I've literally had to get my partner to hide my work phone and laptop from me for the weekend. Because he knows I'll go on it and I've been working 17 hours days. Happy matatini though. 🫠

@manaakicollective.bsky.social is on bluesky!!!

Kneecap and indica is going to get me through the next few months.

Wow wow if you're taking legal action against the HRC to commissions... you're probably in the wrong, not a great day for NetSafe or NZTech. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

That's suspicious. That's weird. It's also wild to think you don't already have a political movement already, called the westminster system. Mt Albert, if anyone wants to text the bro.

To help those in New Zealand engage with the oral testimony to the Justice Committee hearings on the Treaty Principles Bill, I've machine-transcribed Day 1's four-hour long video livestream which was feat. on NZ Parliament's website www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/scl...

Today is my 5-year Moko kauae anniversary. Here's five things I learned. 1: I've never been more comfortable in my skin, felt more beautiful and looked more like myself 2: people will call you whaea, and speak reo to you. Pākehā will also absolutely butcher a "Meri kirihimete" at you.

In light of Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Facebook is ditching fact-checking during a time of heightened disinformation and polarisation, a colleague and I have written an op-ed about what this means for New Zealand's public sector. www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Has anyone seen any good submission on the Principles bill? I'm look for some to cite support of in mine, so far I have the Māori Law Society, and the human rights commission.

This event is on tomorrow night. My speech is written and I need people to laugh at my three jokes. Haere mai!!!! events.humanitix.com/human-rights...

Heads up to those submitting on the Treaty Bill. Submissions that call people racist won't be accepted. New guidance from the Justice Committee states that the committee will not accept: -racist material, particularly overt racism and characterizing people as racist

For those is are Wellington based and interested in this kind of thing, I will be speaking at this UN event at parliament, on the 3rd of December about disinformation online. events.humanitix.com/human-rights...

In 1896, 56 years after Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the lowest numbers of Māori population were recorded. There were only 42,000 Māori recorded in 1896. Today 128 years later, 42,000 people showed up to protect Te Tiriti o Waitang, to fight for tino rangatiratanga, to fight against colonialism.

Absolutely devastated to share that I recently lost my beautiful cousin Te Ohomauri John Jones. Like many Māori, he recently moved to Australia to find a better life for his whānau. Please if you can, donate. Please ask for help. He was so loved. givealittle.co.nz/cause/in-lov...

Any portable air purifier recommendations. Looking for something I can fit in a bag, for planes and conferences.

I've been learning how to sew my own clothes the last few months. I made this top, coat and bag recently. And they all make me really happy

Listening to Woof by Nahbo all day is all thats getting my through right now.

Me vs the powdery mildew in my māra

The way in which I have seen pākehā men in positions of power have zero care for the safety of wāhine Māori is exhausting.

Since I'm going away for Xmas, I thought I'd do a big green tomato harvest and make my Nana's green tomato chutney. All of these from 5 tomato plants.

Our pet stick insect (that lives on a bonsai on our porch) shed its skin last night to size up!

Guess who just tested positive for covid for the first time... Any tips or tricks? I feel ok, just tired with a head ache.

Her teeth are lipstick free and she's in the regions babbbyyyy

I sincerely wish artists did not write the way art schools taught us.

Finally finished this paint I've been working on for a few months. She's big, around 2 metres tall. And she makes me happy.

Honestly. I just wanna garden.

Me at every job I apply for:

Needing a link to published works explaining why you shouldn't engage with far right media please and thank you 🙏🏾

Ata marie, I just realised there is scientific evidence proving that the stress cause by racism has long term negative effects on the health of your heart. So. Marie indeed.

What do we do post election night? Say it with me... Stress clean the whole houseeeee
