A better formulation would be that it is hard to explain to Māori tamariki how colonisers stole their land, interrupted their way of life, and disrespected their tikanga when political representatives continue to present white settler colonialism's violence as civilised behaviour.

It’s just clips of Harris laughing. It’s the most wholesome, joyous montage you’ll ever see and they think it’s a brilliant attack. They’ve built an echo chamber of sadism and have no idea what normal humans are like anymore.

Love this summary of my win by @hendysh.bsky.social and definitely borrowing some of these words for my new bio 😂: “Dr Siouxsie Wiles helped us beat a virus. She has just stared down a billion-dollar organisation that had lost its way. I have no idea what challenge she will take on next.”

Vindication for the wonderful Dr Siouxsie Wiles, Auckland University found in derelict to their duty to her as her employer when during her public services during Covid she received abuse and even death threats with no support from Auckland University. This is a victory for women too

While many look to India's future, I'm drawn to its past. How will we write the history of the decade of #Hindutva dominance (2014–24) that unleashed hate, violence, and ignorance? I don't fully know, yet. But I share this recent documentary in which I feature. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQOf...

Again - we also have decades and decades of evidence to show that "watchful waiting" doesn't work, doesn't meaningfully reduce regret, and leads to horrible mental health outcomes - and death.
