for doing something perfectly within its legal rights is an ugly, racist red herring. They are not currently, aggressively threatening world peace. Our commitment to being one of five-eyes for the aggressor who is threatening world peace is 😞

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

I fact-checked this and can’t understand it. Are the elites so scathing and manipulative of the general populace that they are recruiting political support and power - tactically - via neo-Nazi Christofacism without believing in it, or living its values - AT ALL!? It’s so WOW. Incomprehensible!

Ahh this. Was waiting for this and I’d like to see more of it.

youtu.be/Uxq6u2fg8c4 jeepers!!! Ominous. And I feel for those in the U.S. who can’t escape to NZ… even though we have our own problems… but his callousness about if the US collapses that all of us go down with it… hard to know!

Because there is an abundance of employment in Gisborne!!! Atrocious! So so so so so so bad! Gah!!!
