saw rotting sack of shit James Wallace creeping around the Aotearoa Art Fair opening tonight, good to know that the arts sector has learned its lesson and isn't letting him buy his way back into favour 🤡🤡🤡

visited the new Auckland LDS temple before it gets consecrated and if you've been watching Severance let's just say the art style will be.....familiar

everything sucks right now except for this makeover I did on my bedside cabinet
A little bright blue bedside cabinet with a panel of lighter blue on the door painted with a sinuous pattern of strawberry vines and flowers

Remember, Change dot org petitions are basically only good for generating social media buzz and harvesting your email details. If you want to sign a petition that requires Parliament to respond,sign one on the Parliament website. For example, one might "Remove charitable status from Destiny Church".
petitions.parliament.nz
Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.

Even if you don't understand it, this young man giving his submission entirely in te reo Māori is an eloquent case in favour of the Waitangi Tribunal-based legal and policy regime that made it possible for him to learn it

The government’s project to make us a smaller, meaner, poorer, dumber country took some great strides today.

Everyone, please make sure you post a lot of pics of your pets and other animals you know. Timelines are getting doomy and we owe it to each other. I can’t find a pic of my dog, so here’s one of a disappointed bumblebee

a $20 donation to HELP Auckland could win you this beautiful handcrafted stool made by my mate Dave who is an expert woodworker. He's donated it for the Do Something HELPful campaign and all proceeds go to support survivors to heal and prevent sexual abuse dosomethinghelpful.org.nz/david-parker

WOMAD NZ have been aggressively blocking/deleting/ignoring calls to take pro-Israel Ziggy Marley off the lineup but they liked this comment because they don't have the basic te reo literacy to understand it.....lol

Angered by Auckland Museum's shameful decision to light up for Israel while it commits atrocities against civilians in Gaza. The Hamas attack was the barbarian act of a militant few. Half the population of Gaza are children. Israel's bombing the injured, mothers and children. #IsraelIsNotTheReligion

years of mahi from my colleagues to decolonise and build relationships, undone in one decision that is both baffling and heartbreaking.
