SibW's idea of dressing Christmassy

toscanini @catatonichic.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

I remembered that moment because I'm reading a book called "All he wants for Christmas is a fingerling", which is about a wolf shifter AND a potato shifter. Anyway.

The other week, I had dinner with whānau. There were boiled potatoes. I turned to my cousin and said, "What excellent boiled potatoes. Many years since I have had such an exemplary vegetable." My cousin did not recognise the quote and said, "Ae tika!"

That whole whakaaro is rooted in racism. We're going to combat racism with...racism

I'm a little sad that it's not enough that the principles bill is racist and harmful to Māori for ppl to object. We gotta package it up to show how it can be bad for others

I'm about to start Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch. It's a retelling of Arthur, but from Morgan Le Fay's perspective. hoarderreader had it listed on their '10 books with female rage' list

As always I recommend supporting our beautiful dying media industry by clicking on the article but this has reminded of something John Campbell said about objectivity in the "good old days" a few years ago

John Campbell arguing that newsrooms of old gave the pretense of objectivity while excluding many voices and reflecting only one, primarily white, male, point of view

Reminds me of Leclerc's article about how impartiality in discussions of racism are an epistemic privilege

Closing in fast on 200,000 signatures. The current count (194,339 right now) is the same number of people as 6.7% of voters in the 2023 general election, more than the entire NZ First vote. 250,000 would beat the entire Act Party vote. #ToitūTeTiriti

I am still afraid of storm drains today. I wish I was kidding. When my nephew was 4 years old, he's 13 now, he'd peer into storm drains and earnestly tell me, "They all float down here." Like WHAT lol

It (both the 1986 novel and the 1990 mini series). All of us, my parents and siblings, would often quote bits from it. Still do as adults. My nephews were fascinated with Pennywise as children, even though we had not shown them the film

Once, I used the word hua to one of my siblings. My mum was appalled and mortified in equal measure. When I saw this, i nearly died of LOLs, but also I thought of mama haha
