Anyway, Ngā mihi o te tau hou Pākeha, manifesting the fall of empires and capitalism. To better things. 🥳

Craving some heavyweight Dub.

The correlation between companies named after the Tolkien legendarium and their CEO/Founder being a chittering skinwalker fingering his own taint at the idea of draining the planet of all its resources and then fucking off to a sealed dome in New Zealand while everyone else suffers is extremely high

Best of the Year: Ingenious podcast: Pre-colonial Māori didn’t have a housing problem. The Crown created one. Can the past give us clues to fix housing today?

Wonderful to see this recognition for Matua Tom Roa. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/new-year-...

Oh FFS.

RIP Isiah Whitlock Jr. We loved all the characters you played, especially as Clay Davis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UXJ...

Moe mai raa Isiah Whitlock Jr. 😔

My next gig will be fighting racism with haangii.

It's an interesting mental shift centering Matariki over the Gregorian calendar.

There’s a new book out about pretendians, 'Who Gets to be an Indian?', and I interviewed author @dinagw.bsky.social. She says while she doesn’t want to be in the business of calling people out, people should expect to have to prove their claims of Native identity. www.hcn.org/articles/we-...

Wretched of the Earth, Unite!

Everyone working in retail, hospitality, and front line health care watching yet another news story about "our long summer break"

It'd be nice to see the ancient homelands (Taiwan) before WWIII kicks off over it.

Rhythm and Vines is my idea of hell on earth.

Won't somebody please think of the economy.

Raumati? Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

Currently obsessed with Ngātoro-i-rangi.

He who sets out to "get my ass" should dig two graves (one for each cheek)

Describe your bluesky account in one image

One of my first 'professional' shoots. Portraits of my brothers band, the DECEPTIKONZ, in 2006 & shot in our lounge. I had just switched formats & was learning to use my new DSLR, a Nikon D70s. Had no idea what I was doing but gave it go & it helped the usos were easy to direct & they trusted me.

The worst thing about gentrification is the shit music they bring. 😑

If interested in how the theft/colonisation of Aboriginal land was originally funded and managed by capitalists & private citizens, ie South Australian Company: Settler-colonial views - guides.slsa.sa.gov.au/c.php?g=4102... Kaurna Miyurna artist James Tylor - www.jamestylor.com/territorial-...

Recommend this important film 🤎 But explaining why Indigenous women are disproportionately represented in the statistics of missing and murdered people in America is a terrible and galling conversation to have with an Indigenous girl child learning about the world.

While the rest of Australia gets Boxing Day, in SA it's Proclamation Day 😡 Commemorates day British invaders gathered on Kaurna yarta (Aboriginal land) to declare settlement of South Australia; a colony established & funded by businessmen & capitalists, to build a white utopia with consent from King

I can see why Maaori and Pasifika fled this place.
